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

[Starfighter]

Boo Starc. Wasn't anywhere near the stumps.

A pair for Burns.

 

[Starfighter]

Surely that's not being overturned unless he hit it.

 

[Burgey]

When Crowe set up Cricket Max for Sky he brought in the league commentator Graeme Hughes. Crowe and Danny Morrison both copied his style.

Graeme Hughes in the Grand Final for world's biggest **** tbh. Runs an arvo radio show here which is not well listened to called "Talkin' Sport" but which should be called "Talkin' Bulldogs" given the **** he and Peter Tunks spew on it.

 

[Burgey]

Height maybe?

 

[Starfighter]

**** **** ****!

 

[morgieb]

Good referral that. Think replay it looked high-ish but can see why the ump gave it.

 

[Burgey]

Man, if Burns goes on to make eight here, it'll be disappointing.

Very good first over.

 

[Starfighter]

I hate it when Starc bowls this length.

 

[Burgey]

Mark Waugh making some interesting points re Burns' footwork. He almost ends up in a Kepler Wessels-like position by the time the ball is bowled.

 

[Gob]

Does Burns ever drive? Must be impossible with that grip and rotated bat face towards the on side

 

[Burgey]

Fmd first ball produces that. He’s next level, the skipper.

 

[nightprowler10]

Cummins gets that extra bounce right away.

Lets be honest here we are utterly stuffed barely any preparation and facing bowling like this on a seaming gabba wicket.

Not to mention the luck factor Warner out on a NB, Head multiple chances none carried and the biggest factor the sun was beaming down during the entire AUS 1st innings.

Not sure what else was expected from this England side.

**** show.

Kepler Wessels...now that's winding back the clock.
but yeah, Rory sure does look awkward.
BTW thats a lovely looking cover drive you have there Burgey.

You won the toss. Can’t be blaming the weather

Same excuse Stalin used for letting the Nazis almost reach Moscow

 

[Son Of Coco]

Brett Lee with 'Gotta give it to a female' after losing some sort of lunchtime debate on Fox. There's no doubt he votes LNP.

They've had as much preparation as non-big 3 side gets before a 1st test.

When was the last time Lyon bowled well?
