Nov 25-29: 1st Test: Australia v England at Brisbane

[The Spin]

It isn't swinging much. Darn.

A wicket right now is what is required, getting pretty urgent as this opening partnership keeps growing.

 

[Themer]

Anderson's bowled really well after coming back on this morning, even though its not been swinging. Need to get another quick two to really drag ourselves back into this game.

 

[Manly]

Bringing Swanny on wouldn't be the worst decision ever.

 

[Themer]

Swanny should be on one end here while the seamers rotate at the other in my opinion as well. Anderson's been gun since his first spell here.

 

[Manly]

I for one am hoping for a quick sprinkler.

 

[TumTum]

I for one am hoping for a quick sprinkler.

No rain near Brisbane.

 

[RoboRocks]

Australia are showing how good for batting this pitch is.

This is the real test for the bowlers now. The pitch is flat and the batting is good, so we'll see today how good they really are.

 

[Themer]

Get in. Brucie Bonus that to get Ponting of all people strangled down the legside, game back on.

 

[angryangy]

Maybe a bonus in that fashion, but certainly not a surprise to see Ponting get himself out.

 

[Themer]

What a catch, especially for someone who's 6 foot 7. England are swarming all over Australia here, poor shot by Katich though.

150 all out tbh.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

78/0 to 100/3

And Hussey nicks his first just short of the slips. Swanneh so nearly got it.

ZoraxDoom added 2 Minutes and 49 Seconds later...

Jaffa from Finn.


I'm loving this.

 

[angryangy]

Moment of truth for Hussey. Can't afford a soft innings here.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Woah.

Finn's throwing himself around here.

England are on fire. Seems like they can take a wicket with every ball. Clarke not off the strike yet.

ZoraxDoom added 0 Minutes and 58 Seconds later...

GONE! GONE! RAISE THE FINGER DAR!!

Review time!

 

[angryangy]

England out of reviews. Time to play dirty.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Nothing on Hotspot!

Huge sound passing the bat. No pad.

Not out. Drama.
