*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[hendrix]

I love the words Siddle threw in at the end to Anderson. Spices this series up even further. And I loved that Clarke came to the defense of Bailey like that. I love Clarke for his tactics, but even his overall attitude and body language are fantastic

what did Siddle say?

 

[hendrix]

I did hear (Bailey?) say while Anderson was out there "...break your ****ing arm, mate"

 

[Hooksey]

Anderson was told they'd break his arm apparently.

 

[Spark]

what did Siddle say?

I think they turned off the stump mics after Clarke's moment but it looked colourful.

I did hear (Bailey?) say while Anderson was out there "...break your ****ing arm, mate"

Yeah that was Clarke (get ready for a broken ****ing arm). Glorious

reminder that entry to the SCG for tomorrow is free

 

[ajdude]

what did Siddle say?

there was "weak as piss" in there, not sure about the rest.

 

[Hooksey]

No point people getting all precious about the comment to Anderson that they'd break his arm. Much worse comments than that have been made during Tests matches.

 

[the big bambino]

Great; I was watching a show about cops pulling over stoned bogans. Up there with the abc crossing for a weather report when G Chappell was 98 on debut.

 

[hendrix]

Yeah that was Clarke (get ready for a broken ****ing arm). Glorious

Yeah, I thought that sounded like Clarke.

Dunno how he got away with going up to Anderson after that though. I think enough had been said by then.

Yeah it sounds bad but it shouldn't mean anything to an international cricketer. Get worse than that in club cricket.

 

[Spark]

Yeah, I thought that sounded like Clarke.

Dunno how he got away with going up to Anderson after that though. I think enough had been said by then.

Meh. It's not like he got especially personal with it.

 

[Hooksey]

Anyone that's played cricket at any level has heard worse comments on the field than "I'll break your arm". In lower grades of cricket that would be considered a very light weight sledge

 

[hendrix]

Meh. It's not like he got especially personal with it.

the whole pointing his finger in his face thing. Didn't have a problem with anything said before that but I thought that was after the umpires had stepped in so he kinda went around them, and it was between overs etc.

No biggie really, just seemed a bit risky being that he's the captain and all.

 

[social]

Very proud of Clarke and the rest of the team! That was a fantastic win. The plans were all executed beautifully and the bowlers were very disciplined for the most part.

Love seeing Anderson cop it. Strikes me as a guy who can dish it out but can't take it overly well.

Jimmeh has been dishing it out for years and deserves everything he cops

Notice how Oz didn't sledge Tremlett?

Jimmeh is a cut price McGrath whilst Tremmers is Dizzy

Oz picked their target

 

[the big bambino]

Could be that Oz are dusting off the Border 89 playbook and getting aggro as a tactic.

 

[karan316]

What a performance, magnificent by the Aussies. It'll be interesting to see what England will do in the next match, sure they'll try some new tactics.

@BrettLee_58: As soon as @TonyAbbottMHR took over Australia start winning in the cricket! A new era

Yessssss.

 

[Hooksey]

Time for a celebratory or 6

Very enjoyable day at the office.

Yessssss.

Every thing goes to **** when labour are in office. They are the natural party for national depression.
