    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    Jesus Christ I hope this isn't true. Was just thinking this morning that they're probably going to try do something funky like they did in England. Poor Nathan :(

    133rd Thread - Home or Away?

    The bragging rights of saying you stayed up to watch all five days of a Test in England is definitely worth the tiredness IMO.

    Mitchell Johnson's Return to Test Matches

    Would not take that ftr. If it was 2.5-3 an over, then yes. When our bowling to you blokes depends so much on keeping it tight, we just can't afford Mitch to leak the runs.

    Ashes Pub Quiz

    Is it a negative point for a wrong answer?

    Ashley Noffke, wasted potential?

    Yeah he had that massive season with the bat and the ball, though IIRC it was around the same time McDonald was doing roughly the same and they went with him instead.

    Channel 9 finally bow to benchmark00 pressure

    Yeah I read through the thread but you just said you have seen it, but not actually said when. Which is exactly what Stapel is doing with Snicko. Honestly just wondering because I too can't remember a mark on Hot Spot that couldn't be easily discounted the same way you can easily discount an...

    Channel 9 finally bow to benchmark00 pressure

    Seriously though benchy, have you actually seen a false positive from Hot Spot?

    Australia's next series is in South Africa in February, so done. If he misses those due to injury, then we'll just go three months. If he's dropped long though term then I deserve my fate and will stick it out. Think I'll just limit it to one sorry mate. Too much pressure trying to pick...

    Channel 9 finally bow to benchmark00 pressure

    Just when you think they've got it right. The Ashes 2013-14 : Snicko is Hot Spot's insurance policy | Cricket News | England in Australia - The Ashes | ESPN Cricinfo Unless it's a time issue, it seems bizarre that they're not going to be using it all the time.

    Nah, gonna stick to my guns. Plus I've had this avatar for so long that a change for a while would be nice.

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    MJ will definitely get the brand new cherry. If Watto wasn't coming back from injury, Clarke may well do what he did at Lords and give him the ball after a couple to see if he can get Cook with the one swinging in and then take him off pretty quickly. Given his hamstring though I suspect they'll...

    Thinking I should've made it 400 tbh, but you've quoted me now so I'll stick with it. I do reckon he'll have a ripper of a series though.

    Willing to bet that Steve Smith will score at least 2 tons and 450+ for the series. Void if he gets injured, but not if he gets dropped on form.

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    God I love the feeling right before the first Test of the summer, especially for the Ashes. The anticipation, the first Channel 9 cricket theme of the summer, howardj telling us the weather is set fair, gentlemen. Even Mark Nicholas' wankery at the start of the broadcast doesn't get me down...

    Next test captain

    8 posts, 6 threads started. Plenty of intent. Also, AWTA ftr. What can't he do?

    Mitchell Johnson's Return to Test Matches

    Think he'll take about 5/180 all up, going at around 3.5-4 an over. Just enough to lose/draw the game but still get picked for the rest of the series. Negligible returns with the bat, 30 runs tops.

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    Is anyone honestly expecting that much from Bailey? I'm really just backing a couple of 30s from him. Which tbh we'd probably take.
