Johnson with the new ball, this will be fun

 

[hineyrulz]

Shitchell opening the bowling :crazy: Hope the good one turns up

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Wonderful scrambled seam :lol: the ball will be a potato in 13 overs

 

[hineyrulz]

Great first over with the new rock, the batsman hasn't had to play a ball

 

[Horrie Is God]

There is definitely some swing there..That last ball of Johnson's over moved away from Smith..

 

[The Joker]

not before then because he won't come out til after lunch.

if it's a buffet then he'll still be having lunch until day 5

 

[yappy]

Kallis aswell Hoefully he doesn't go down the Shitcell path who did both of them

Junior telling it how it is re: Johnson. Junior should be chief selector

What did Junior say?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

What did Junior say?

He couldn't believe a test bowler can't bowl seam up and that he's pretty much useless in bowling friendly conditions because all he has is hitting the pitch hard and getting cutters.

One of them made the point it wasn't a good look that Watson is our best bowler aswell.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Interesting decision to select Cummins I would have thought. Only 18, has only played 3 FC games where he didn't do anything of note and away from home against the second best team in the world.

 

[Earl]

Disgraceful decision to leave out Trent Copeland.

With Johnson and Siddle as our leaders I get the feeling Nathan Lyon will have to bowl alot of overs, inevidably going for alot of runs and then the media will beat up saying Lyon needs to be dropped.

We have 3 "attacking" bowlers and an off spinner. There is no one to bowl a heap of maidens and build pressure.

Thank f**k this is the last match under the Andrew Hilditch rein of terror.

 

[Red Bear]

Well Cummins has at least shown he knows how to hold a cricket ball

It was even a worse decision to select the king Softcock in Johnson.

 

[aussies1st]

Shittle is back.

allan border "johnson has got better"

Poor AB , Dementure well and truly setting in

 

[Horrie Is God]

An extremely nervous Cummins,in his 4th First Class game & his 1st Test,is showing up the former ICC World Player of the Year..

Surely we are watching Johnson's last test??..

Surprisingly there have been a lot that have made their first class debut in a test. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/319772.html

 

[hineyrulz]

Can some tell me why this Pea heart is still anywhere near the test team????

 

[aussies1st]

Love your work selectors.

AB always has been Gentleman :lol:

Is Johnson the one with 3 FC matches and making his test debut as that fella at the other end looks like the 47 test match veteran.
