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

[Gnske]

Harmless, should have straight batted it. Know I would.

 

[adub]

That's why everyone in Australian Cricket has been desperate to get this guy fit.

 

[morgieb]

Root and Vince is gonna be interesting.

 

[Starfighter]

Wonderful what bowling straight at the stumps does. Moved only a little, but it was enough.

 

[Cabinet96]

Are they using the bails from the big bash as well? Thought I saw them light up.

Can anybody spot the problem with this cricinfo live score page?

I keep forgetting it’s gone to ****.

The ball hurried the batsman. It was too hot to handle

Yup. Looks quite naff.

 

[Burgey]

I trust everyone bagging the Aussie bowlers about their mo’s doesn’t realise they’re doing it for charity. Typically, the Poms aren’t as they only think about themselves.

Yeah, it's flashing like an ambulance

Nah, he got too square and the slight movement took it through.

 

[Cabinet96]

Good start to the skipper this.

 

[morgieb]

Crucial wicket in the last over.

Done a good job in keeping the run rate down. The rest of England's middle order though is naturally agressive (though tbf so is Vince/Stoneman) so we might see a move on.

 

[adub]

Worked the heat up well there Cummo.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gutted I missed the inevitable Paine drop

 

[Spikey]

I will say it was nice of Paine to keep me alive in Last Man Standing

Do you mind changing your avatar because i feel like punching the screen

 

[vcs]

That was a Paine-ful drop, really made me Vince. I'm not Lyon to you.

 

[stephen]

Gorgeous ball that one by Cummins. Really lovely to see. But that gap between bat and pad was wide enough to park a jumbo jet in.

 

[Goughy]

Not been around here for a while. Just come in from a night out in Trinidad and excited for this Test. Recorded the play and **** me...it is the Aussie commentary. As it has been previously,...unlistenable.

On the plus side, the rain break was a great reminder of the genius Warne was. I watched it all in real time yars ago but I wouldnt believe how good he was without the occasional reminder.
