turns out cowan likes the pull shot

 

[Ruckus]

haha what a moment. Good ****.

 

[Burgey]

Wow, what a ****ing **** you are Burgey. Saw your post and thought I missed his ton. Lunch not finished yet.

Actually mate, being Monday I'm at a belated birthday lunch at Felix in my honour. Enjoy your pre-packed sandwich, underling.

you know. cowan started off horribly last season, and on the day roebuck died, scored a ton (or maybe it was 90 odd.) that started his run to the test team. he started off horribly this season, and on the one year anniversary of roebuck's death, scores a ton

 

[NUFAN]

Superb work from Cowan really pleased for him, even though I haven't been one of his main supporters.

 

[Burgey]

Eddie. Wafg.

Wow that's such a fitting moment, I didn't realize it was a year ago, no wonder he was emotional.

EDIT - I haven't listened to ABC Radio, have they mentioned Roebuck much?

 

[Ruckus]

piling on the runs now

 

[Spikey]

has there been a c9 broadcaster sitting next to cowan's wife every time he's played a test in australia just waiting to talk to her in case cowan scores a ton

I've actually been more impressed with his cutting this innings. The pull is obviously his go-to shot but he was a fierce cutter and back foot driver of the ball in his youth in New South Wales, but it got him out a fair bit so he put it all away in his second coming as a state cricketer for Tasmania. Really good sign to see him bring out some off side play successfully at this level; when he was raved about as a young bat in Sydney, that was why.

dunno know. saw his name mentioned in some tweets about the time play started though


oh and in case anyone didn't know, roebuck coached cowan when he was younger

I'd probably make up excuses to sit next to Ed Cowan's wife too tbf.

Must be a great birthday lunch if you're posting in this thread.

You weird ****.

I see the "Ed Cowan tonned up" alarm is working well at the Gabba.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Most of CW didn't have a problem with the Gabba in 2010 so they must have no problem with this wicket?

Didn't they? To be fair I didn't see much of the Sat/Sun of that game as was playing, but thought it looked ordinary whenever I was watching. Polished glass.

Funnily enough, seems to only be when Australia plays a non-drawcard team that there is anything in the wicket at the Gabba. NZ keep coming across seamers up there.

 

[Spikey]

clarkeh rightly willing to sacrifice cowan

Haha yeah I was thinking that yesterday. I'd like to think it's a coincidence or at least a cricket-based tactic; I'd hate to think it was a CA directive to prepare roads specifically to ensure five days of cricket against (only) drawcard teams..

 

[Prince EWS]

Nicholas, that commentary was so, so bad. You're not a cheerleader. Hang your head in shame.

QantasWallabies can **** right off with their congratulations
