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

[Horrie Is God]

This is classic..

Sidds has been sent in to take the long handle..

 

[Dutchy]

Send out rhino for the tonk.

Get as many fast runs as possible then dec once Mr Slave has his 50.

 

[hineyrulz]

He's the best option but the way Crappelli and Warne go on your think he was Tubby Taylor, Richie Benuad, Lindsay Hassett and Tugga Waugh rolled into one.

It's no great feat to beat Sri Lanka and the West Indies.

But we did beat Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka and drew with a very good Saffa side. His man management needs some work but i think Boof has been a great help to him. Tactically i think he is very good, plus his batting has been exceptional since he has taken over. Cook is fine when he is on top and he only has to use Plan A, but once he needs a plan B or C he struggles. A bit Ponting like.

I'm not saying he's the worst but a lot of jizz gets spilled over him doing fairly standard things.

Yep..agree..

Boof is a good enough bloke to keep the sheds a happy place..

Maybe he looks like a genius after taking over from Captain Clueless???

 

[AlwaysGreen]

That was pointless. Or genius captaincy?

What is Clarke DOING?

We're going to LOSE this match!!!

 

[hineyrulz]

Pup calls them in, about 15 overs left. Some clever Merkin did say he would have around an hour at them...........

 

[Dutchy]

Warm up the shoulders Rhino.

Your turn.

England are certs, BM said so. And he's never wrong :lol:

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Let's see if this declaration will pay off. Bunnies man would have declared at tea on day 5

You work with the tools you're given. His work with them has been mediocre.

:roll:

Lmao

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This is almost exact scenario as the last Brisbane ashes test. The difference here is that Cook isn't in that good a form.

Yes I said 550-600, but a solid declaration

 

[hineyrulz]

Didn't expect us to score at nearly 5 an over all day. Poms just gave up, great to see

 

[Armageddon.]

Would have liked to wait for Johnson to get 50. One in each innings for him would be fantastic

I'm not sure if they gave up, I think Cook reigned them in once they realised they weren't going to dismiss them.

Tremlett is 8'6" and bowls about as fast as Chris Harris. Finn for Adelaide.

 

[TheParraboy]

poms need 561 to win

They will be playing for the draw :lol:
