**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[Qlder]

Can't let Kohli ton up here, it gives him too much confidence for the series imo

Yeah and unknown McSweeney may actually take his wkt like part-timers do

 

[SteveNZ]

The commentators are convinced a declaration is imminent.

Australian commentators are required in their contracts to say declaration at least a dozen times a day, even on the first day of Tests and selected one dayers.

Sport in Australia is so fake and scripted. This is about as real as State of Origin.

Indi-Aus-NZ conjoined as Ouroboros...shaped like the Human Centipede.

 

[SteveNZ]

Who gives a **** if Australia wouldn't want to bat tonight...they wouldn't want to bat for two days chasing 550+ either

 

[Zinzan]

Send the message out that he has 1 more over to get his ton. A lead of 513 is enough.

 

[Qlder]

Ideally they would want 10 overs at Australia tonight with probably 3 lost for the innings changeover, so I'd be declaring now.

Can still bowl 2 more overs to give 10 overs left (there's only 2 overs lost for changeover and 14 overs remaining)

 

[Skyliner]

A real festival atmosphere now. Marnus is the court jester.

 

[Nintendo]

Give carey a bowl and make marnus keep.

 

[Skyliner]

Pathetic negative bowling.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Such clean lines to Reddy's strokemaking. That's our number 8? Color me ****ing impressed.

Disagree, 10 overs after they've been in the field all day would be ideal, 524 is more than enough.

 

[King Kane]

Reddy batting better than Kohli.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

There really is a touch of early Dhoni about this lad. Looks better than a #8

 

[Daemon]

Look I don’t mind any combination that most sensible people have suggested. But Reddy should not play. He’s done absolutely **** all in the format, including looking terrible in the A series by getting bounced out 3 times.

Morkel must’ve seen him hit the unlucky length at practice a few times and jizzed or something. Hopefully they leave him out.

Daemon tasting it

Tastes of something low on the protein quality index

 

[Qlder]

Howzat, handled ball

Yeah, fair enough I forgot about fatigue of being on their feet. They win either way, mind you

 

[Skyliner]

Another ground grubber.

Get that dal in ffs. And don't forget your turmeric pills while you're at it.

 

[social]

Will Australia get 250?

Very doubtful

He was just the best option available.

A pace bowling AR just gives balance.
