Changes are from the last game, the Shield Final last year. There is no specialist spinner with Lyon being rested alongside Cummins and Hazlewood after the Ashes campaign and with O'Keefe carrying a calf injury. Nick Bertus gets the nod over last year's middle order mainstays Jack Edwards and Jason Sangha.

[eth-dog]

Bertus also a possible keeper mate.

I'm backing NSW in a tight one.

 

[grimlock]

 

[corbies]

Abbott got Burns with a full toss that he missed however it was a great set up from Abbott. Had been bowling back of the length that neither Burns or Renshaw could get away then the full one was totally surprised Burns.

 

[toml]

Bollocks decision against Khawaja. Always going over.

 

[corbies]

I went back to watch the wicket and thought he must have also had an LBW shout the ball before the dismissal. Then I realised that was the dismissal. It was definitely going over.

 

[GoodesStuff]

Steve Smith bowling OFF spin.

 

[Longbombswans]

Starc undoing the good work of all the other NSW bowlers. Releasing the pressure.

 

[carnthemlions]

They must've put a lot of work into the pitch to have it look like that, it's insanely dry in Brisbane.

 

[Seedsfan]

Watched the start of the game. Disappointing to see Renshaw get bogged down. He looked very solid early. Labuschange must think this is the Ashes again with everyone falling around him

Starc is done

 

[Aussie_boy]

C'mon Marnus. 152 runs short of 2000 FC runs for the calendar year.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Watched the start of the game. Disappointing to see Renshaw get bogged down. He looked very solid early. Labuschange must think this is the Ashes again with everyone falling around him

Starc is done

The few overs I saw early in the day didn't exactly look great. He scored but he was still finding the edge and lunging very far forward. Probably a bit lucky to survive as long as he did.

Good pitch for cricket though it must be said

 

[corbies]

Labuschagne's LBW looked to be going a fair way down leg too.

 

[toml]

Umpires are woeful

 

[Seedsfan]

Labuschange LBW pitched on leg and was going down

 

[grimlock]

Smith out for a duck!!

 

[Aussie_boy]

Smith out for a duck!!

One thing I've noticed with Smith is he's very good at 'saving' his runs. He'll often make a start in a tour match for instance and get himself out yet we never see that in a test match.

 

[grimlock]

Now Henriques departs, all 3 to Gannon.

 

[big_e]

Last match: Gannon goes wicketless against Bermuda
This match: Gannon gets Steve Smith for a duck

Cricket's a funny game.

 

[Seedsfan]

One thing I've noticed with Smith is he's very good at 'saving' his runs. He'll often make a start in a tour match for instance and get himself out yet we never see that in a test match.

Don’t think he cares as much at state level. He is the most single minded and determined batsmen I have seen. I think he understands how mentally draining that is so when he plays for NSW he plays with a bit more freedom

 

[Seedsfan]

Also you won’t ever see more contrasting days then day one in the Vic v SA game compared to day one at the Gabba. They have to do something to get some life in the wickets here

 

[HODGEYROAD]

What's the pitch doing at the Gabba ? Smith out for a duck Jesus.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Commentators on crack. Watched the Labuschagne dismissal 3 times and no idea how they think that was hitting. Missing by a mile.

Gannon needs to be banned again. That action is a joke.

Good to see Moises out cheaply again. Complete hack.

 

[Jimthegreat]

On the bright side Warner's still batting. 27no, 2nd top score for the day.

 

[to1994]

One thing I've noticed with Smith is he's very good at 'saving' his runs. He'll often make a start in a tour match for instance and get himself out yet we never see that in a test match.

Probably motivational issues, I remember Border talking about how he had to try and find ways to motivate himself in FC games etc. so he'd pick a battle with people to lift himself.

I think Smith uses these games to genuinely practice, try different things, see what works and what doesn't. He was average in grade Cricket last year which looked a worry but it clearly didn't mean anything.
