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

He's got to be a masterful troll

It's not masterful people have been saying nonsense for a reaction since the dawn of time. It's boring.

His opinion on Cooks captaincy after this terrible effort is as transparent as his geniused Hughes love. The clown really has worn out his welcome

How many Ashes has he won? How many close tests have they won under him? How many tests have they managed to salvage a draw despite being outplayed for the majority of the test? It happened the last time they were here and it happened earlier this year.

The closest games are not decided on talent alone. Captains making the right decisions at the right times often play a massive role.

Cook realises this is a 5 day game. Too often Clarke has to win or lose in 3 and a half days.

They won and avoided losses in too many close games in the previous summer for it to be just about talent imbalances. Close games that can finish either way are where captains shine or crumble. He shined more often than not.

More to do with the talent of the players. Which players stood up when the game was on the line. That is a true measure of class

Is Candy Falzon the saviour of Australian Cricket??..

She's just passing on what SBW gave her..

Do ya reckon she met Mr Teeny at the Cloey Hotel??..

If you honestly think Cook is a better skipper than Clarke you are a bigger clueless spastic than i thought imaginable BM. Cook has been totally out captained this while test. His work after they had Australia 6 down was terribly negative and went a long way to get Australia back in the game,

 

[Meth]

Clarke's captaincy has been superb in this match.

1-0 for this series, no question.

 

[BunniesMan]

What a downgrade from SBW to Warner. Like going from a Victorias Secret model to some bogan chick.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Leading by a monkey..

500 Lead at the Gabba

I can be as arrogant as I want

 

[Xfactor1979]

Bullplop

All australia has to do is play at the gabba and they'll win in their sleep

Did I ever say that Cook never made mistakes? Yes he f**ked up day 1. But over a number of years he has got a lot more right than wrong.

1-0 for this series, no question.

It is day 3. This test is far from over.

 

[Xfactor1979]

We need to piss on the gabba to say nobody plays here but us

Woo!

You're right. I can see England getting up from here.

 

[some11]

Geez they talk some shit.

Warner is a chooks fan. Makes sense tbh lol

Johnson and Siddle pies are the only worry

Over a number of years??? He has only been Pommy skipper for a little over 12 months, you continually make yourself look like a genius. He's a very average negative captain of a pretty good cricket team. Clarke is tactically the best skipper in world cricket by a country mile. He took over a terrible side in transition from Ponting and he has done a great job so far imo.

Well Watto hasn't exerted himself too much batting maybe he can bowl a few overs if needed.
