***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

[Spikey]

there was a massive noise live and it could have hardly been bat on ground

Have to say that's a tad unlucky for England, with both decisions (Ali and Broad) going against them.

How was Broad unlucky? Clear mark on HotSpot and noise on Snicko.

Yeah, but apart from the fact he hit it...unlucky.

And only one man with the eyes of a Hawk and the ears of an Eagle heard it.

Tim Paine, apologize to him.

Unlucky that Australia had reviews left.

All over.

Ball looks nice when he smiles.

I know it's coming at 140 clicks, but if you can't play the short ball surely the tactic is "if I pick up it's short, I duck". Then again, he probably can't pick it up until it's too late.

Cummins is the dream son in law

 

[Pothas]

So frustrating.

3 fer coming from Starc here.

Suppose you could say England were unlucky that the appeal happened when it did, 3 or 4 wickets down and Australia probably don't bother reviewing.

Feel like the short ball attack in the second innings had a lot more purpose and venom than in the first innings; the short ball was used a bit smarter and were generally better deliveries.

England need to get Warner out in the first 5 overs to have any chance here you think. Even then on a fairly flat pitch 170 ought to be easily chasable.

 

[Pothas]

I know it is pointless to mention in it but Ball is playing instead of Stokes in this Test, the drop in quality is beyond ridiculous.

 

[vcs]

Need Australia 4-70 or something down by end of day's play to keep the excitement going.

 

[Pratters]

I like Starc. The porn star look is an important aspect for the team.

 

[Spark]

That really was horrible in the last ten minutes though. 13/14 all over again.

 

[Burgey]

What a capitulation. Sad.

Maybe but should have thought that before brawling.
