Cracking first day of the test. Big chance for Voges to pile on a big score in his first dig...been a long time coming.

Hope Taz took note of the fact catches win matches!

I hope Australia don't watch North.

The path to back to back ashes will not be whipping a fractured West Indies then turning up complacent against a team you haven't beaten away for 12 odd years.

we'll be fine, the Kiwis are softening them up nicely. They're giving them a nice little confidence booster only to rip them down and remind them how shit they are. They'll be an emotional wreck by the time we get there.

Pleased to be of service !

Wouldn't write the Pom's off completely yet. Their top order has some talent especially with Cook finding a bit of form, Root has had an excellent 18 months and Stokes, & Butler look to be good players. If Bell got back to his best then its a pretty good line up.
Just can't see them dismissing you guys twice. Broad has all the physical attributes, but makes Robbo look like a Rhodes scholar, Anderson is dangerous early, but his later spells weren't great, their young fast bowler Wood is ok and Ali was rubbish.

and they caught like convicted Saudi Arabian shoplifters too. Honestly they were worse than bad

You forgot the obligatory: Broads a shit bloke.

well I haven't met him but I think you're probably right

having said that I thought the Aussie reaction to him about not walking was the pot calling the kettle black. Like who was the last Australian to walk ?... probably Burke or Wills

Watson.....just below a run-a-ball 11. But what an 11.
2 fours. 13 balls.......sun was shining. Blue smoky haze drifting over the ground, the rum band at 3rd man behind the fence.......

Pretty sure every guy to hit it to gully had walked!

Greg Chappell hit it to deep midwicket against us and didn't walk !

Probably Gilly. But I get your point

 

[KiwiRoo]

I'd say you're right and If I remember rightly he copped a fair bit of criticism for doing it too

I'm not anti non walking by the way.. all nations don't walk. Just found it funny the national outcry against Broad when he didn't

Maybe because he looks like Draco Malfoy.

Lot of similarities between Shane Watson & our current list
