I've seen committed worse.

I've seen committed worse.

One hand one bounce?

That was one of the dullest days of Test cricket I can remember for a while.

That was one of the entertaining days of Test cricket I can remember for a while.

Pink ball coupled with England either bowling wide of off stump or short .

If we can post 450+ and put England in for a nasty session after dark I recon we will smoke them

Really? I thought it was solid day of test cricket, by and large. Warner and Labu grinding a score while looking under pressure from the English bowlers for much of the time.

If Butler wasn't so hopeless we'd have an evenly poised game at the least.

Kamran Akmal was pretty bad. His misses are highlighted from the 1:15 mark onwards.

Pretty engrossing I thought

Yes but he was actively match fixing during this period. Those were deliberate drops.

England didn't attack outside of the first and last hours. Only 5% of balls were on the stumps so Australia didn't have to play and, for the most part, didn't play. Warner got out after getting bored or too excited approaching his century. Throw in a slow over rate so and you've got a day of slow, dull cricket in my book.

England had a plan and they stuck to it. Aussies just had the patience to outlast them plus more than their fair share of luck.

England's selection kinda forced them into it I was a bit disappointed in the new ball spell at the end of the day but shit happens when you're fatigued.

The Pakistani quicks (that didn't spot fix) would have much better records if it weren't for him. Imagine of he'd been Pakistan's no. 1 keeper the generation before. Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram would've murdered the bloke

Yes, that's what has me worried about today after the first hour.

Marnus tonne. Noice

 

[Godfather32]

****ing lol....that's hilarious

 

[Biggie]

HAHAHAHHAAH

 

[Bender_]

******* lol....that's hilarious

Just keeps getting better.

 

[Godfather32]

Hahaha look at the campaigners dopey face when he realises

 

[Godfather32]

Root looks like he wants to walk off the field

 

[DanWCE]

You just love to read about it because you're at work

 

[Bender_]

Hope they keep England out in the field until the sun goes down, a day out in 40 degrees will **** them up big time.

Marcus Harris can’t buy a run and gets dismissed when Buttler pulls an absolute screamer of a catch.

He now gets to sit in the dressing room whilst Labuschagne gets dropped twice and caught off a no ball

No doubt he’s in shit form but he’d be wondering why he’s getting no luck

And also suck shit England

 

[DanWCE]

I tuned in last night for an hour or so, Warney was on and basically taking the piss out of Marnus and saying he should just stand still, stop moving around the crease etc.

Added absolutely nothing to the commentary, firstly, but also Marnus has been doing this for years and he very clearly gets results. Not a fan of Warne pushing for everyone to fit the conventional cookie cutter mould. It was areas of the commentary when JK had his stutter step that got him bags of goals.

What's so difficult about just calling the play as it unfolds in Australia?
