*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[dontcloseyoureyes]

What do you think of them? Top corner was better, right?

Way better. Turned it on today and laughed tbh. Looks ridiculous.

Review that IMO

Edit: Or not

 

[GIMH]

Broad bowling a good over here

 

[M0rphin3]

Give Swanneh an over b4 the close

 

[Neil Pickup]

Too. ****ing. Short.

Quite grateful to be spared Ch9 comms.

 

[Spark]

Broad's started decently enough. Anderson's looked poor though...

 

[Xuhaib]

How can Anderson hoop it so much in England and look so rubbish else wear.

Reckon Jimmeh has swung the ball less in this little spell than at almost any time in Tests in Eng this year

And also bowling low 80s. Really pedestrian stuff this on a pitch that is looking incredibly flat.

 

[GIMH]

Off to work.

Or am I?

Swanneh is having a go. Nice.

 

[M0rphin3]

Swanneh, this is interesting.

Dont think the pitch is flat all but he's certainly not doing anything to dispel the theory

 

[Spark]

Not a brilliant start from Swann.

 

[GIMH]

eeek

 

[M0rphin3]

2 in 2

 

[Athlai]

Pitch will dry out, Swann won't get the same amount of turn. Australia win by an innings.

Ahem.

 

[GIMH]

Now I really am going to work.

Australia's day but will be a good session tonight I reckon.

 

[social]

Eng just look really flat

Better turn up with a different attitude tomorrow or they'll be in all sorts

 

[Spark]

Good to see the umpires bending the rules slightly to get the full quota in though.

Pitch is quickening up in the sun, and I think it'll be reasonably close to its normal self tomorrow. Good chance of a big score from the top four here.

Fantastic day all up. Ebb and flow for two sessions, and an extended spell of sheer brilliance from an entirely unexpected direction.

 

[vcs]

Australia's day comfortably.
