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

[adub]

oh this is some testing stuff from Cummins

 

[Second Spitter]

Brutal bouncers

This is expected since the ICC outlawed yorkers.

 

[vcs]

Cummins all over Stoneman

 

[Pratters]

Fair bit of turn for Lyon.

 

[SeamUp]

Credit to Stomenan for showing proper test match fight here.

Cummins

 

[stephen]

Cummins has been brutal here.

 

[Cabinet96]

Seriously impressive from Stoneman this test tbh.

 

[burr]

I like Stoneman, he's got some fight. This could turn into a genuinely epic series. Could see Root responding to Smith here.

Australian batsman really should be ashamed they are so reliant on Smith.

Closest thing to a Windies circa 80s barrage we've seen in years

Heaven help the batters if we ever produce a quick deck again & Patto is fit

 

[Burgey]

Would say that’s our day

 

[burr]

So will it be a draw? My forecast says showers for tomorrow? That will be good for my 2-1 England prediction.

Hopefully the rest of the series' wickets will be quicker. I'd blame the weather more than anything for this one I guess.

80's Windies would throw in the odd yorker here and there......the only yorker I've seen in this match has been bowled by Nathan Lyon.

Cummins all over Stoneman

Is that a euphemism?

 

[TNT]

I know Cook lacks a bit of personality but he seems to be quite bored with cricket at the moment. does he even want to play anymore.

 

[Second Spitter]

Can't blame him not wanting to jeopardise his chances of a knighthood.

 

[Cow]

Advantage Aus. But they have only 3 recognised batsmen in Warner, Smith and Cummins. A 220+ lead and the 4th innings will be interesting.

Look at his record

For a top class opener, he really isn't an exceptional player of quick bowling

I'm talking about his body language, he just seems to be going through the motions.

He's already jizzed all over Aus in an Ashes away series. Maybe he thinks cos he has his "aussie wings" that the challenge isn't really there anymore.

Lots of these senior players have won a few too many Ashes series.. it might negatively effect their motivation for another one.
