[grecian]

Hw bowls to the left

Mitchell Jonson...
Sorry just trying to remind myself of happier times.

 

[Spark]

So yeah this doesn't look like a bowl-first pitch

 

[Cabinet96]

One full on the pads and one short and wide. Just like old times!

Wouldn't have minded Siddle taking the new pill

MJ Only Bowls Well When Haddin Has Saved Australia

Like the Gabba 2010?

i didn't say he always bowled well after Haddin Has Saved Australia

 

[Cabinet96]

Botham can't understand why England haven't picked all six seamers this series, and haven't played inferior bowlers here. Carn Beefy, you're better than this.



Well, you're not really, but it's Christmas ffs, lift your game.

Fine Durban 2009.

Note: I have no idea what Haddin's contribution to that game was, but I'll take my chances.

mute is always the option I take with Beefy.

I thought it was ballsy to bowl first. I guess that we want to demoralise them even further but our big strength was setting the tempo of the game when we bat first.

Well what will I have to complain about if I do that? We've not lost a wicket yet ffs.

 

[Spikey]

yeeeeeeeeeees classic clarkeh move.

 

[Johnners]

'sok, Mitch was just lulling them back into a false sense of security. Will be devastating in his second spell (y)

 

[Son Of Coco]

Harris is the perfect bowler to bowl to Cook. Zero forward movement from Cook and he bowls just short of a length around off-stump.

Loving Cook's play here today. He's not getting more half-volleys than in the series so far but has done done bugger-all with them. Finally putting them away, great to see.

Think he was doing a bit at Perth as well tbf. But yeah, fully agree.

Have faith an England Batsman will do something cretinous anytime soon.

Harris' pace right up today. I can't think of a better indication he's been promised a rest for Sydney.
