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

[mr_mister]

I was very adamant Westley looked better than Malan over the English summer

 

[mr_mister]

Does England have Balance in the squad to come in for Malan?

 

[Starfighter]

Five out of six leading bowlers for the year spinners.

I though banning bowlers for chucking their doosras was supposed to kill spin and we should allow 30° of bending?

 

[burr]

Do think this Aus attack a bowler short. A bit samey. The two classiest batsmen in here.

We have Stokes, gay rights champion and P4P hardest man in cricket.

He's on the next plane to HMS Aus the second this phony police thing gets thrown out.

Malan has probably done better in this Test than there were expecting (I was certainly expecting a double failure, rather than an important fifty and then a failure), so I'd be surprised if they dropped him straight away.

Yes, I do realise you were just trying to make a Ballance pun.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Why is Root so obsessed with hooking and pulling the fast/short stuff? Just keep your bloody wicket.

 

[Starfighter]

Same here.

Does England have Balance in the squad to come in for Malan?

Yes, but since he got 50 in the first innings you think he'd be safe.

 

[vcs]

This is awesome from Lyon.

[Pratters]

Root has been ordinary today playing stupid shots and far too many shots. At least he is still out there.

 

[Cabinet96]

I'd prefer Ballance in the side than Malan but the latter isn't really deserving of a dropping yet despite having played no stand out innings in his career so far.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Do not know why Starc is sledging Ali; he is the calmest man to have ever played cricket.

Starcs a bit of a douche these days IMO

Cummins seems a top bloke though

Unfortunately when you have a captain who puts high stock on his players being douches...

 

[Cabinet96]

Moeen not treating Lyon like he's Murali

Smith chastised Starc for some on field behavior last year. As for Warner Smith probably just let's him do what he wants to keep him happy

I think Smith is a good captain. Some ex players chime in too much though with their management ideas

 

[Cow]

This. We should be lifting this fairy'esq filth into the stands.

 

[mr_mister]

Mate Lyon is ripping it

No shame in admitting he's bowling like a beast

 

[Pratters]

Lyon doesn't chuck like Murali, so he is better.
