*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[Spark]

GF will be filthy with that. That's knocking leg out of the ground for sure

Clarke proves the short ball is nbd. Cook to prove he can get fully forward?

 

[Spikey]

Bailey living a charmed life

"Captain Courageous"

yes clarke has showed a lot of courage today

Haha, yeah, it's probably the only long innings he hasn't had his box smashed as well.

You know you're allowed to make other posts right?

 

[Spikey]

how is bailey still in

 

[Noppe]

Lyon better than Swann?!??

 

[Spikey]

Lloyd telling a nice story about Wes Hall giving Lloyd Norm O'Neil's bat and Warne and Slater are just awful

 

[centurymaker]

Why isn't it Tea now?

 

[Spark]

Wild slog that

 

[adub]

That is so not M Clarke

Great knock though

 

[morgieb]

Gun knock now. Assuming that'll be tea?

EDIT: Apparently not.

 

[Cabinet96]

Is Tea really being delayed because of that ten minute rain? Seems a bit excessive if so, although I guess it will help even out the sessions, as England's overrate has been duly poor.

 

[JontyPanesar]

Swann looked so happy.

 

[Cabinet96]

I don't care what happens next session, but can we please not just bowl Root and let Bailey stroll to fifty? Is it really too much to ask?

 

[Spikey]

how did he make so many runs

 

[Spark]

Well that is an odd way to get out

[Goughy]

This is fantastic. The bigger the chase, the bigger the glory. England to climb this Everest and KP to double ton up.

 

[Spikey]

bailey wasnt aware where his off-stump was imo

 

[NUFAN]

Yep true Spikey.

I really don't agree that the wicket of Bailey was a good thing for Australia. So much better having a batsman making runs than having Johnson and co. on the field.
