1ST TEST: Australia v West Indies Brisbane Nov 26 - Nov 30 2009

[aussies1st]

Reaffirming why its good to have a batter that values his wicket at 6 and can make 100s.

 

[TheParraboy]

Haurie to the rescue, could get a 50 here I reckon

 

[Hallatia]

Haurie to the rescue, could get a 50 here I reckon

I hope not, because I don't want to hear that he is an all rounder, I hate how if an Aussie bowler can bat he starts getting called an all rounder I am thinking about the likes of Hopes now

 

[The Colonel]

Haurie to the rescue, could get a 50 here I reckon

Provided that the selectors don't use it as a justification of his value to the team, no problem...... the second he is being valued for his batting as opposed to his bowling he should be pissed off.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Is Hauri ball counting?

He has faced 50 of the last 62 balls according to cricinfo

 

[TheParraboy]

I hope not, because I don't want to hear that he is an all rounder, I hate how if an Aussie bowler can bat he starts getting called an all rounder I am thinking about the likes of Hopes now

Bat Hauritz at 6, piss off North cause he cant handle the short ball :crazy::crazy::crazy:

 

[aussies1st]

North out, looked caught between accelerating and defending.

 

[TheParraboy]

North appeared to want to get 41 singles to get to his ton

too conservative, paid the price

 

[TheParraboy]

8/453

wouldnt be suprised if we reach over 500

 

[aussies1st]

On North and the short ball, I'm sure I've seen him pull before so I don't know why he was letting it hit him.

 

[TheParraboy]

I think (to me) looked like he was very determiend and tentative in getting a ton, so decided to get there by proding and poking about in singles. He did 20 straight singles before he got out.

was pretty pissed off when he got out

 

[aussies1st]

That is when you get into problems, you need to just go out there and play your natural game.

 

[TheParraboy]

8/480

Haurie a well deserved 50, could he be the first centurion in this innings? :-k

 

[TheParraboy]

not sure we should have declared

maybe Punter wants to bat again and give Sunshine a chance to score some runs to secure his long term place in the side as an opener?

 

[lockyno1]

Haurie to the rescue! How hot did he look out there!

 

[skeepe]

I thought it was a great time for a declaration. Give them 15-20 minutes to sweat it out before tea.

 

[TheParraboy]

Gayle has every right to get out early, I wonder if he will just try and blast his way into a score

 

[Hallatia]

I thought it was a great time for a declaration. Give them 15-20 minutes to sweat it out before tea.

agree, but let's hope the Windies put up a bit of a fight, so we can have a game on our hands

 

[aussies1st]

Two boundaries already, our bowlers need to tighten up.

 

[aussies1st]

Oh Siddle, good ball, superb take by Haddin but no ball.
