*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[Primrose_D12]

Two main factors for this score after the first innings by each team I'd say is Joe Root's marvelous performance with the bat, and Mitchell Johnson's expensive bowling... 0/111 is nothing to write home about.

In fact unless he gets something like 6/45 in the second innings I imagine he'll be in the pub Sunday night chugging pints in an effort to forget about his performance.

Starc's hamstring is done. This could be like Perth 3rd innings in reverse.

 

[sledger]

haha is Vaughan on 9 these days?

 

[grecian]

Hes already under 30 for his career.

Okay, it was a facetious comment based on WPDavid saying Jimmeh would average over 30 in his career by the end of this series, after he didn't take a wicket for a few overs.

Yet in the end, just forget it.............

 

[GIMH]

Personally think we're way ahead. Oz five down, plenty behind and a taillender at the crease. Not to mention it should be easy to get rid of Lyon too

BOOM I'M HERE ALL WEEK

No way is 91jmay having all the damn glory

 

[Cabinet96]

Starc's hamstring is done. This could be like Perth 3rd innings in reverse.

Or hopefully Cook and Bell get tons like Warner and Clarke did 3rd innings at Brisbane.

Those 3rd innings happened a lot.

Almost like he's completely crap outside Aus. Almost.

Walked pretty well for a hamstring injury.

His last 3 series outside of Australia were good.

 

[sledger]

His last 3 series outside of Australia were good.

Yeah, against prank countries in Mickey Mouse series.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah, against prank countries.

Two of them were the #1 and #3 sides in the world....

 

[Primrose_D12]

I hardly get to watch him bowl outside of Australia... stupid time zones. (It's still 4:26 a.m. here)

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Almost like he's completely crap outside Aus. Almost.

He has always been diabolical over here apart from the time Headingley was quick and bouncy.

 

[sledger]

Just shows what a joke the rankings are. Besides, everyone knows that this is where the really pressure is. And again, he's back to being a pie chucker. Bloke is a fairweather player.

 

[Furball]

Lovely stuff. Nice to win the sweepstake as well.

NZ is #3. What series are you on about?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good to see Starc come on. Don't want to see anyone miss out through injury.

 

[GIMH]

Two of them were the #1 and #3 sides in the world....

think about who you are talking to

 

[morgieb]

NZ is #3? What series are you on about?

Pakistan overtook you with the win in Sri Lanka I think.

 

[duffer]

Almost like he's completely crap outside Aus. Almost.

Yeah, against prank countries in Mickey Mouse series.

Dude, you feuding with the Aussies now? Indians feeling left out now.
