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

[Cow]

Unless Australia collapse in their innings, this is going to be pretty certainly a draw I think.

Have Australia been prone to batting collapses in the last decade?

 

[Cow]

Why is Malan apologising?

6 half trackers @ waist height

Healy: "That over was good"

Starc has been throwing down sewage since his second over.

 

[Starfighter]

Starc getting some serious lift here. If he puts in enough effort, he might reach chest height.




Johnson 13/14 this ain't.

 

[Furball]

This is garbage from Starc.

 

[mustardcharlie]

Excellent 50 for Malan. (I say that as a big Balance fan), Exactly what was required from these 2. Hope they can bat until lunch.

 

[Cow]

Moeen finding the fielders at the moment.

 

[Spark]

Starc is back to his old floaty self again

Also, look, this pitch is horrible.

Maybe.. however.. if it bakes under the sun all day will it quicken up by tomorrow?

 

[Cabinet96]

Well, couldn't have asked for a better hour and a half than this.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah, Smith should bowl a couple of overs here. Just to try get them hitting down the ground.

I don't think we can just assume that before it actually happens. Before then, this is as bad as the pitches rolled out in 2014-15.

 

[Daemon]

Horrible wicket. Australia should look to the India and SL for good examples of pitches.

 

[adub]

needed that

 

[Spark]

Well, ****, he got one right.

 

[Gnske]

Was actually hoping Malan would get a ton just to punish us tbqh

 

[Starfighter]

Oh brother. No way that bowling deserved a wicket.

You have such a problem with pitches that aren't fast

If Australia had another decent spinner to support Lyon they'd be loving these conditions

Tbh I don't mind slow pitches at all if they turn and bounce. Pitches which are just slow are ****.
