All Clear: Sky Clear. Ground Clear. Stands Clear.

Opening with Lyon is an interesting choice. Would have thought a burst from Starc/Cummins would have been in order.

 

[Burgey]

Might be an end change thing

Bah, sitting at work having given up a free ticket to watch the first day. Thank god for the internal TV setup on our staff computers.

 

[Cabinet96]

There's your runs down the ground.

Red hair, while looking fantastic on a pretty woman makes Bairstow look like an overgrown carrot.

Redheads are a bit like left-handed golfers. It always looks a little wrong.

 

[stephen]

Cummins way too full that over.

 

[Burgey]

Might be an end change thing

Nope

Redheads are a bit like left-handed golfers. It always looks a little wrong.

It genuinely looks OK on some people like Craig McDermott. But Bairstow's fair is way too bright.

 

[Cabinet96]

Probably says a lot about the pitch and how the seamers bowled before lunch, but think both these batsmen would probably rather face the seamers than Lyon now.

 

[harsh.ag]

Think Starc prefers bowling after the moisture has dried out.

 

[stephen]

The Gabba will be bone dry right now. The drainage is that good.

It's glorious to see the Australian attack lead by a finger spinner on Day 1 of the Ashes at the Gabba.

Cricket at it's finest indeed.

 

[Starfighter]

Stoneman's cowan.

 

[Cow]

Decent line from Cummins. Stoneman needs to be watchful

 

[Starfighter]

The Gabba will be bone dry right now.

The crowd won't be

The drainage is that good.

Have to be due to the previous.

 

[Cow]

Just seen an Aussie advert for a device that crushes cows. WTF

Ruined my day

 

[social]

Just an awful first day pitch

Ah yes, the ads for agricultural equipment that always seem to be on during the cricket.

 

[Cabinet96]

Guess you can't ask for more than a highest test score from the bloke.
