[dogs105]

Well batted Usman

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Lovely cut shot to bring up the 50.

 

[k31th]

Very nice fifty Khawaja

 

[Westend]

50 for ussie

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We dont need a massive score anything 300-320 is enough.

Boland will rip through them they will struggle to make 150

I would rather 600 thanks bat for 2 days that should be the ideal thing

 

[Neese]

Woot Ussie.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Took a while but he was De-readback'd

 

[troybe]

Nice innings Uz. Still got it

 

[HK_Hawk]

Nice work, Usman

 

[smasha]

Gritty 50 Ussie.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Seems like a massive waste of time, but go for your life I guess.

Labuschagne and Head's ducks on debut were great signs of things to come.

Clarke’s hundred. Mark Waugh’s hundred certainly were.

Tempering some of the hyperbole ‘this will be remembered forever’ I don’t see as an issue.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Is there really any point to this coil/ribbon graphic.

It’s new, new stuff is fun?

 

[Joffaboy]

That is why you need your head checked if you think of bowling first. Get through 2 hours and let the pitch bake

That was the angst early on with the pup ramping etc. It has paid off big though.

That 50 by Usman may be enough for selection in the Ashes next year.

 

[010203]

Boy Khawaja needed this half century.

 

[kickazz]

I'd imagine there is some information there if we knew what a typical action looked like.

If they could average it it for a bowler when fresh and tired, bowling well not bowling well, it would be interesting.

Right now it's just wow look at what my computer can do

 

[BGman]

The game is an undeniably quicker one these days, he did what used to take three hours to do in one and a bit and has provided a good platform. It's what you ask for from an opener.

Yes but there is still a part to play for the stonewaller at the other end. After all it is a five day game.

I think it was a blessing for us they rushed Rohit back into the side he is clueless and has disrupted their entire side

The ramp does work and it gets Bumrah to bowl differently. He was bowling slower balls in 5 overs

 

[dogs105]

Clarke’s hundred. Mark Waugh’s hundred certainly were.

Greg Blewett made a beautiful hundred

 

[Sea fog]

Well batted Usman

He can thank his opening partner for taking the pressure.

 

[SSwans2011]

Clarke’s hundred. Mark Waugh’s hundred certainly were.

You mean some players do well on debut and some not so well? Crazy.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I think it was a blessing for us they rushed Rohit back into the side he is clueless and has disrupted their entire side

Gifting Virat a ton in a match we were already being flogged in helped too

 

[Snarls Barkley]

We have scored 7 runs in 40 minutes after lunch

Ussie likes going into his bubble and just soaking up time and balls. I think that’s the style that he probably feels like he has had the most success with.

Marnus worries me a bit more when he has these periods. Feel like he is a naturally aggressive sort of player and he’s a guy who wants to be busy. Feel like when he soaks up the dots and doesn’t try to score, he is very likely to be dismissed.

 

[Natho]

Good knock so far ussie
