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

[stephen]

I love Starc the batsman.

 

[Cabinet96]

That reminds me of the first ball I ever bowled in 2nd grade cricket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wtf haha

 

[91Jmay]

Ha, **** off Starc. He is a number 9 who can spank it, no more.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

And Lol again ?

 

[Cow]

Finally some good, positive cricket from the only side trying to compete here.

Good on you Starc

You need some almond milk, kid.

 

[91Jmay]

Pat Cummins needs to go early, better bat than Starc and really dangerous

 

[Cow]

Hahaha... give him chat Broady.

Delicious cricket

 

[stephen]

The non selection of Renshaw is costing us here. A Cowan at the beginning of the innings would have made all the difference here. Exposing the tail to the second new ball is awful.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I guess Australia aren't going to get 550-6 declared then.

 

[mr_mister]

Cummins should def bat above Starc

 

[91Jmay]

Starc’s problem is he is a fake tough guy. He is a soft character but because of the Neanderthal culture in parts of Australian cricket he thinks he has to chat to media when he is not like that and it impacts his game.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

I know the pitch isn't what was expected, but this really is compelling stuff.

Excellent insight.

 

[Cow]

Anderson bowling beautifully. Channeling his inner Cummins

 

[the big bambino]

That wicket of Marsh is how Broad tried to get him last night. Took an over to work out he was good to pop up a ball on the drive and gets him this morning. So far England’s bowlers manning up on certain batsmen working. Usman to Ali, Handscomb to Anderson and Marsh falling to Broad.

 

[mr_mister]

I agree. Warnes dumb advice ruined him

 

[91Jmay]

Shocking lack of intent from Australia, playing for the draw here shows the lack of character in their team.

 

[Spark]

In fairness, we said the exact same thing about Johnson. Proper softie off the field, and on it too until he got injured.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

FFS Jimmy has an obvious problem here. Great session for us otherwise.
