Two headed Tim has paid tribute to him with his reviews this series.

Can you imagine bowling first on this pitch when you've won the toss

It's up there with Nasser's decision to put us in at the Gabba...

f**k me what an absolute spastic. Some AFL merkin must be teaching these pricks how to catch

Warner will be there instead of Paterson and Marsh will be there instead of Pucovski.
Also Paine will be in the team until he wants to retire.

Probably on Warner, but I’m not sure about Marsh. They only played him here because they had to, he’s no lock for Brisbane.

Paine should be dropped. Very ordinary player & captain.

 

[hineyrulz]

So would he.

Khawaja has had plenty of chances. He is not good enough, unfortunately.

He's Brian Lara compared to some of the plodders ahead of him.

 

[Sphagnum]

Smudger wasn't actually batting that well. Still got 80.

What about marsh hooking one straight down fine legs throat when we were in deep shit. Don't have to look far to work out why the while country hates you, merkin.

What was the shot of the old lady flanked by two old bald blokes?

Haynetrain at a pommy key party

 

[Canard]

Time to move on from Steve Smith, his form is slipping....

 

[Eelectrica]

Time to move on from Steve Smith, his form is slipping....

Replace him with Ashton Agar this summer.

The gnome is just itching to replace him with a Western Australian.

Hey it was 3am, we were all drunk on pre mix vodka and raspberry

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'll be reserving judgement on Archer till he gets wickets against teams with decent batting lineups

Do you have a time machine? Because there aren't any decent Test batting line ups anymore.

 

[Mr Spock!]

The boys have been on the turps after the last test.

The way paines playing and his decision making, I think he's still drunk.

India just smashed our vaunted bowling attack with tactics like bowling short on the first day to get them to 3-854

increase in eels and raiders fans?

I think we need to be chasing something under 250 to have a good chance of winning, 300 may be ok if the deck doesn't posses demons and one of the openers get going. No brainer poms will look to bat all day today and well into tomorrow. Will need Mitch Marsh heroics again...

Match evenly poised for mine....

Evenly poised? Very optimistic.

I’d say they’re clearly in front. 70/30 their way.
