1st Test - Australia v New Zealand Brisbane Dec 1 - Dec 5 2011

[Patorick]

Kiwis session so far.

Nothing wrong with Dar. Rauf is up and down.

Hodge's time came and went.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

They're both shit umpires Rauf is just worse.

This bowling is just depressing, the future of Australian cricket on show and it's shithouse.

 

[Patorick]

Yeah, somewhat glad I'm at work and can't watch this.

 

[Patorick]

So far, anyway.

 

[Hallatia]

wicket, my mum saw the umpires looking at the ball and she was like what, changing the ball already? And I said mum it's the tenth over, and she was like "oh, Aussies are whingers" she came back in and saw that wicket and said "so it was the ball!"

 

[Patorick]

It's always the ball...

 

[madunit]

lol, Shit bowlers and a slow witted captain who refuses to set a field to defend the snot being bowled.

You cannot defend clarke again here, we are being smashed by Kiwi batsmen ffs.

going at near 5 an over in the first 10 overs of a test on home soil against NZ's batting.

The bowlers and the captain for Australia have started the summer in the worst possible way. No one here though has the balls to criticise Clarke's field placings because they were adamant Ponting was worse.

Look at it people, it's not a matter of better or worse, its a case that Clarke is no better or worse than Ponting as a captain. They are practically identical.

Can't believe Starc got a run ahead of Cutting.

Or that Pattinson was allowed to keep bowling after his first, second or third overs.

You want an umbrella field in the first 10 overs?

Pattinson was bowling half volleys from the second ball of the day, Siddle bowling 145 km/h down the leg side.

I want the captain to either take them off, or set a field accordingly.

It'd be better than leaking almost 5 runs an over.

Clarke's captaincy can't be defended, it's as bad as Ponting's and it has been blatantly evident from very early on.

 

[Hallatia]

my mum is not normal, she finally sat down to watch and she gave me this spiel about the Aussie team being filled with uggos, she said every other national team has good looking players except for Australia and then she saw Williamson, thought he was ugly and said he belonged in the Aussie team. Then she went on her anti-Tubby rant. She really dislikes Mark Taylor and thinks he adds nothing to commentary and doesn't understand how anyone can like him.

 

[Timbo]

How many full bungers has Starc sent down? And why is he bowling around the wicket?

Pattinson is bowling so much short and wide shit it's hard to believe he's played First Class, let alone test, cricket.

Siddle is actually looking good... or is it just that the other two are bowling so bad that it's making him look good?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

They're going at 3 and a half an over so go defensive already after 15 overs and take out the catching options and hope that the Kiwis miss straight balls or get run out?

Take them off and bowl who, Hussey? You can't go leaving fast bowlers out of the attack when they're all shit. It's overcast and the pitch has a tinge of green the problem is not field placings.

The bowling has been erratic and shithouse. Juicy half volleys and soft bouncers to McCullum are what's letting the team down.

 

[Gmac]

Fmd are we capable of producing bowlers that can hit a line and a length more the 2 balls and over..?

Don't mind this starc fellow.. He action doesn't look like a cat in a washing machine ala Johnson

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

That's always been the biggest issue with McCullum. Can take a game awa from the opposition, but can also find the softest way to get out.

 

[Leagueaddict]

Bugger the txt message Tubs- I'll take the wicket!

 

[Earl]

Starc gets a wicket with a long hop.

 

[Timbo]

Wow, we jinxed that to a Moffo-esque level.

Maybe if we keep bagging him he'll get more wickets?

 

[BunniesMan]

Starc gets the key wicket with his first ever!

And fmd some of you blokes are tough. We're judging players on their first career spells now? 2 of our 3 fast bowlers are on debut. If you expected us to dominate the first session you had rocks in your head.

I reckon taking out the openers in the first sesh considering the circumstances is a win for us.

You know it's bad for you lot when BM is the one talking sense.

It's been Australia's session so far.

She's right about Tubby's commentary, at least.
