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

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Zing stumps at night are glorious

Best cricket invention since the box

 

[MarcMaverick]

Those Wespac Ads are dreadful.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Honestly never again Doggett please

Even last test every wicket was a dead set half tracker

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Duggett looking very threatening.

Looks kind of like Stuart Clark as he approaches the crease.

He's got a very easy action
Strange that he's had so many injuries over his career

 

[Around the Wicket]

Going at 2 since dinner break

Boland needs to hit jacks with one that straightens .

 

[JimmyBC]

So does Root doing well playing a trad test innings in terms of balls faced fly in the face of bAzBaLl ?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

One more from these bowlers
Then Starc to clean up the last 3

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Boland needs to hit jacks with one that straightens .

Right in the middle stump ideally

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Then realised he was in the wrong and gave Root words of encouragement and couple taps on the back

I really liked seeing that. I actually think that that part of the Bazball ethos is fantastic.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Century rooted now for Joe? Running out of partners!

Moral duck

 

[Hawksboy72]

Great victorian cricketers.
Julien Weiner.
Jeff Moss.
Paul Hibberd.

 

[Kram]

Victorian Test bowling has come a long way since Jonathan Hastings.

It's still BazBall. I just think that the shot selection is becoming a bit more selective

 

[Bucking Beads]

Some of the worst ever players selected have been Victorians. Hastings and Quiney top the list of garbage IMO.

Way too soon

Still have nightmares of us resting our whole attack to have Hastings opening the bowling in a series decider

Best 9 of all time though

 

[Gough]

Wiener is the only Jewish Australian Test cricketer. A mate of mine played for the South Australan Jewish schoolboys cricket team which he said was as shit as it sounded.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Doggett reminds me of Joe Mennie a little bit

 

[Jack Lord]

Good game.

I think it's just the surface and drop in quality of the bowling alongside the fact that Root hasn't gone cheap this time round.

The only difference in the game is the dots Root has faced, IMO.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good game.

Another whole day of this

 

[Gavin Excell]

Going at 2 since dinner break

Yeah that will hurt them

 

[Gethelred]

Why bowl Green now? Just gifting them loose balls.
