Pretty pathetic effort by the Poms.
Can not bowl out this awful batting line up in a full days play.

They should be thankful they are not playing a good test team or they would have been thrashed all over the ground.

The Poms should relish days like yesterday cause once our batting finds a spine again ( a few years away ) everything will get back to the norm and we will thrash 'em like the good old days.

Can't believe all the hate for Stuart broad just for not walking lol growing up I was always taught to wait till the umpire gives u out. Plenty of Aussies have not walked in the past.
Also I think the courier mail is starting to embarrass themselves with all "unnamed English medium pacer" talk and so on.

Our top 6 is still f**ked. They've literally got every part of it wrong. At least 3 of them shouldn't be there and the other 3 are batting in the wrong spots.

Wagging tails keep papering over the cracks.

Unlike some I won't call for anyone to get dropped while we still have a mathematical chance of winning but if we are 2-0 or 3-0 after 3 changes have to be made.

the top 6 could be worse.

It could include Bunny Hughes

Yeah this was the scorecard in the paper. I didn't realise anyone actually cared

Any batsman that walks is an idiot IMO. If the umpire incorrectly gives you out you can't stay so why walk if they give you not out?

You know what? 8 for 273 is almost a match winning score

The Gabba is Australia's Kings Landing

In many ways, if the top 5 got scores and the bottom 3 got ducks, what would people think then?

Haha at the Fail. Exactly right about walking I'm not moving an inch till I see the umpires finger in the air. Has a footballer over dropped the ball and stopped and tell the ref he dropped cause he missed it? Don't think so

Typical of the stupidity you see from the Courier Fail.

f**king media piss me off

apparently the Ashes are over now because we were shit on day 1

and apparently Clarke has to move back to No 5 and they rattle off all these stats on how many runs he has made at 4 and how many he has made at 5

fmd,

do they really think Broad is gonna come out and bowl crap at Clarke just because he is batting at 5 instead of 4 ?

Even England were struggling on Day 1 in 2010 and look what happened.

Not saying we could still win the series but thats the thing about test matches, things can change based on the conditions.

As for Clarke moving to 5, he can bat wherever he wants to bat, they seem to base everything on stats. He bats so well at 5, and they say "Oh he should bat at number 3 or 4" but if he fails at No 4, "Oh he should move back to 5".

The thing is Peter Siddle got a hattrick on day 1 and Australia was all rejoicing from that series

Even more so when they were leading by 300 after day 3 of the test match


Nobody remembers that

Clarke should bat at 3. f**k the stats. He should be mentally strong enough and he should take the responsibility of batting at 3.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Worst part of that test was I think England were 0 for 200 odd and they ended up 1 for 500 odd. And Marcus North I think was the only wicketer. :lol:

 

[Patorick]

Typical of the stupidity you see from the Courier Fail.

The could have at least called him Stuartini, or "the guy that looks like Ellyse Perry".

Be creative you crayolas.

 

[Patorick]

BTW, not a good sign when I'm looking at the weather forecast before play on Day Two.

Thanks got your input Ian Chappell.

 

[Xfactor1979]

So everyone is more happier if Australia was 2 for 450 after day 1?

Oh boo hoo

They still might win by 450 runs but there are so many pundits (every second clown) who beat it up and believe they got bowled out for 12 or something

Grow the f up!

Got Him!

NO TAIL WAGGING BY Shane Watson Sr!

Time to go Hadds.
