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

[LukeParkerno1]

Atkinson ton soon

 

[Headless]

This is good gear from Starc.

 

[ams4crows]

The problem with day night tests in Brisbane is that if you want a round of golf you need to make sure the game is over the night before.
So you would say it is a live chance if they want a round tomorrow

Unless you are picking up Root and Stokes for under 10 runs each it won't be over tonight

 

[Moonwatcher]

Worrying how flat the wicket is if Starc looks as comfortable as he is now.

Yep, so much to gain by spending as much time on it as possible.

 

[Cmarsh]

I genuinely hate saying it but I actually like Stuart Broad so much more now he's in commentary. I appreciate how good he was as a cricketer particularly in Ashes test in England.

No ego stroking and doesnt concern himself too much with banter of the other commentators. Solid insightful analysis as well.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Not only a 50, but looking very comfortable. Making runs, taking time and farming out the strike.

 

[Lunchtime]

All quality Mitch.

Off the top of my head, he probably has more 50s than Mitch Johnson now.

Johnson: 11 fifties, 1 hundred.
Starc: 12 fifties, 0 hundreds.

 

[Kipz]

They might as well replace Archer in the field with his pillow

 

[kozi]

Starc got off the kale and back on the steak and 3 veg diet

 

[Bucking Beads]

No ego stroking and doesnt concern himself too much with banter of the other commentators. Solid insightful analysis as well.

He sooks with his facial expressions and not his worda which is enjoyable

 

[Snarls Barkley]

All quality Mitch.

Off the top of my head, he probably has more 50s than Mitch Johnson now.

Both have 12 50+ scores now. Johnson 1 hundred and 11 50s. Starc 12 50s with a highest of 99

Scored a lot early in his career, not much anymore. His 50 in the WTC final was the first since 2019

 

[Moonwatcher]

Damn, pity she's English

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Scotty goat looking like a top order bat too

Warning signs for England

 

[HBF]

I like a few of the English commentators. Atherton is amazing as an analyst and Nasser Hussein very good too

Add Michael Vaughan to that list.

 

[TasSixer]

Leia

 

[Gough]

I'd like to see Boland into double figures to keep the scorecard looking neat if I'm going to be really picky.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Very Mitchell Johnson like series for Starc so far

Johnson had one of the best cover drives i have seen.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Add Michael Vaughan to that list.

Yeah I don’t like him as much personally but not a bad shout

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I must have missed the movie where Darth Vader danced with his daughter

 

[Gethelred]

I am not going to say anything for fear of jinxing it.

 

[Joffaboy]

FMD princess Leia and Cantina music.

 

[Joffaboy]

I must have missed the movie where Darth Vader danced with his daughter

I saw the one she kissed her brother

 

[Jimthegreat]

Worrying how flat the wicket is if Starc looks as comfortable as he is now.

Hence I'd like to see these two go as long as possible. The longer we go, the newer the ball is under lights when we bowl. Not to mention grinding the Poms down.

 

[Cleavy]

England playing that 4D Chess. tiring Starc out with the bat, so hopefully his bowling is less effective.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Is the English tactics to bowl pies and wait for a mistake?
