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

[Cabinet96]

Well who are we to critique the long hop strategy.

 

[Spark]

You have such a problem with pitches that aren't fast
#AllPitchesMatter #SlowCricketIsCricketToo

If Australia had another decent spinner to support Lyon they'd be loving these conditions

I have a problem with pitches that are boring.

 

[Prince EWS]

KP: bowl bouncers

Brilliant idea except that it's a slow, flat road

Social tasting it.

 

[social]

Maybe.. however.. if it bakes under the sun all day will it quicken up by tomorrow?

Doubtful as it simply isn't hard enough

Even when the Gabba isn't that quick on Day 1, it still bounces

This is just a pillow

Oh bowling **** does pay

 

[Furball]

Starc is back to his old floaty self again

Also, look, this pitch is horrible.

Need both teams to bat on it to properly judge it but this feels like a turgid draw pitch.

 

[91Jmay]

To allow that woeful tactic to get a wicket is embarrassing.

 

[Cow]

Errrgghhhh... that left arm toilet duck bowling gets a wicket.

Sickening.

There's no justice in this world.

Yeah. A slow Gabba pitch on Day 1 isn't new, but usually it has really loopy tennis ball bounce.

 

[Cabinet96]

Was a better ball because he made him fetch it a bit more from wider.

 

[Cow]

That could work in our favour. Smith might be tempted to bowl Starc more which can only benefit England.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Pretty soft way to get out when you're on 50odd.

 

[Gnske]

Oh look, one finally hitting the stumps

 

[adub]

review it, but good ball

 

[_Ed_]

Looks worth a review to me, but could be umpire's call.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeeees, review coming tho.

 

[Spark]

I thought he hit that at first

 

[Scaly piscine]

Completely thrown away the initiative.

 

[Daemon]

Always good to get a giggle out of blokes copping an injury, eh?

You were literally the first person to make a joke when the news of Marsh's back came out lol

 

[Cabinet96]

No big scores kills you.

Marsh isn't a bloke
