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

[Starfighter]

Remember when Starc would bowl yorkers to tailenders

Good days weren't they?

 

[Gnske]

They did this to Broad last time he was at the Gabba too, didn't work then

 

[Starfighter]

It's all stupid Warnes advice to try and transform him into an enforcer

The general thing to do in cricket is to listen to what Warne says and then do the opposite.

 

[morgieb]

FFS. Stop bowling short.

 

[Spark]

This is honestly terrible

 

[Cabinet96]

People are so obsessed with trying to present Broad as a coward they never notice he's quite effective at slogging short deliveries into gaps in the field.

 

[Cow]

Hazlewood was pretty bad in The Ashes in England. Is this a bit of stage fright? Usually he is bang on the money.

 

[Gnske]

Oh look it worked everyone, vindicated.

Genius bowling

 

[Spark]

Hahahahaha they put Handscomb there instead

 

[Starfighter]

Not Marsh = much more difficult catch taken.

He’s under cooked

Eh, it's more the jumping and backing away to leg thing. You'd say the same thing if you saw a kid doing it in school cricket.

 

[social]

Haze barely deserved a wicket even allowing for the pitch

 

[Scaly piscine]

And there we are, England well and truly pissed away a strong position after all the hard work yesterday.

 

[Adders]

The **** happened here this morning??? Im at work and when i last checked the scorecard we were 4 down and coasting. **** sakes.

 

[Cow]

England need to get Smith before close today. Aus tail starts around 5... but the top order has 2 superstars... especially in these conditions.

It was your absence which did it.

 

[Starfighter]

100 below par.

Probably a case of him being underdone. Looked OK today.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Slow, low, can't play your shots. Some turn.

Requires a lot of grafting and patience from bowl bowlers and batsmen. England just haven't kept their head on today. Too much #intent and they've thrown away the platform they had.

Why do they do this? I'm not asking for them to doctor pitches but a bit more of an attempt to at least avoid preparing wickets that actively hamper us would be nice.
