1st Test at Brisbane, 8th-12th of December 2021

[Pothas]

Wood ahead of Broad is just never going to seem right to me. Regardless of conditions.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He certainly didn’t have a poor one as many ‘Anderson can’t bowl in Australia’ supporters would have you believe.

Except he did though. When his team needed him the most (the first innings) Anderson once again failed to deliver

Outside of that second innings in Adelaide where Australia never should have batted again in the first place, he returned 12 wickets at 35.83. If that is good then I would love to know what you consider a bad series

Woakes ahead of Broad away seems even weirder to me. Batting a factor?

Outside his best innings his average goes up? Bloody hell. Shocked here

Who’d have thought it?! The old, take that good performance out of the equation debating point!

Definitely. Robinson at 8 does feel too high so I can understand that.

Wood just never actually takes any wickets.

Typical Gabba crowd of about twenty-eight.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Generally I dislike that sort of thing myself, but it is relevent because if Smith had done the right thing and enforced the follow on Anderson would have never recieved such favourable conditions in the first place

Robinson-Wood-Broad-Leach seems fine to me with Buttler at 7. I could understand if it was three rabbits right after Robinson or there was a bowling allrounder at 7 as well.

I like Woakes anyway though so I'm happy to see him get an opportunity, just wouldn't have gone that way myself.

Queenslanders actually have careers unlike their poverty stricken Southern neighbours

 

[straw man]

Pumped. This should be a great distraction from work today.

Surely keeping Broad purely to bowl at Warner would've been worthwhile.

Lol yeah like I believe that.

 

[Burgey]

Fasntastic to see former Australian hard man, accomplished number 3 and selector David Boon as match referee here.

 

[Burgey]

So good to have some test cricket for Aus again after so long. Hopefully a fair few verbals dished out to these openers as they walked out, but nothing which #crossestheline.

 

[Gnske]

Oh no they're actually using the Fox BBL scorecard graphics.

It's ****ing hideous. How much of the screen do you want to take up ffs?
