*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Gilly Fan]

If we collapse here, it's definately Ponting's fault. Played a stupid shot, then gave England all the momentum. Hussey better be playing for his life here...

What else did you expect him to do? Leave it? He's always going to try and hit those balls, I don't get how it's a stupid shot. Trying to get it off the hip and simply didn't come off. Oh well, move on.

[Athlai]

Wanna bet? He'll be the worst of the three.

Yeah avatar on cricsim. I've lost this one for a while.

Broad to take most wickets of the three.

[irottev]

Haha worst call. Broad is going to have a far better summer than the other two.

Wanna bet? He'll be the worst of the three

[BoyBrumby]

Anderson starting to look tired.

Well down on pace in that over, yeah.

Having missed the opening session one thing that surprised me when i woke up was the lack of runs scored.Did we bowl well or was it poor batting by the Aussies?

Good tight bowling for the most part. Not hugely threatening for a lot of it but tight. Broad was good at that. Anderson's second spell was excellent.

[SirBloody Idiot]

Ohh ****

[Prince EWS]

I think he hit that.

First five overs were pretty ordinary, but after that they were very disciplined. Got slowly better as the session went on.

Yeah well I'm pissed off at the moment, so logic doesn't really prevail. Still played it badly though.

[SirBloody Idiot]

Can't give that.

[irottev]

Nothing on hotspot. I'd stick with the decision. Not out. Noise was when it had passed the bat

[Spark]

WTF? I didn't hear a thing!

Why are they saying he's hit the cover off it?

[Ausage]

I don't rate England's bowling that much in Australian conditions.

England all over Australia after lunch. I rate Finn and Anderson especially. Broad though's a ********.

Bit of revisionism in the space of 3 hours?

[BoyBrumby]

Interesting.

Not going to be overturned, sadly. Big noise tho.
