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

[Burgey]

So not a great scorecard to wake to though possibly better than I feared. Then I start watching Leach fall to pieces. But then of course I hear the comms including Warne start to float a declaration. At 290/6 on day 2.

They actually fought back really well tbh. This has been some knock.

just between stokes and leach, england has given away 140 runs in just 18 overs...and that is with several no-balls not being called...

 

[Shady Slim]

my fears of head making runs against a dogshit attack and tricking people into thinking he can bat are taking shape

it's hard to be right literally all the time but i manage it

Ben Stokes literally woke up one day in his late teens talking like a Northener and people just act like he’s a normal non-insane person. He’s Michael Jackson’s character from The Simpsons, but also ginger and prone to attempted murder.

Can CW posters be sued?

Have you ever stood next to Ben Stokes at a urinal? How's his height?

 

[91Jmay]

No Mark Waugh, they shouldn't declare you silly mong.

Did you dig this up from Robinson's twitter?

Truth is a complete defense to a defamation claim.

I'd forgotten Cummins was out there.

 

[Bahnz]

Even by the standards of modern cricket, England’s over rate has been appalling. They’re going to finish at least 10 overs short of the mandated 98.

I think he forgot too with that shot.

I mean they're not even in the same postcode as match fit so they probably can't physically manage any faster

 

[morgieb]

Weird dismissal that.

 

[GIMH]

The fight back is on

 

[Burgey]

Look what happens when Cummins bats like a Beta instead of hitting out like the Alpha God he can be.

"I like Mitchell Starc and have nothing against him... nothing personal" - Shane Warne

 

[Prince EWS]

Junior trolling Warne about Starc, he completely took the bait too

 

[Shady Slim]

FLINTOFF MOMENT

 

[Gnske]

Nice Trav

 

[Spark]

does that one go in the thread

 

[Anil]

The fight back is on

you mean for the adelaide test?

 

[Burgey]

Like trav, you've been boss, but take a step across and smote these half trackers through midwicket.
