COMM BANK SERIES GAME 1: AUSTRALIA vs ENGLAND (MCG, SUNDAY)

[TheStinger]

Is there any chance of England playing at least one game where they don't cheat? Would be amazing if they did.

oh oh wicket

TYpical Haddin dismissal

Interesting to hear Swann go from being the world's best spinner to a useful offie in the space of an hour on the 9 commentary team.

 

[dumb]

celebrate while you can shazam, since it looks like you won't get much chance when you bowl

 

[dumb]

clarke at 3, obviously fancies himself to play a good innings...

 

[Gus]

Lovely stuff Hads. Pride in your wicket not something you've ever thought of?

 

[eddiesmith]

Shocking dismissal

Is that enough to save his spot?

Also suprised that Clarke still came out at 3

So you didn't see Strauss making a dash backwards whilst the bowler was running in, clearly contravening the laws of cricket. Only caught because Haddin pulled out at the last minute because he saw him doing it.

Good opening stand but that was a dumb dumb shot by Haddin. If you're going to hit it in the air, why do it where there is a man? Especially as it looked as though there was no one else on the on side.

 

[Kerrby]

Classic catchers curse strikes again XD XD XD lol u

 

[peternorth]

clarke in.

meltdown imminent

 

[Cousin Jed]

2 men out there and a 120 metre boundary (yes exaggerated). Beyond stupid.

Looks like this ball is reversing well.

KP was also out that way as well which makes it even stupider shot

I following an English stream and that plank Botham referred to that as 'tactics'. Bothan is so obvious a personality.

i haven't been watching it. so i would always like to know what happened before i pass judgement

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Whenever Clarke comes in, the bowlers suddenly go from seeming pedestrian to looking dangerous. It's a dead cert, it happens every time.

And he's trying to get out.

So you didn't see it? That's ok, I've told you what happened now. Judgement?

he only calls australian cheats and he doesn't what ever does illegally is cheating. they can do no wrong to him

 

[Hollow Knight]

We started too strongly.

I knew once that happened that we'd have to go back into our shells and allow them to heap up the pressure again. Not disappointing so far.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Clarke going to the David Hussey school of batting except he can't hit any full balls

 

[Jimpson]

3 off 14, the internet is about to explode

 

[peternorth]

get your eye in clarke.

wait. wat?

 

[Pinitchio]

Want to start making some runs anytime soon Clarke?

 

[eddiesmith]

Very harsh comparison, Duss can actually hit boundaries eventually

 

[Audacious]

Well this has been the best start to any innings we've had this summer. Watson.. if he could get those brain fades out of his game, he would just about be captain material. Bag him out all you like for consistently getting out after he makes his 50, but he does the job more often than most of our batsman.

Really deserves a century here.
