Brook to hack out a big score today?

Snicko ...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Who let John Howard loose??

 

[rdhopkins2]

Hard to believe the pitch was a road an hour ago and now the Aussies have the upper hand.

 

[madmug]

Good take from Carey, but that was Websters.

Its always the keepers if he goes for it.

 

[ams4crows]

All the bowlers getting a wicket is also why I think all the bowling changes have worked so far

 

[Sammo360]

Seriously Fox - do we really need Howard in the commentary box

Get rid of them both.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wonder what impact, if any, the furore about the Melbourne pitch had on the Sydney curators?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Get the corpse out of the box…

 

[Carbine Chaos]

If you need them to make your day at the cricket “great value” then you have a huge problem or you’re one of these new generation that can’t sit still for two minutes without some sort of entertainment. You probably love the dj between each ball at the bbl too.
I stopped going to the AFL because of the constant noise pollution at the ground, not a second of quiet.

What a stupid post.

I'd expect different experiences going to all types of cricket games.

Would love to go to a match in India one day and I imagine that would be rather frenetic.

A game in the Caribbean would be different I'm sure.

More than happy to sit on my own and enjoy a quiet day of traditional Test cricket also.

Of **** now Fox have John Howard in the box. I wonder who runs foxtel? Ffs why is this racist fossil worth even listening too.

 

[Bedi]

**** off John Howard.

 

[Pistol Night]

Bethell looks technically very good, can see why there were calls for him to replace Pope for ages

Edit and out the next ball....

Good now keep praising them as we go.

[Art Vandelay_]

John Howard in the box

Unlike other former PMs that get wheeled out SCG test John Howard is a genuine cricket nuffie.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Well haven't bowled that well but we have found 3 really good deliveries.

Wish Neser would get off the leg stump.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Bethell looks technically very good, can see why there were calls for him to replace Pope for ages

Edit and out the next ball....

Unlike most in the series he didn't do much wrong there, perhaps could have left it but would have been a tight leave. Its not like so many defended edges where they have followed a wide one, or just prodded out where Duckett did this innings.

 

[10Dulkar]

Ironic having the famous off-spinner in the box when Murphy has just been left out

 

[moginie]

Who let John Howard loose??

C'mon he's staggered up all those stairs from the Members to the Noble stand. He can pontificate like Jim Maxwell and just as incomprehensible.

 

[cats_09]

For the twenty balls that both would have faced in total.

Both of them did hit decent scores at different times - Bethell 87 against Hobart & JFM against the Heat

It's just that those matches were their last games for the season rather than early on in proceedings to get the season off to a good start

Yes if a traditional Spoonerism was in play but he actually said Scoland Bo... and caught himself.

 

[Gough]

I'll bag Howard for almost everything and frequently do but the dude does love his cricket that's not fake.
