Heavyweight showdown of Tim Paine & Shaun Marsh v Craig Overton & James Vince

Neil S, Thursday, 16 November 2017 14:11 (eight years ago)

Stoneman scored a hundred in the warm up last night. I BELIEVE

Hero Moeen presides above all, plotting his various 70-ball hundreds and torture of Australia's middle order

imago, Thursday, 16 November 2017 14:17 (eight years ago)

fwiw I'm actually more concerned about Hazlewood than Starc

imago, Thursday, 16 November 2017 14:18 (eight years ago)

Cummins doesn't look too bad either. Amazing he's never played a test in Australia. I guess for Oz it's about keeping them on the park.

Neil S, Thursday, 16 November 2017 14:19 (eight years ago)

Cummins is the kind of bowler that a really class batsman could destroy IMO

imago, Thursday, 16 November 2017 14:21 (eight years ago)

Hazlewood is McGrath 2: Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Forward On Off Stump

imago, Thursday, 16 November 2017 14:22 (eight years ago)

Hazlewood will get the top order, Starc will blow away the tail. Starc averages about 3 against 9, 10 and Jack

JLB Credit (Jack BS), Thursday, 16 November 2017 14:31 (eight years ago)

Starc got two hat tricks in the same game for NSW recently

ARE YOU READY???

Neil S, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 09:12 (eight years ago)

let's smash this 'starc' chap all over brisbane imo

dear fuck am I truly going to have to listen to michael vaughan for the next two months

imago, Thursday, 23 November 2017 00:06 (eight years ago)

and when not him, swann ffs

imago, Thursday, 23 November 2017 00:30 (eight years ago)

Vince looks like the best player in the world. He'll flash one to second slip in a minute

imago, Thursday, 23 November 2017 00:37 (eight years ago)

not yet! Vince dropped by Paine, it's a pity he's a Tim

Neil S, Thursday, 23 November 2017 05:56 (eight years ago)

good game this. Moeen to bowl England to victory day 4?

Neil S, Thursday, 23 November 2017 08:29 (eight years ago)

^^^ gigantic hostage to fortune

Neil S, Thursday, 23 November 2017 08:30 (eight years ago)

A strange scorecard, doesn't the team batting first at the gabba traditionally end the day on about 800 for 2?

But doctor, I am Camille Paglia (Bananaman Begins), Thursday, 23 November 2017 08:59 (eight years ago)

slow-ish pitch, lush outfield from what I saw this morning. The draw is a possibility, there's more weather about apparently

Neil S, Thursday, 23 November 2017 09:12 (eight years ago)

it's gonna be a draw (which is gonna be a win for england) because brisbane is a tropical hellhole

Shitpost in Opposition (King Boy Pato), Thursday, 23 November 2017 12:18 (eight years ago)

the most important thing is that australia will still win the series and we'll have a parade for nathan gazza the goat lyon

Shitpost in Opposition (King Boy Pato), Thursday, 23 November 2017 12:19 (eight years ago)

greatest living Aussie is Gaz

Neil S, Thursday, 23 November 2017 12:35 (eight years ago)

how's it feel to have your batting line-up at the mercy of Moeen

imago, Friday, 24 November 2017 03:48 (eight years ago)

The general opinion in the office has been that England had no business bringing a spinner like Moeen to Australia, I'm very happy they're starting to be proven wrong.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 24 November 2017 04:32 (eight years ago)

Mind you, should have picked Crane in this Test instead of Ball. Yeah I know Ball got Warner out (not through any good bowling), but a leggie here would be so useful...

imago, Friday, 24 November 2017 07:52 (eight years ago)

difficult to predict that the Gabba pitch would turn from lunchtime on day one I guess. Another good day today!

Neil S, Friday, 24 November 2017 08:31 (eight years ago)

otm, great start to the series.

Nathan Lyon destroying this England innings could very well make my top ten 'lol england' moments.

you couldn't lose this from 220 ahead now could you

England to win by "dinner" tomorrow, calling it now

Thomas NAGL (Neil S), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 08:46 (eight years ago)

No more wickets before close and I make us favourites

yes....but at least Root abides

yeah i feel like they've moved one or two notches up from abject

Illegal Ethiopian Dance Music (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 10:58 (eight years ago)

I like sending in Woakes as nightwatchman - he's talented enough to bat 6 regardless

imago, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 11:00 (eight years ago)

yeah if he and Root can put on 50 tomorrow morning... it's the hope that kills you

Thomas NAGL (Neil S), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 11:15 (eight years ago)

and Moeen still to bat...yeah best not think like this

Illegal Ethiopian Dance Music (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 11:17 (eight years ago)

That wasn't worth being awake early for.

Good to see we can manage 35 runs for the last 6 wickets.

That's presumably the last time we ever play four rfm bowlers in Australia

Question wisdom of playing in australia full stop

But doctor, I am Camille Paglia (Bananaman Begins), Saturday, 16 December 2017 09:52 (eight years ago)

tbh I'm glad those Irish and Afghan blokes are getting a chance, would be good to play against quality bowling for a change
