***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

[Burgey]

Am i right in saying the Gabba is usually at its quickest on day 2 and 3?

Generally yeah, but this seems slower than normal. They were saying the players’ shoes were leaving sprig marks before play on it, which tells me they’ve pumped a bit more juice in it early to make it last a full five days.

 

[Cow]

Cummins and Hazlewood bowling a bit too full for me.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That would've been out lbw if CW's geniuses were in charge of the game's laws.

 

[Burgey]

Stoneman’s set up reminds me of a young Tubby Taylor.

 

[Starfighter]

Vaughan?

Oh. My. God.

****.

 

[Prince EWS]

That would've been out lbw if CW's geniuses were in charge of the game's laws.

Wait, why? Which ball are you referring to?

 

[Furball]

Vaughan?

Oh. My. God.

****.

Keep him.

The one down leg which flicked Stoneman's pad

 

[Furball]

Just realised I've watched the entirety of the first session so far on a minute's delay.

 

[Prince EWS]

The one down leg which flicked Stoneman's pad

Under which boneheaded rule change suggestion would that have been out?

 

[Burgey]

Time for the GOAT.

 

[Furball]

The one down leg which flicked Stoneman's pad

How, exactly?

 

[Starfighter]

Heeeeeerrrre's Garry!

 

[Furball]

I really hope Lyon gets belted here.

 

[Burgey]

Under which boneheaded rule change suggestion would that have been out?

LBW Pitching outside leg

 

[the big bambino]

After all the trash talked about Vince he seems to shaping up. Would love to have a look at how he's playing but the soonest I could do that would be about 4:30 and he'd be about 150*. So best he gets out now and to remain curious about him.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Under which boneheaded rule change suggestion would that have been out?

How, exactly?

There were posts saying people want the "pitched outside leg" part removed from the lbw rule

 

[Woodster]

Both Vince and Stoneman have left the ball really well, Stoneman in particular. Vince’s leave always seems a little reluctant and less balanced, always thinking about putting bat to ball and then leaving as a last resort.

A few typically sumptuous strokes from Vince so far.

 

[Spark]

Under which boneheaded rule change suggestion would that have been out?

Removing pitched outside leg (and hit inside/outside the line)

 

[Burgey]

Lyons gonna get stoneman lbw here
