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

[TigerCraig]

Yes but its a team game and that does the team no good. Say that in the meetings for sure but saying it to the cameras just means your teammates are going to get quizzed even more by the media about it from here on out. Just put your head down and do the job for the team.

May as well get rid of all player interviews then

 

[Roonescape]

Good on him

 

[Young Redleg]

Yeah honestly good on Root. One of the only players from that English side that I don't loathe

 

[Moonwatcher]

We never have that over him again

 

[freo_leo29]

Monkeys off the back, that could be the series

 

[peternorth]

now gtfo

 

[Gak Attack]

Good knock. Owes Doggett a beer for the pies to help him get there

 

[Kapow!!!]

Well played Root.

Also, how good is it? The Barmy Army finally turned up!

 

[FreoRicci]

Well done, Root. Have to respect the resilience

 

[Scorpus]

It took our worst bowling line-up in a decade but Root gets his century

 

[troybe]

Joe’s finally got one. Congrats nicely played and well deserved

 

[Doggy]

"There won't be one Australian who won't be celebrating Root's three figures"

Lol, **** off Vaughan

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Now **** off, Root.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Apparently Starc has been off the ground and doing a lot of stretching

He shouldn't be struggling he hasn't bowled that many overs.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Can thank Smith for bowling Doggett.

 

[MJG14]

Well done Joe and no nude run around the MCG for Big Dos.

Well being spared from that is certainly a silver lining

 

[Gough]

Proper cricket.

 

[windyhill]

Played Joe, huge pressure.

 

[Mister B]

Jesus Christ. Why do we have to have pom commentators on our broadcast. The wanking over Root finally doing something he’s paid to do in Australia is like having to listen to the homoerotic wankfest that is the current formula one broadcast.

 

[Woody15]

Great innings. Well done.

While it was a bit of fun with the English that he never scored a 100, he hasn't exactly stunk in Australia. To think people would talk about him differently if he had scored 11 more runs in a previous innings amongst all the runs he has scored in his career sounds pretty silly to be honest.

 

[Jimthegreat]

We find the leg stump way too much.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We never have that over him again

I think it was Pakenhamsaint who had a great idea earlier in the thread:

Never made a red ball century in Australia

 

[Cataholic]

It took our worst bowling line-up in a decade but Root gets his century

Pretty much this.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Super happy for Joe Root! He deserved a 100 in Australia.

 

[CURVE]

One of the most disappointing days in the history of Cricket.
