Siddle looks like a vampire in Buffy post transformation

 

[embree]

I'm not sure I like the way the director keeps choosing that side on view of KP, legs akimbo and flexing his thighs. It's making me uncomfortable

 

[Red Faction]

in business at last

He does, the tough bloke in the car park. You're getting thrown into a mental fence.

Didn't quite carry

 

[butchersapron]

Good news for us that there's life. You're pulling your own noose.

He looks quite animated for someone who's only just got the openers out when they're already 70 behind

water break and a giant fizzy mobile orange comes onto t'pitch..

 

[liquidlunch]

I thought so

I realise that Mr Lunch is trying to distract from how appalling Australia's top order are by bigging up England's bowling (which was indeed very good) but I fear he is overegging the pudding to an unrealistic extent there. Keep it believable please.

Australia have forgotten to pick a spinner, a classic error. Sadly they've also forgotten to pick an opener and a number six batsman.

We have a good spinner,one S Smith.He just hasn't shown it in the world area.He has done well in sheffied shield and deserves a good crack.I am sure he will be part of a much needed rebuild when this series finishes.Openers(Hughes) aren't an easy pick when you are trying to bring stability to your side.He had the scores in the state comp to open the batting when a position became available for the national team.He has to be given some leeway as he was chucked in at the deep end.1 good innings and he will be away,confidence is a good thing to have and display.After this nightmare finishes i think we will have a much needed broom thru the place.I think Watson,Hussey and Haddin are the only certs in the batting lineup

I like to think they all line up to drink from a teat on the cap of the bottle

Hughes cannot bat - he can whack the ball if bowled bad. He cannot bat.

 

[strung out]

rain coming now. australia have been well flukey in this match

 

[embree]

Hughes cannot bat - he can whack the ball if bowled bad. He cannot bat.

He got dropped 18 months ago and it's evident nobody has done any work on his technique at all. He's still nowhere near Test standard

 

[Steel Icarus]

What would be a decent score to declare at? 300? 350?

 

[Santino]

Declare? 500-odd. Fuck it, 600 if the weather's clear.

 

[embree]

There isn't one, we bowled them out in two sessions for heavens sake. Bat forever

 

[embree]

We have doubled the Australian total for two wickets down

 

[Red Faction]

declare at 400?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

so peterson should try to slog it a bit now?

 

[Lo Siento.]

patience here. They won't bowl this tight all day...
