1st Test Australia v Pakistan Dec 14-18 1250hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Voice of the G]

I would be on my way home now if I had of gone to the game, I admit I am bias towards bowling but if I go to test match on day 1 and its none for at lunch I reckon it's to good a batting deck for day 1.

Have not seen a ball bowled and looks like it is time to do a bit of gardening.

Does it?

Any series that doesn’t involve two of England, India and Australia is pretty dogshit at the moment. It’s unfortunate. Hopefully SA has a bounce back soon.

IMO India Tests are good to watch, Australian Tests where our batsmen just fill there boots suck, at least India there is a but going on and when a batsmen does score runs you think "geez that was a good innings".

100%. Every Ashes would work out perfectly.

Is it too early for AFL though?

Some of the Sunday games can start a touch too early but sometimes its nice not having to wait around.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I actually really like Mitch, think he’s more soft spoken and humble than most think, but damn, he didn’t look comfortable here haha.

He can't say much when the guy his targeted is 70 not out lol

 

[grumbleguts]

Warner's average against Pakistan currently (at lunch on day 1) stands at 88.33.

Looks like everyone has gone home.

I think it will take more than a streaky fifty on a flat deck for him to be loved.

You'd love him if he was kiwi

I know Marsh has gone well recently but I still would have persisted with Green as Green is only 24 year old.

Wasim Akram...possibly the only bloke on the planet that could rock a pair of sunnies in the com box.

When Hayden learns to control his voice that'd also be great

Would be happy to trade him and Langer for Kelly Underwood

Boycott's gran could get 70 with a stick of rhubarb against this attack on this deck .... it's exactly the reason we should have a new face getting expereince and not flog warner padding stats

 

[Paracleet]

There seemed to be a bit of seam movement to my eye. None for 120 of 25 is bad bowling rather than good batting.

Plus one in Shaheen's first over went through the top a touch. Pakistan are stuffed.

Your right but it would have been easier for Johnson to continue his attack if Warner was out for bugger all lol

 

[Iceman!]

They need to now implement Ponting’s suggestion a few years ago to scrap the toss and let the away side choose what they want to do. The series is already over

Yes because the toss is what the issue here is, not the skill disparity.

Yeah, so a shame all round. Would have loved to hear MJ coming off a long run after the flog warner got out cheaply

It's starting to look that way, but we haven't seen Cummins and co. bowl on this pitch yet. This Pak-attack could only take 4 wickets from Australia's reserves.

Don’t think it’ll harm green to miss a few games, he’s got plenty of time. Bison deserved his spot, am happy for him.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We'll most likely get to 450-500 then declare.

Stuff that get 800

The same can be said for our bowlers in our conditions though, why is it batting is so easy in Australia yet we are routinely bowling out the opposition cheaply?

 

[Around the Wicket]

5 Tests against weak opposition would have done Green wonders.

As “good” as Bison was he averaged his career average in the Ashes

 

[Iceman!]

As always lunch on day 1 and people are declaring it a road

At this rate he wouldn’t even get a bat
