1st Ashes Test: Australia v England @ Gabba Dec 8-12, 2021

[mave]

Chapelli is on the ABC coverage - no mention of horse blankets yet

Still spent half an hour trying to convince us all that batting first was a great call by Root, because if they had bowled first, then their batsmen would be nervous watching the carnage.....and then proceed to bat poorly anyway

Imagine Warnie watching that first ball through semen encrusted eyelids. Doesn’t support his anti Starc narrative at all.

He is unbearable, first ball old mate gets bowled and all he can say is "he's missed a straight one", ffs.. at least give the bowler a bit of credit

Easily the worst commentator across the 2 networks

 

[TheParraboy]

The BOAT going for 400

He did miss a straight one

 

[TheParraboy]

Paddy must think this test cricket stuff is OK

*test captaincy

 

[blaza88z]

He did miss a straight one

Sure he did but you can't just ignore the bloke who bowled it after having a never ending grudge against him, it really makes him look like a twat

[Twizzle]

well lets ease the pressure off the soap dodgers and bring Lyon on

 

[Bazal]

Jeez not sure about bringing on a straight breaker first session when the balls doing things for the seamers...

 

[mave]

"Bill Lawry was Australia's greatest ever opener, because he knew where his stumps were".

Quality start to the summer from Chappelli.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Which unlucky bastard will be the BOAT'S 400th scalp?

 

[JJ]

Is Cameron Green a bowling option?

Used to be that if you took 400 wickets you were a great bowler...

Stokes

in the 3rd test

 

[mozza91]

Marnus seems like he genuinely enjoys fielding at short leg. f**king weirdo

 

[JJ]

I just noticed Wadey's not in the team, what a f**king joke

 

[Hutty1986]

Stokes

in the 3rd test

For 214

 

[Meth]

Yeah, I suppose they're trying to bring Green and Lyon into the game, but they were going really well with the 3-pronged attack bowling short spells. Maybe a bit impatient from Cummins

"Bill Lawry was Australia's greatest ever opener, because he knew where his stumps were".

Quality start to the summer from Chappelli.

No other batsman in history knew where his off peg was, not did they wear a horse blanket as well as William Morris Lawry

 

[JJ]

WTF is Cummins doing - the big three have only bowled 6-7 overs each...

 

[Bazal]

Marnus seems like he genuinely enjoys fielding at short leg. f**king weirdo

When your eyes are that f**ken close together short leg is a breeze...
