*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[social]

Been watching too much of Dhoni

 

[vcs]

Makes MS Dhoni look like the most attacking captain of all time.

 

[Jayzamann]

Drop and run, anything forward of square with soft hands, the bowler has to field himself.

 

[wpdavid]

WTF is with the field???

Apparently they're terrified of Bell.

 

[Spark]

Bloody ridiculous. He's just as likely to get a wicket with Bell slogging him.

Yeah exactly. Encourage Bell to have a wild slog, it's exactly what we need

 

[joels344]

I'm more terrified of Mitchell Johnson's crappy bowling.

 

[Burgey]

Seiously, come around the wicket and bounce the **** out of Anderson here.

 

[M0rphin3]

Oh FFS.

 

[Spudsy2061]

Makes MS Dhoni look like the most attacking captain of all time.

I was quite tickled at this.

 

[M0rphin3]

Punter WAC

 

[Spark]

Far out Ponting, what the **** is this

Don't let him settle

 

[tooextracool]

Could someone explain to me why Johnson is bowling at the moment?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Its such an absurd tactic and I've never seen it work. They'll rack up 300 from here.

 

[andyc]

You've got a bloke with his tail up, having just taking 6 wickets including a hattrick, and you've got one slip and the rest of the team apparently on the ****ing fence!??? GTFO you idiot. If it was a proper batsman at the other end they'd still be trying to get Bell out; why is it any different just because the bloke down the other end is Jimmy? Makes no sense why captains use this tactic, especially given how badly it's backfired in recent games.

 

[joels344]

Could someone explain to me why Johnson is bowling at the moment?

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[Adamc]

****'s sake. Don't ****ing waste the review you idiots - yes it's missing off and leg but it's also smashing the middle of middle.

I have been up all night to watch this and yes, Siddle's bowled well, but we're pissing it all up the wall right about now. Starts, failures to convert, inability to keep bat straight, and now ****ing hiding from a passing shower.

Nah **** off, no team in the world could possibly lose fewer than seven wickets in a session against such magnificent bowling.

 

[M0rphin3]

Good job, mitchy. A full over against Anderson hopefully.

 

[GIMH]

Nah, **** off, no team in the world could possibly lose fewer than seven wickets in a session against such magnificent bowling.

 

[Spark]

Yeah and Peter Siddle should know more than most that this doesn't really work

EDIT: At least Siddle is doing the right thing with his bowling and trying to make the field irrelevant

 

[GIMH]

Great running
