1st Test: Australia v England at Brisbane Nov 21-25, 2013

[Horrie Is God]

Pup has got to take the Tugger Waugh approach to the short ball..

Just let them hit him..

Problem is Clarke with his dodgy back is struggling to evade the quick stuff. He doesn't to be moving against the short stuff like he used too.

The thing is even though Stuart Broad is a military medium pacer, he bowls it in places where Clarke doesnt prefer. Clarke prefers Dale Steyn

Seriously, given how fragile our battling line-up is, the Aussies should be allowed a concession to ask Michael Hussey to get out of the Ch9 commentary box and be subbed into the batting line-up in favour of Mitchell Johnson. Hussey would leave the likes of Watson to shame.

That medium pace bowler is destroying you

Steyn is shorter and skids on more, but the steepling bounce of Broad worries Clarke more especially with his crook back. He is struggling to play or evade the ball.

And like I said about my point re:Watson, he's not get any younger (will also be 33 next year). I see the point you're getting at with the bolded bit, and good bowling line-ups like the Poms and South Africans (whom we tour after this summer) will be paying very close attention to this.

The thing was, Clarke scored back to back doubles against the Saffas and Australia didnt win either match

^ But thats cricket for you

 

[LeedsRhinos]

How bad are Australia?

Lets just fast forward to England lifting the Urn, save everyone a few months.

 

[undertaker]

oh no!

 

[LeedsRhinos]

4 FOR BROAD LOL

that treatment is working real well

 

[_snafu_]

Useless.

 

[undertaker]

Come on Bailey! Need you to replicate that form from the ODI series vs India.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Jesus f**k we are bad.

 

[Timbo]

We're boned.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Can I unleash David warner (joe root style) on leeds rhinos?

It would be entertaining

 

[hineyrulz]

Poor shot, he was batting so well. Heres super George to the rescue.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

ITS ALREADY OVER

 

[hineyrulz]

Woo Hoo!! Bailey ton coming up.

 

[jargan83]

Pretty lazy shot by Mr Teeny

A soft Watson dismissal at the wrong time has badly hurt us again.

He is not a top order player time and time again he has wasted good starts when the team is going well.
