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

[GIMH]

England should have just bowled first. Cowards

Don’t disagree and as I told @Prince EWS just now, I blame Nasser

Interesting that Cummins said he’d have bat too. Especially as a reasonable quality pacer himself

Btw if I was a Test captain and lost the toss I’d always just say I’d have chosen whatever we were going to do anyway. ‘So GIMH you’re playing on the M25 today in 30 degree sunshine and not a cloud to be seen and you’re bowling first, what would you have done?’

‘Oh yeah I was gonna bowl anyway lad, looks like there’s a bit about’

Anti-climatic

They're invoking the Chennai influence on Haze being in this rich vein of form.

It was so weird when people were talking about England winning yesterday. This isn't a dig at England but teams have been 2 down for 200 plus like forever only to crumble

for me it was just the prospect of not being thrashed

 

[morgieb]

Admittedly I don't know if Robinson can handle it OK, but I don't think any of the English tail should see it in their own half.

Dhoni taking credit for the 5-0 this time round?

 

[tony p]

At least England bat all the way to number 11.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Stop the game. Scores are level.

Boundary count

 

[Croadymeister]

Wanted England to make me eat my words, sadly Root yet again unable to convert a half century. Feels like that happens too often and Malan unable to match Travis Head.

 

[GIMH]

Warne, ‘Australia don’t have to bat yet’

but the scores are level so um what am I missing?

 

[Days of Grace]

Scores are level.

Warnie: “Australia don’t have to bat yet!”

 

[ashley bach]

Congratulations to England, who have forced Australia to bat again.
Truly a proud day for them and a moment to remember for a long time to come.

 

[GIMH]

England in the lead!! You suck Australia. **** off @Gnske you farted at the Mafia awards

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Did Warner apply any Dettol on those bruised ribs?

 

[Gob]

How's Hunt there he is playing the lions game no?

Root's last 3 50s were all converted to tons you fool

Already got out twice. In other news, maddog currently 62(39) and street is about to make a century in the A game

 

[Burgey]

Funny thing was I just came back from washing up some dishes and the TV was normal. It was funny reading over 3 pages of tech issues.

Don’t you have a dishwasher?

Just seems to not convert as much as a world class batsman should. Seen this story of England capitulating so many times
