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

[Spirit Level]

Stokes and Root doing well here, hanging in through the critical period

 

[MarcMaverick]

Ah so Gazza got a errant shot from Buckets.

 

[Kapow!!!]

So I've booked tickets that are in the sun for the first session and a half. Oh well. The beers will have to get me through that shit show

As have I. As my brother said "It's like true test match cricket: Challenging conditions early but if you dig in and see it off you can really cash in later"

 

[Bloody]

Wish they showed the field setup more. Feels uninspiring to draw a shot

 

[Gethelred]

Stokes felt pressured into that shot, had to do something.

Hmmm...

 

[Kapow!!!]

47 overs in 2 sessions is arse

 

[Around the Wicket]

400+ is par from here for England

 

[MarcMaverick]

47 overs in 2 sessions is arse

Yep.

 

[Around the Wicket]

47 overs in 2 sessions is arse

No spinners to speed it up and a lot of boundaries

 

[Kapow!!!]

137.1 kph kept at the stumps. Crikey!

 

[Bucking Beads]

As have I. As my brother said "It's like true test match cricket: Challenging conditions early but if you dig in and see it off you can really cash in later"

Sections 414. Keep a look out for a fat **** with a mad shirt and pant combo melting

 

[Gethelred]

I like Carey keeping up here, take advantage both of Neser's slightly lower pace and pushing him back to face the swing where he doesn't want to.

 

[Kapow!!!]

135.7kph bouncer kept at the stumps. Seriously this is bloody impressive

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Nice shots of Brisbane at sunset<Nice shots of Adelaide at sunset

 

[Around the Wicket]

2-98 both sessions

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

13 overs behind after 2 sessions…

 

[kozi]

We haven’t bowled a yorker since 1995

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Did I miss much?

Least the night session is soon

 

[norway blue]

Keeping well.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Nice shots of Brisbane at sunset<Nice shots of Adelaide at sunset

Brisbane along the river at night is the money shot

 

[MisterMarcus]

47 overs in 2 sessions is arse

Getting a bit worried we might need to send down 20 overs of nude nuts from Head and Labu to get back to something resembling parity.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

14 overs behind and we won’t even get to use the new ball because we have too many quicks

 

[Plugger35]

Brave keeping from Carey being up to the stumps against Neser without a helmet, he isn't a medium pacer, he is fast medium.

 

[Hawks1523]

Just got home. Flat deck? Average bowling? Or poms just playing decently?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Fantastic keeping by Carey
