Test The Ashes First Test November 21-25 1300hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Pakenhamsaint]

Do they turn the lights on if it gets to dark?

Its Perth so yes.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

This is a really solid 0 so far.

 

[Peter Bixley]

I like it. The past 12 months have drifted him in to 'overrated' territory for me. Simply making his average for us while opening with a solid first and/or second wicket partnership would take us a long way to winning the match. If he makes 60-70, we're in the box seat.

Make me a believer, Travis.

Can do what Warner did so well at home.

 

[MarcMaverick]

C'mon JB it's not that brave bloke opened in a world cup final ffs

Speaking of. I miss Glenn Maxwell.

I really hope the Perth pitch does not get a bad rating by the icc. I reckon it’s a belter. It’s not the curators fault that batsman have forgotten how to play test cricket. Horrendous display of batting by both teams so far.

 

[grumbleguts]

Next test will be the most he has played in one country other than England. Baffling he hasn’t got a century

It's only baffling if you don't watch him.

 

[RandB]

Umpire: Tea time!

Khawaja:

Umpire: I said tea, not ‘tee’!

I said four, not fore!

 

[Jack Mundy]

Could have been worse Warwick Armstrong

Armstrong had a much better record but was a bit of a prick

 

[TY24]

This is a really solid 0 so far.

Much more impressive than his 0 yesterday

 

[Plugger35]

Khawaja's favourite song.

 

[Black Diamond]

If Khawaja can't bat, or does but fails, we need to seriously consider his place for the second test.

We can't have our opener off the field like he has been. His fielding is also a huge concern. He juggled that first innings catch and dropped what is a sitter at test level today.

Armstrong had a much better record but was a bit of a prick

He was famous for bowling an over, causing a ruckus, then promptly picking up the ball and bowling the next over.

Spirit of cricket be damned

 

[eddiesmith]

How are the nerves, everyone?

Don’t know if nerves or the schnitzel roll from the servo…

 

[imagifED]

Pace a bit down from the English.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

just work into the session lads

no dumb shit!

Batting has been tactically brilliant especially from England.
Bowling in the sport has simply evolved quicker.
It's quicker than ever.
Batting techniques tactical and approach has to adapt.
Smith has joined the party with Head opening.
Brilliant move. I'd actually put Green in at 3 Starc at 4 and if things go south labaschagne and kahwaja can guide it in

Lord Beefy finally making an appearance on Ch7, it's nice of him to take a break from all the wineries and the golf courses here.

And the buffet.

 

[Moonwatcher]

schnitzel roll from the servo…

Russian f'ing roulette

 

[CakeEater]

Aus cricket looks better with an aggressive opener

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

How are the nerves, everyone?

One or two bricks are being prepared

 

[jb04]

Pace a bit down from the English.

They had to swing the bat a bit earlier today at short shit.
