50/50 IMO. Rain affected match with more to come, can certainly understand wanting to bowl first. Pitch looks quite dry, but the ball is doing something. Get the most you can out of it early, bat before it starts to turn and then try and roll them when it turns.

Probably would have been a decent toss to lose actually. Lol

This looks a slow dry pitch, Lyon got 9 for last match. I can see the reasoning why we sent them in but looking at the deck it's been a wrong one.

 

[hineyrulz]

13 off 5 balls lol. f**king trundler.

No sids looks like it wasn’t the side of the wicket you were blowing froms fault.. you’re shit either way..

 

[jargan83]

Let’s pick Siddle because he keeps it tight.

Said no one ever

 

[AlwaysGreen]

One of the best none fors you'll ever see coming up for ploddmiester Pete

 

[blaza88z]

Good start this from Siddle, f**k me, imagine dealing with 2 of the better bowlers in world cricket and then have Peter Siddle coming at you

 

[hineyrulz]

...and Siddle releases all that pressure in just two deliveries...

Fmd, he blows chunks...

*Langer.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol instead of blaming the dogshit victorian for bowling absolute rubbish, Warne uses the over as ammo for his already-tiresome whinge about us making the decision to bowl

 

[Dave's mate]

Haze get on my dick!!!!!!!

 

[Eelectrica]

Bye bye Root great bowling Hazlewood.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Want to relieve the pressure a little?

Just throw the ball to Peter Siddle.

Or was he just pulling England in for a Hazelwood sucker punch?

 

[mozza91]

Onya Haze! Gotta make up for Shittle.

 

[jargan83]

Hazlegood

 

[King hit]

hazelwood

 

[Hutty1986]

Outstanding Haze, big wicket!

 

[Bazal]

Hazelwood, Hazelwood, does whatever Banaman can't...

What a stud

 

[Slackboy72]

Good start but the wicket looks placid.

 

[blaza88z]

Bowling isn't a bad decision, what's the worst thing that can happen? they bat 5 sessions and score 450+, we'd still have to get bowled out twice in 2 and a half days

I think it's an aggressive decision and sends a clear message to the English team, we're here to win
