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

[Twizzle]

gee Head scores quick and he is so good to watch when in full flight but he is nerve-wracking when he is new at the crease

if he can just learn to leave early in his innings he will become a very consistent batsman cuz he was fortunate to get off the mark yesterday

Simon Tauffel is a cure for insomniazzzzzzz

Isha's clipped english accent affects the pleats of my pants

Don't act like you're not impressed.

Looking for some radio commentary options.

Triple M is no go because I saw a Facebook post from Day 1 with James Brayshaw commentating on the Rory Burns wicket, so...

Test Match Special from the BBC is geo blocked in Australia (for some reason), but a VPN can fix that.

Guerilla Cricket (formerly Test Match Sofa) is still around, and that is great.

Ian Chappell: "England need to get rid of the Australian batsmen quickly"

"Cummins can't be like how those selfish pricks Ian Botham and Steve Waugh was with the captaincy here".

Only the sixty seven millionth time the 1981 Headingly test has been brought up this year.

 

[hineyrulz]

Starc is a better option opening the bat than that potato Harris.

 

[hineyrulz]

Cop that Ranga.

 

[some11]

Stokes run up & action look f**ked.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

f**k off Hayden, christ what a gronk.

 

[Smug Panther]

We won't bat again. The only thing stopping 5-0 will be rain

 

[hineyrulz]

3 days in and the Poms already look like they are ready for the plane home.

 

[hineyrulz]

Wow Burns hung onto one.

 

[Bazal]

Damn.

Don't mind Starc going for that though, foot on the throat now we're miles ahead

Did Lyon take more than 75 seconds to get out there? Should be a free bowl at the stumps.

 

[Meth]

Pretty good innings from Starc. A very, very handy #9.

If Head gets out, both batsmen should walk off. Have a crack at England before lunch.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This could be over before stumps these poms look cooked.

Poms would miss the stumps and concede 4 byes
