*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[adub]

It's kindergarten stuff really.

So a step up from the usual Murdoch rag dross

Hopefully Pietersen's moved close enough to off stump to nick one.

 

[Furball]

The Courier Mail is normally bad, but they've stooped to new lows with this. It's kindergarten stuff really.

What's the British equivalent?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Expected Harris to start better than this. Has been on the legs a bit too often for my liking.

 

[GIMH]

What's the British equivalent?

Reminds me of The S*n and some of their xenophobic front pages come Footy World Cup time

 

[Son Of Coco]

What's the British equivalent?

Good question, I haven't read the British papers for a while. At the moment, maybe The Sun. Although it's not usually quite that bad.

 

[GIMH]

Interesting to see Lyon on already. Lets hope we get a repeat of the treatment he got on day five at The Oval, in very similar circumstances

 

[Cabinet96]

Good first half hour. Siddle was particularly impressive.

In all honesty Johnson won't cause these two anywhere near the same problems he will the rest.

 

[Pothas]

Today is going to be great, I have just decided.

I am shattered but if I last the session then I can fill lunch with the FLS

Great shout. Not got 5 goals to look forward to like you but get to see if the Wolves keeper made as good a save as everyone has said.

The only reason the English tabloids aren't as ridiculous anymore is because we are* winning. They used to pile into Warne and his off field antics.

*were

"Siddle has got KP out 7 times!"

also Siddle has bowled in like 28 innings against England............

 

[DingDong]

I'm told our 4th is an ATG goal so might sneak a peek at drinks tbh

Nah don't, you'll shoot your load and fall asleep.

Going on what is in The Sun Herald today, Warner might have been thinking Trott does a bit too much talking for someone who isn't batting particularly well. Warner is quoted as saying, "I think he's got to get new sledges as well, because it's not working for him at the moment".

They seem to be missing from this thread as well.

Trott actually sledges? Really?

It's actually 9 times apparently. Pretty good result really. Prior's 10 times, but I don't think focusing on results against a mediocre batsman does anything for Siddle's legacy.
