Jaques bowled by Edwards for 2. Great start to the season.

 

[Nate]

Cheers. Jaques! I put so much faith in you...

 

[Hoggy31]

Haha, Gayle comes on in the 8th over and gets cracked for 2 fours. Great bowling change.

 

[Nate]

I don`t doubt Katich`s ability to hit a few fours occasionally. But he never turns the strike over. Frustrating to watch.

 

[Hoggy31]

Punter still looks to be in ominous form.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

What the hell was the point of bringing Gayle on? The pitch is seaming around, Edwards has an early wicket, Taylor yet to bowl and the ball is 7 overs old... and Lara brings on a part-time spinner. Ridiculous.

 

[Hoggy31]

Only sense I can see in it is the fact that Ponting struggles against spin early in his innings, but you can hardly call Gayle a spinner.

 

[Nate]

I dunno, Katich played out a maiden. Must be really doing things this Gayle.

Hayden, someone. Stand-up.

 

[aussie]

What is with Lara's bowling chances geez..

 

[Hoggy31]

Who's this Jerome Taylor, never seen him before in my life.

 

[Nate]

@ bringing on Smith. Taylor must be ANGRY.

That's why it is ridiculous when people claim that he is a good "anchor" for Gilchrist & co.

Jaques won't be getting many opportunities so he has to make the most of them when he does. Today, not good

Absolutely gun young pacer, not one of the quickest, but moves it a lot off the seam and bit in the air. Also gets some nice bounce. Very promising.

Agreed completely. Really wanted Jaques to do well, but he played a dreadful stroke to a jaffer.

Agreed that a seamer should be on, but in what way is Gayle a part-time spinner?

 

[aussie]

Ha, Ponting just picking up from last summer

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Agreed completely. Really wanted Jaques to do well, but he played a dreadful stroke to a jaffer.

If it was a jaffa, it hardly matters what stroke he played really.

Don`t take out your ***ual frustrations on me Camps.

He could`ve played it better, but fair enough, wasn`t much he could do.
