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

[LeedsRhinos]

Aussie optimism lasted for about 4hrs then the realisation that they're going to be brutally dominated again has began to set in.

He bowls to the left
He bowls to the right
that Mitchell Johnson
his bowling is shite

 

[AlwaysGreen]

SuperNotch to the rescue!!!!!

Holy moly this is poor. Looks like such a good batting deck too

Its pretty humid though

Theres a bit of swing when its humid, apparently its only 26 degrees, but feels like 35

 

[jargan83]

Awful batting on what sounds like a great deck for batting

Here comes the Barmy Army's favourite player...

 

[hineyrulz]

This is as poor as a first day batting effort i can remember, the wicket is a belter and the bowlers are bowling tight without anything outrageous.

 

[Pete Cash]

We need 300 from the tail lol

 

[Hutty1986]

Johnson will fail miserably here. All out 160

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Mitchell Johnsons tache is as suspect as his bowling

 

[hineyrulz]

The last time we got beat at the Gabba we were rolled on a green top by the mighty Windies line up for 169. Scary to think what that line up would have done to theses pea hearts. This is a belter and the bowling has been steady as best.

Mate it doesn't even register to the guys running the show anymore, they've already said they keep their jobs even if we lose 5-0.

Why do the Poms chant that when he is batting?
Haven't the Inbred Army been able to come up with something more suitable?

 

[undertaker]

BUMBLE! Oh yeah! One of the best decisions Ch9 ever made. I'd have you in the commentary box over Brayshaw and Nicklearse any day of the year.

Sadly, due to the 3 commentators in the box, he isn't going to get much of a word in, especially being partnered with Warne and Slats.

 

[Timbo]

Could be worse. Remember the MCG last Ashes.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The bowling has been consistent without being devestating. Australian batsmen just can't help themselves, they seem compelled to put bat on every ball.

At least we have songs, you just have Aussie Aussie Aussie and ... is a wanka

 

[Xfactor1979]

This trivia stuff is bullshit. As if they remember who took the first wicket in 2006 when they wouldn't remember something that happened 5 minutes ago.

Channel 9 is a conservative station though

Its constant 20 to 1 series, trying to make people believe that yesterday was better, or what we know from the past is always better than what 'those punk kids' know

Meanwhile in Newtown...:sarcasm:

All out for 0. Most of the batsman died of fright.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Good fielding has put pressure on the batsman, lots of great stops in the ring.

 

[Hutty1986]

All out for 0. Most of the batsman died of fright.

We'd get rolled for 6 I reckon. Warner would uppercut a short ball for a maximum and then we'd hear how adventurous and exciting his shot-making is for the next 4 months.

Exactly.

Watson would've shat himself crazy facing Ambrose, Marshall and Walsh on a flat track, let alone a green top:lol:

Too bad we don't have a time-machine and transport Watson back in time to 1988/89. That would've been some real entertainment. He would've been channeling the legendary Glenn Trimble:lol: If this is what an aging Walsh, in the twilight of his career, could do to Mark Waugh - bowling only in the mid-120s - imagine what he would've done to Watson
