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

[adub]

Will wait for the bowler to put it in his zone. Then will dispatch.

 

[Burgey]

No one trolls bowlers into bowling at their pads like a Smith. First Graeme, now Steve.

Like dat

 

[harsh.ag]

Will be fun to see TheBeard get Uzzy regardless of what else happens.

Gimme my internet points

 

[Tangles]

Smith is good but i don't want to watch his sort of ugly.

 

[Burgey]

Good plans & execution from England today. Anyone else think Shane Bond's been an influence in that respect? Was always an intelligent bowler, not just express.

I’m sure he is. Bayliss too. Worked a lot with the Aussie players. Plus, their two senior bowlers are pros and know how to execute the plans

 

[Zinzan]

I can't stand watching Smith bat. But credit to him, he's mentally as tough as they come these days. Steve Waugh levels of grit.

To be fair, I honestly don't think any of Smith, Root, Kohli or Williamson are particularly good on the eye. They're certainly not Mark Waugh, Martin Crowe or David Gower in terms of aesthetics, even if they are all ruthlessly efficient run-scoring machines.

 

[Burgey]

I find williamson pretty classical as a player tbh

 

[OverratedSanity]

Root's the worst of all as I objectively proved in this thread

[_Ed_]

Gotta review that.

EDIT: Or maybe they shouldn't have.

 

[Burgey]

Looked high and missing to me

 

[Starfighter]

Too far forward. Poor review.

Indeed, all well & good having the plans, but it's nothing without execution.

Edit.. Oooo that looks an interesting shout!

 

[Jarquis]

Poor review imo

Yeah Williamson is great to watch; there's just a real purity about it all.

I like watching Kohli too.

 

[Starfighter]

Make that terrible review.

 

[Burgey]

Remember in India when Darsh didn’t review that exact ball and it cost us the match?

 

[Zinzan]

Looked high and missing to me

Played.

 

[Cow]

Missing for me

 

[harsh.ag]

Horrendous review.

Anyways, Broad has sunburn level crimson.

 

[Cow]

Marsh is on borrowed time though... keep the fecking robot at the other end quiet and just keep chipping away at the other.
