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

[Starfighter]

Spending a lot of time tamping the footmarks this match. An argument for returning to the back-foot rule there.

 

[veganbob]

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

Well he doesn't use performance enhancing drugs like shane warne, so he is better than warne too.

 

[mr_mister]

**** yeah Moeen. Would love to see him make runs

 

[mr_mister]

How much are we betting Root is dismissed between 60-80

 

[Pratters]

Well he doesn't use performance enhancing drugs like shane warne, so he is better than warne too.

Nah, Warne better than Lyon or any other spinner in the last many years.

 

[Starfighter]

I think England'll be wanting four times... and as I say that he's out.

 

[Gnske]

Another classic Joe Root innings

 

[Spark]

That is peak Root

 

[Cabinet96]

**** me talk about cliche.

 

[Cow]

Well played, Skip. Now triple it

edit- lbw falling over again.

what a ****

 

[Pratters]

Lol, crazy.

 

[morgieb]

**** that’s huge.

Surprised no review, though you expect the ball to at least hit part of the stumps.

 

[vcs]

Meme Root strikes again.

 

[Spark]

I was literally opening the thread to post about his fifty and how he needed to not get out soon afterwards, and the very next ball

 

[mr_mister]

Too good. Now Ali has to bat carefully and hel get bogged down

 

[Spark]

I think he does have a technical problem with his front foot balance though. I really thought he'd ironed that out completely, but he's clearly falling across the crease.

 

[mr_mister]

**** that’s huge.

Surprised no review, though you expect the ball to at least hit part of the stumps.

Maybe pride comes into it. Can't look good for your captain to review just to show it cannoning into middle

 

[Starfighter]

England really blew it in the first innings but it's looking like this could be a disappointment. Barstool's gotta go well here.

 

[Pratters]

How would you literally open a thread?

 

[Furball]

**** that’s huge.

Would have been a Watson-esque review if he'd called for it.
