    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    This is going to be in an interesting series for Cook. Australia know where to bowl to him, and it doesn't look like the gap between the two teams is so much that defensive captaincy will suffice. May not be so universally loved by the pom media by the end of this tour

    Who exactly do you think is captaining this English side?

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    It's not dried out as much as everyone anticipated. Lyon's getting some grip, the ball is really bouncing when banged in, more than what one might expect on a dry Gabba pitch. By a good bit of moisture I don't mean damp or anything crazy

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    Not really. It's not like totally terrible shots were played to take wickets.. Weaknesses were simply exposed. There's a good bit of moisture in the pitch because of the humidity, so I think more than anything else, the pitch report was most off. But the bowling execution from both sides has...

    Reminds me of how the first and second day of the Eng-SA series went. Hoping the result is the same

    Moisture I think. A different sort of bounce when banged in. If it remains this humid though, there will always be something in it.

    So when does the Pom media turn on Cook for being so defensive and taking his foot off the pedal at 6/132? Or must disdain for attacking cricket (calling it antiquated and gimmicky) continue as long as Warne opens his mouth?

    I love Boycs but he's talking like an ass about KP again...and as he finishes his point, my connection is cut cuz I'm from Murica.

    I thought it was only Indian batsmen who would chase Johnson's wide outswingers...:)

    Where's umpire SK Bansal to get Lyon a hattrick? C'MON LYON!

    Nothing to relieve the pressure and get a batsman set like a dose of MJ

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    Agreed, but we're talking about Cook here. This is what he does. To act like his weakness is totally irrelevant to him getting out as he did is naive. Yes, very good bowling, great execution. There's a pretty sizeable zone in which you can bowl and cause problems for Cook. Very similar to how he...

    You mean not much except get forward?

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    As you guys can clearly see, MJ's runs down the order have really built up his confidence with the ball too. Funny how those two go together so often.

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    Yeah Huss, "It's just quality bowling"...and a batsman who has never tried to address his front foot weakness.

    Don't worry Cook, I'm sure you'll get right forward to it soon enough :p

    India's Upcoming Batsman - How do you rate them?

    Somewhat a la Graeme Smith? Not a bad play, but requires more intelligence than MSD has.

    India's Upcoming Batsman - How do you rate them?

    And given how clueless he is about his own batting, how on earth does he expect to have an impact on his teammates' batting when they're going through their own struggles? I just hope this next generation can find good guidance on batting elsewhere if/when their techniques are exposed or they...
