[Starfighter]

Umpires for the tests:

Look forward to DRS getting a workout in the last two.

When previous series' footage gets shown it will generally be found that 2010-11 is forgotten about. Hmm.

 

[Gnske]

Nothing like waking up to Kevin Pietersen's voice

 

[Starfighter]

Jeez Root's conversion rate is crap.

 

[Cabinet96]

Think Root will convert well this series. Concentration levels should be at a maximum.

 

[Gnske]

why is Pietersen wearing Kanye's with his suit

 

[Starfighter]

Those shoes, KP. Why?

 

[stephen]

It really sucked having to walk to work past the crowds of people waiting for a bus to the Gabba.

 

[Adders]

I wasn't in the room at the time, but did I really hear KP in his opening address say "I wanna be playing, but I can't play"

 

[Starfighter]

I'd rather he was playing, only so I wouldn't have to listen to his talking.

 

[Cabinet96]

No pre toss look at the pitch

 

[Starfighter]

England batting. Good start so far.

 

[Cabinet96]

Ok I'm nervous now.

 

[Adders]

Get in there Joe!! Strike one us.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

England's got pretty good at having tatty caps. Badge on Root's looks brown.

(Still some way to a Prior though)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Think Root will convert well this series. Concentration levels should be at a maximum.

Only 3 hundreds in 25 tests away from England adn Wales

 

[MW1304]

Ok I'm nervous now.

Hate watching us bat first. Amplified here.

 

[Starfighter]

Who in 2011 would have picked that the player with the most matches in the Australian team would be Nathan Lyon?

 

[stephen]

Well England should be grateful that they won the toss. Steve Smith's average drops from 94 in the first innings of a match to merely 50 in the second innings.

 

[Compton]

Not sure I agree with Bairstow at 7. I’d have him top 5 no question.
