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

[Cabinet96]

This is the game then. Maybe bring one of Broad or Jimmy back.

 

[straw man]

Chris Rogers gets credit for his crystal ball calling that one. Him and half the country, it seems.

Moeen showing Lyon how to bowl a straighter one.

 

[Spikey]

bloody hell TPC has 5500 runs

 

[Jarquis]

Could only have been better had he reviewed it

This really goes to show that you don't pick blokes based on a couple of decent games in the shield. Renshaw might not have scored any more than Bancroft but he'd never have nicked one playing away from the body like that.

Imagine if Khawaja had have been given another test in Bangladesh to learn how to play spin better. The Australian selectors are so frustrating.

 

[Starfighter]

59.76

Decent average.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Usman's abilities well acknowledged by the commentators as well

He would have failed dismally?

 

[Shri]

Hope we get this pitch when we tour next time.

 

[Athlai]

More like "Not us man" Khawaja

 

[Spikey]

hahahahha what a start

 

[Starfighter]

Imagine if Khawaja had have been given another test in Bangladesh to learn how to play spin better.

He's 30. He's not going to ever learn to play spin better. That sort of stuff needs to be ingrained in the teens.

Good to see they're adopting the Blocky strategy to Smith.

 

[Cow]

Aus still so dangerous despite only having two recognised batsmen.

This is now the game for England.

 

[Burgey]

Ussie clueless against spin. Embarrassing

 

[Spark]

Hope we get this pitch when we tour next time.

Actually this pitch isn't too dissimilar to what the Day 1 pitch was like for your lot last time. Very, very different after that though. Those cracks would make this Test kind of hilarious.

 

[Daemon]

Ussie clueless against spin. Embarrassing

Must be so frustrating for him. In a parallel world where finger spin was outlawed he'd probably be bossing it.

 

[Prince EWS]

it's a shame Lyon doesn't get to bowl to Khawaja

He did two weeks ago in the Shield. Got him out.

 

[Pothas]

Broad or Anderson got to come back here.

Moeen showing Lyon how to bowl a straighter one.

Funnily enough, it was the attempted offbreak, but because Moeen isn't as good at Lyon at landing the ball on the seam, it hit the side and just skid on.

Lyon's offbreak is just too good for his own good.
