Brownlie isn't Playing.

Ken Rutherford commentating whilst his son is batting, is that a first for test cricket?

Was just thinking that myself. He's always come across a good bloke Ken Rutherford, but really doesn't have a voice for commentary does he.

 

[Bahnz]

Love seeing that packed ground.

Still better than Francis Payne.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bit harsh making him do first up comms, at least leave him to 2nd stint as his lad may have a few by then if still in.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Tune in to the Aus India test if you want a whole team of people he's better than.

 

[GGG]

Gezzz what's going on with the run up.

 

[Flem274*]

Well that's a bit grim. Hope he's ok because I like his bowling.

 

[Adgey]

wow that isnt good

 

[WalkingWicket]

Stifled laughs go around the ground as Eranga goes down as well....

Hope he's OK though, doesn't look so good.

 

[Flem274*]

Dat replay. Ouch.

 

[Zinzan]

Tend to agree with Doully here, not sure you can blame the pitch for that one. More a case of poor footwear & terrible technique in landing the foot.

 

[Cabinet96]

Reckon he did his front foot worse there. Actually strained the ankle rather than just slipping. Not sure whether he'll be able to continue.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ouch, that looks real bad.

 

[Hurricane]

Groundsman will be quite concerned atm.

 

[Flem274*]

Imagine how many Australian fast bowlers would be out for 2 years if they did that.

Or 90s NZ bowlers.

 

[Cabinet96]

Why is the place where the back foot lands the grassiest bit of the wicket? Makes no sense.

 

[bill8164]

Ouch, to be fair that second one he just slipped, nothing to do with the ground itself.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not seen a start like this before.

 

[Athlai]

This is the best start ever. And I love Russel Arnold.

The grass is too long for the ****ing bowlers!

 

[Flem274*]

If our bowlers do the same we might know our World Cup squad before the test is over.
