Test The Ashes Second Test December 4-8 1430hrs @ The Gabba

[Kapow!!!]

Only slight issue but Weatherald needs to be better than that im the field, especially when you're trying to build pressure to a big hitter

 

[SC_Power]

Did he also bowl waist high down leg side in shield cricket?

He is a Simon the Pieman crud bowler with no weapons at this level.

Maybe Shield level he goes ok but at test level he is useless. You cant bowl constant short crap down leg in an Ashes series.

He’s being told to.
You understand that, right?

Great frigging movie.

Don't disagree but **** Brook absolutely creamed that cut shot..

 

[dumb]

The plan is clearly to get Starc and Boland on as soon as the light starts to change. I hate the bumper barrage but it generally slows down their scoring. If Doggett was quicker it would be more dangerous.

funny how our plans against england always seem to be mark time until someone else bowls

Would probably be a bit different if we had more of our better bowlers available

 

[SC_Power]

Play well in Shield cricket for three years...

Bloody hell some of you have no idea

Some prefer we pick someone with a Shield average of 35 with the bat or ball because “zing” and “vibe”….

 

[Plugger35]

Haydos talking about Cummo and Lyno, you're not in the Aussie team anymore you dropkick so quit the nicknames.

You would never hear Punter doing that when he commentates.

 

[norway blue]

Sure Neser not bowling grenades. But he’s holding for Starc.

 

[satty]

I know this is unorthodox, maybe give head or Smith a go. Anything to unsettle the batters .

 

[TY24]

He’s being told to.
You understand that, right?

Do you understand that he's being asked to do something and failing to execute it?

I'm dead certain he's not being asked to bowl short wide and shit. He would be being asked to bowl at the body and above chest height ideally.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Smith with the appropriate reaction to Green there

need to get the over rate up to take the new ball under lights

 

[TY24]

A spinner would help with that

 

[Plugger35]

Greeno back on.

 

[Kram]

Let's go Greeny.

What, you actually think that a fast bowler can’t bowl a short ball?
Seriously, you think he’s trying, but can’t?
Wow.

 

[Xtreme]

At least England win the best dressed award. They look dashing with the Toyota logo. Whereas Australia look like lost at sea with the dodgy W on their tops!

 

[Borisdog]

Pretty atrocious all day.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Root is playing the conditions a lot better than usual. I'm backing him for the ton here

Wow.

Where did I say that?

I said he's failing to execute the plan, not that he can't bowl a short ball.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Pretty atrocious all day.

5 pace bowlers. Colour me shocked we'll struggle to get to 80 overs

 

[corbies]

That was an utterly embarrassing chase from Travis Head.

 

[Gough]

Maybe we forget there's no day light savings in Queensland. Hardest time for batting in night Tests here is the long twilight which they just don't have up there.

 

[dumb]

giving a part time spinner an over or two would be admitting selection failure, so if smith has had a hand in it, we won't see it
