Nice

 

[bradydaw91]

Ahahaha his luck runs out

 

[freo_leo29]

Holy **** I forgot about brook too LOL

I wouldn’t drop Green , just get him in the nets. Just work on his run up .

Only way to work on a run up is out in the middle. Surely it can’t be that difficult for him to bowl 10 overs in an innings.

 

[smasha]

More chin music Hazey.

 

[Plugger35]

Aussie bowlers going the short ball tactics here.

Definite plan here.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Warner does have good hands

 

[FreoGirl]

Oh, well, there's always 2018 to remember

when Collingwood was robbed that was because you had Sam Mitchell

 

[Peter Bixley]

I mean, say what you want but this shift in tactics has worked. The Root wicket on top of that and we'd be back in control right now.

It's a tactic that works but how much does it take out of our bowlers?

Certainly agree that the loss of Root puts us in charge, but had Green not no-balled then we don't know if Duckett would have got out like that.

You would think so .

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like the England batsmen are going to take the short ball on.

Exciting stuff, fight fire with fire.

 

[10Dulkar]

Brook hitting to right field.

 

[danielnajdek]

Wtf am I watching atm.

 

[smasha]

Hit Root with everything like Thommo and Lillee.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Thought you were referencing an Ashes series, and then realised I am in fact on a footy site.

 

[DocklandsSaint]

Very suburnt and very intoxicated..
Well done to everyone back home still awake...this is the partnership I've been waiting all day for.

We're on top, but I thought we'd be in a bit better position than this.

Big 90 minutes ahead.

 

[BACCS]

Sucks that stupid shot from Brook then landed safely, that is a ridiculous shot to play 3 balls into a Test innings. He is treating this as a T20.

 

[KBLT]

Ben Duckett looked like an actual midget in some of the footage

 

[Peter Bixley]

Starc's usefulness might become apparent with this shift in tactics.

 

[Plugger35]

Big test for Brook here.

Does he stay or does he go.

 

[smasha]

My 2 fav commentators.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Brook doesn't look perfectly comfortable.

 

[CrowBloke]

Josh haz le wood on DUCKETT, who can piss right off.

 

[10Dulkar]

You'd pay some money to sit down with Ponting for a full day of test cricket and have him talk his way through all of the different tactics and the mindset. Would be unreal.

Colonel Sanders helping the drinks man.
