*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[TumTum]

This series has been truly wonderful so far.

 

[Ruckus]

Perfect session for Australian fans, exciting, but going our way. Really hoping Mitch bats well today.

Hoping he won't have to!

 

[NUFAN]

Who was it that said Haddin is one-dimensional? Great to see the call was proven wrong straight away.

 

[irottev]

So it took till lunch on the third day of the Ashes for every Pom to abandon their team. ITSTL

What kind of loser abandons their side when they're going bad.

 

[kingpin]

Ahh.... trolling......

Absolutely gutted for the lads, bowled absolutely beautifully this morning, looked a different class to the Aussies.

The Aussies have been pretty lucky so far, it can't last for ever.

You mean Anderson bowled well. No one else has

haha I'm pretty sure you know that was me. Been proven wrong by both Hussey and Haddin today tbh, and couldn't be happier.

Broad's bowled well without too much luck.

Na I think all their fast bowlers have looked better than ours (bar Siddle). Been way more consistent with their lines.

Broad and Finn have beaten the bat at least a dozen times, i've watched alot of cricket and not seen a batting side with as much luck as this.

Trying not to be ungrachious or anything, it's cricket and that's how it goes at times, but it's pretty tough to take.

Might sig this.

Actually the most annoying thing is that with a couple of wickets this morning and the rest this afternoon Aus would have had a lead of about 50, setting up a cracking match.

Now it'll be a question of what England can do to save the test.

 

[hazsa19]

if i wasn't laughing I would cry, what a joke

 

[Athlai]

Utterly dominating now.

Does this mean that our batsmen have looked far better than theirs (bar North)

Blame Strauss for using up the referals.

I'm not that impressed with Finn, I think Tremlett looked superb in the A match and the fact that he's a better batsman also will make it easier for him to replace Finn.

Edit - Finn has potential but I just think at this stage of their careers playing in Oz Tremlett is the better option.

Tim who?
