*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[ajdude]

such a shame carn_the_pies was banned, was looking forward to his quality banter. can vicaggression be another version of carn_the_pies; an alt version?

Rumours on the twittersphere that England are bringing Bresnan in for Monty and that's it.

Not addressing England's tail starting at Stokes, which is particularly worrying given our batting efforts so far and the WACA's reputation.

but Bresnan Can Bat

 

[Top_Cat]

Think he'll be a passenger on it actually. With TPC, Gravy and Clarke all able to provide some serviceable spin and Watson back bowling going with four frontline quicks on that doesn't look like too bad a decision on a deck that green. It'll dry out heaps for sure with the expected temps, but will the game last that long? Give the Rug a run ****s!

Clarke's shown no inclination to bowl on flatter decks than this is likely to be so I doubt he's an option. And Smith won't be called upon to bowl big overs so Lyon a must, myself.

Definitely be batting first on this deck. Hot and windy conditions will be tough to bat and bowl in and the pitch won't get too much worse over time. Get runs on the board first.

If true utterly depressing, you bring 3 extra (to go with Broad) big hit-the-deck merchants to Oz, then you don't play any of them at Perth. I ****ing despair.

Hmmm, must be the first time both skips playing their 100th in the same Test yeah?

 

[Jarquis]

Bres in for Monty. That's it.

or alternatively, ajdude is the best poster ever.

 

[Top_Cat]

Cook not convincing. He's coming across as not 'up for the fight' at all.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah, as I've said before, a fan of Stokes at 6.

 

[Riggins]

**** off

Hey that was a compliment. I genuinely enjoyed the visitor message though.

 

[ajdude]

**** off

just reported your post pal, an experienced poster such as yourself should know better. i'm disappointed in you tbh

 

[ajdude]

Mark Nicholas could do with a sudafed or 8

Yeah I would be frustrated a little with that too. The thing is though, I feel as though the 3 best quicks have been picked and Bresnan solidifies the batting order somewhat too.

 

[ajdude]

do you reckon it was awkward when making that coat of arms ad with Warner, Rogers and Cowan all standing together? bit of tension

 

[grecian]

Oh well, that side has driven me to bed. Prove me wrong England, but unless Broad has one of his wonder spells, I reckon we're struggling all match
