wooaaaah, jimmy jimmy.. jimmy jimmy jimmy jimmy an-der-saaaaaahn.....

Let's hope we hit the right areas.

True, but Aussie conditions and the Kookie ball aren't as conducive to reverse swing as the Duke in England. I only saw the first session last night. Was Siddle reversing it appreciably later on?

I went to bed at 5 so didn't hear what the commentators had to say. But I suspect this is the case.

 

[twentythreedom]

finn could potentially be awesome. the tall two need to get the length right, could be dangerous

 

[strung out]

can't see oz getting past 200 tbh

think i'm being pessimistic here. all out shortly after lunch for sub 150

 

[Santino]

Like Lord's 2005 but the other way around.

 

[strung out]

if we get a move on, the follow on could be enforced actually

 

[twentythreedom]

just checked the weather in brisbane, sounds fucking ideal!!

 

[gabi]

I went to bed at lunch but left the radio on. Weird fucking dreams ensued as a result. I don't think I could take a full two months of this, thank fuck I'm headin off to a country where cricket doesn't exist in a few days. It's worse than a crack habit

for up to date weather reports try bom.gov.au,click on queensland then brisbane radar.
maybe a light shower or two in the morning,might make the pitch a tad faster but we like that.We will probably declare tomorrow at stumps for 500-550
Keep Siddle in a cage overnight poking sticks thru the bars at him then let him loose at 10.30.Should be all over by tea.
"polishes crystal ball and returns it to cupboard next to Strauss voodoo doll"

They talking about botham being a grumpy git by any chance?

 

[liquidlunch]

your men need to bowl a decent length.They wont get lb's or edges at the short length they are bowling

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Been a few gifts so far, certainly. Thing is, it's an 'English length' that's needed. No excuses.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

so close on the run out! just missed.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Direct hit was out!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Wicket's coming.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

ssssshhhh

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Screaming drive for 4 as I typed that

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I can't see us getting a wicket until the next session if that.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Wild ball that one.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Watson's looking good. Hmmm. I haven't rated him in the past. His technique seems to have improved – playing much straighter.

 

[Santino]

Get Swann on ffs

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Yep. Not beating the bat in the way they were half an hour ago.

 

[Santino]

Come on!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

please god please

 

[TrippyLondoner]

fuck sakes.
