Deck seems a lot less lively already.

Still lively enough, unfortunately.

EDIT: Wait, unless you're talking about the lack of carry, as opposed to movement?

 

[Redbacks]

I know 2 things, Ponting isn't getting a 100 and we are not winning this.

 

[Athlai]

That double ball effect was awesome!

Alright, I've seen enough. Count me a convert from hereon! Philander.

Yep.

 

[Sylvester]

Near replica of Cummins ball to AB without the edge.

 

[Spark]

**** me. this guy has the ball on a string

 

[Burgey]

Ridiculous from Hussey. Looks a walking outside edge here to some decent bowling.

TMSofa suggesting there a bit of Terry Alderman in Philander, does that sound about right?

 

[TumTum]

Might as well slog now, we are not going to bat normally to the target, it's too hard to score.

Not really, no. Did any of them ever see Alderman bowl?

It gets easier mate.

I'm actually wondering why we aren't this circumspect in the first morning of a test tbh

Pitch doesn't look as good as yesterday, keeping low and seaming more often.

Haha, doesn't surprise me. Was one bloke who's seen a lot of cricket but tends be wrong a fair bit. Thought it sounded dubious.

If these guys can juuuuuust get the target below 100 runs.

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust.

 

[Spark]

Man, look at that grouping for Philander.

If only we had a bowler around the squad capable of that sort of accuracy...

I see where they're coming from, tbh. Action isn't too far removed and he gets the ball to wobble then nip back like Clem. Doesn't get anywhere near as much conventional swing, though.
