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

[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.

 

[ams4crows]

Well played Root, after the drop didn't look like getting out at all until the nervous 90s

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Will Jacks was very trustworthy and looked really solid. Played a huge role there in getting Root to 100.

 

[Mac Chappy]

Spinner would be handy…

 

[Moonwatcher]

Great catch

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good contested mark

 

[SportsCentre]

That is stunning

 

[Moonwatcher]

I gave up very early on that one

 

[k31th]

why the hell would Marnus even go for it? great catch Carey

 

[MarcMaverick]

What a contested mark by the former Giant.

 

[TigerCraig]

FFS

 

[Pure_Ownage]

What a catch! They are not going to try to declare are they? I think its too late in the day for that.

 

[DamoESP]

Carey you ****ing legend!

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Carey has been extraordinary today

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The absolute obsession with declarations is insane.

Just as that catch is….
