Australia vs England: 1st Ashes Test in Brisbane Nov 25-29

[Panther_Daz]

Very good batting by Strauss and Cook. They are just waiting on the bad ball and putting them away. Mixing that in with some 1's and 2's.

Big test for Australia here as they have struggled to close out games over the past couple of years.

Good fight back from England,they have easily been the better team in this match,can't do much when the other team is showered with love and luck from God.

Time for someone to step up...

 

[Ice Ice Brady]

This is concerning.

 

[Twizzle]

why are we feeding Strauss's cut shot ?

 

[Panther_Daz]

If England are 0 fa at Lunch the Ponting panic will start to come into it and his fields and bowling changes will start going crazy.

:lol: I said something similar five minutes ago...you would think that with the 53 coaches we have, this would have come up when disecting the plan sheet titled "Where not to bowl to Strauss".

It is not planned. Just poor bowling.

Watson has been pretty average so far, lots of short and wide stuff. Need to pitch it up.

He'll bring katich on for a few overs. We really need a wicket this session.

Captain Obvious much Daz? :lol: Thanks for enlightening us.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Australia have nothing without luck

His point is that no matter how much you tell Notch and co to not bowl to those cut shots, they still will.

Sometimes people who cut in the air are fed short wide stuff in hope to get caught in the gully/point region. Strauss got out there in the First Innings.

Teams used to always do it to Jayasuriya. NZ did it to Martyn at one point too.

So your assuming others weren't aware. No worries.

It was tongue in cheek, no need for justification mate albeit your spot on.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Typical Johnson spell here, spraying them everywhere.

The good ball is coming with a wicket shortly

Siddle back, wickets to tumble

 

[Patorick]

Looks like these two will bat all day.

 

[Twizzle]

bowlers at this level should have a bit more control

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Australia are hopeless
