Test The Ashes First Test November 21-25 1300hrs @ Perth Stadium

[BGman]

Thanks for the entertainment Trav.

CA will be spitting chips over a two day Test match. Curator may be sacked as he made that deck far too pace dominant on the first day.

I think it was fastest ashes tons. it just happens that 3 of them were in Perth

Nah fastest tons by Australians.

Gregory scored his in Johannesburg

 

[gordo2016]

Fox had a graphic up with the fastest 100s in Perth. Gilly, Head and Warner on the list. And some bloke from 1921 against RSA lol

It was the fastest 100's Australians have made anywhere. Two of them just happened to be in Perth and the other one was in South Africa.

And take away from Anderson and Broad who would have laughed at Stokes' face if he told them to bowl short and rank

Broad would have given it a red hot crack to the end. As much as hated him, he was better than Anderson when it tough going

Where the fck is Bancroft?

Sitting in the sheds at AO because it’s pissing down

 

[Borisdog]

As a team we still have immense problems but England probably not the team to take advantage of them

They can, and they will. They won’t always tread on their dick like they did here.

The day/night game is still a lottery.

We got out of jail magnificently here, but some of the warders gave us a fair bit of help.

 

[The_Reaper]

Don’t think he has done enough to jump the queue

I do have my doubts on guys who can only go at a SR of 40 in Shield. It’s not the be all and end all, making runs is always the most important thing, but I do have reservations on guys that can’t score freely at lower level being able to find scoring options the next level up

Yeah do agree with that.
In any case our batting is still very concerning and Webster was doing well there so I'm more than happy to bring him in.

Yeh fixed it up. Thought it was all Perth. The other one was in RSA.

 

[peternorth]

Never in doubt

 

[Moonwatcher]

Never in doubt

You know it's been a one sided domination when the game's done in 2 days.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Just a question to Michael Vaughan ..... what happened to that BRILLIANT bowling attack of England?

 

[beatnik]

They can, and they will. They won’t always tread on their dick like they did here.

The day/night game is still a lottery.

We got out of jail magnificently here, but some of the warders gave us a fair bit of help.

“But did we absolutely destroy England the right way?”

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I have to catch a Sandringham train to get a 3 or 67 to get a train at Caulfield or Carnegie.

Worth staying at the pub to watch us win

 

[Cyber_punk]

That match was like being down 5 goals in the third quarter only to end up winning by 80 points. 2021 Grand final esque.

Ridiculous turnaround. Not quite Adelaide 2006 but still crazy.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Broad would have given it a red hot crack to the end. As much as hated him, he was better than Anderson when it tough going

Correct. I always rated Broad ahead of Anderson in Australian conditions.

 

[Borisdog]

“But did we absolutely destroy England the right way?”

Doesn’t matter. We won.

But to assume it’ll always happen isn’t smart.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

A 10 for is as good as a 200

Think of it this way, 5 wickets equal a ton

Depends on the 5 for.

Witnessed one today that made me question the sport.

 

[Grockadoc]

Weren't we supposed to be scared of Mark Wood?

 

[damochandler]

Correct. I always rated Broad ahead of Anderson in Australian conditions.

I put broad ahead Anderson full stop. He ran in all day every day

 

[Visions]

Seriously WTF?

Took off from home at lunch with England in total control, and just come back now to find the Aussies won!

What the **** happened in the last two sessions?

 

[TazHawk15]

Morally that was a 5 wicket attacking entertaining win by the Poms,

 

[beatnik]

Doesn’t matter. We won.

But to assume it’ll always happen isn’t smart.

You’re the exact sort of fan that The Grade Cricketer mock incessantly

 

[Ekomaira]

what a day

 

[kozi]

Isa not copping Stokes' bullshit answer there not once, but twice, was a thing of beauty. She's one of the best in the business.

She’s a star for that came out like a boxer with the questions and they all landed

Imagine the alternative with big farkn Haydos up there doing the interview.. “Still 4 tests to go you’ll be right mate, how’s the barramundi up here”

 

[Gough]

That was Jack Gregory. He was a real man. Batted without a box and bowled at 90MPH.

Bought this last year.
