Australia v England First Ashes Test at the Gabba - 2017

[Fat Nyfe]

Wish Gerard Whately was a TV commentator and not a radio one

Hard yes. Both cricket and footy.

 

[roscreasl98]

I'm a big fan but if you drop a catch you can't be more than a 3 or 4 out of 10 as a keeper

So you are saying what?
Bring back Wade?

C'MON, SAY IT.

That catch was a sitter by Test standards......

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Nearly done with the play for today. Going pretty well regardless of who you support.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Or not 72% of people say that the Aussies are winning day 1

 

[roscreasl98]

Pretty much, one more wicket before stumps would tip it in Australia's favour.

You serious?
They have batted like the 1970's Poms on a road.
This is Boycottesque......

 

[FKASC]

More tests tho

Yeah but I guess that's just what Warney was looking at. He seems to have a hard on for Mooen.

Can't really compare them as bowlers anyway

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Alright, I'm done on BigFooty for today, looking forward to getting into arguments to tomorrow. Go Aussies!!!

 

[RookiePick]

C'mon you campaigners. One more wicket before stumps - dig deep!

 

[roscreasl98]

Moeen Ali can be a dangerous customer if he gets going, Stokes would be even more dangerous if he was out there.

Isn't he in jail yet?

Or not 72% of people say that the Aussies are winning day 1

72% of aussies.
Heavily biased as majority of Pommie supporters are asleep

 

[roscreasl98]

Alright, I'm done on BigFooty for today, looking forward to getting into arguments to tomorrow. Go Aussies!!!

Don't think anyone cares TBH......

 

[roscreasl98]

Lyon needs to use the one that goes straight on, did so well with it on the subcontinent pitches

2nd Innings he'll use it more.

 

[KBLT]

Or not 72% of people say that the Aussies are winning day 1

The polls audience isn't exactly a balanced one though.

 

[Gavin Excell]

This partnership potentially match defining. Seem to be capable these two of scoring fast

 

[Badesumofu]

Australian audience thinks Australia is in front in a fairly even match. News immediately follows the cricket.

 

[PhatBoy]

The complete opposite of his knowledge of our domestic cricketers.

Pretty much

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I'd like to see Lyon bowling to Malan.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I think England's ahead if these 2 survive stumps

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Here’s a nasty 2 overs coming up.

 

[The Casey Cat]

You serious?
They have batted like the 1970's Poms on a road.
This is Boycottesque......

Doesn't matter. They have got something on the board and look like getting to 300. Whether a road or a minefield you can't be confident in our painful and inconsistent batting lineup responding well to that. Unless we rip through the tail and get them all out for under 250 it's advantage England.

 

[a mayes ing]

Would have liked to see Starc with an over or 2 with the old ball. He is probably our best reverse player and he regularly picks up wickets with reverse swing

 

[Costanza_]

I think England's ahead if these 2 survive stumps

Agreed. Especially as everyone had written them off at the GABBA. Even if it's 50/50 they'd be pretty happy.

 

[roscreasl98]

Pretty much

What did you think of The Poms 1970's style batting today Tony?
Stodgy at best for mine.

Given that they are batting on a highway......

 

[Upgrayedd]

Gotta challenge that

 

[3rdManUp]

I like it
