Aussie new boy is having fun in the middle, whilst the "experienced" bowlers bowl very badly at him.....too many short/bouncers....come on lads sort it out.

50 on debut in an ashes match. Congrats to him but enough is enough. Made me laugh that he played a warm up match for Henley and played number 3 hehe. He won't be an 11 for long at this rate.

Fair enough.

I can see the Aussies calling on broads sportsmanship there. It was the umpires choice not to give him out.

rotters · 12 Jul 2013 at 17:32

Completely agree.

Seeing as Ramdin got a ban for what he did, Broad should get a ban too.

I agree with Strauss there is disparity in how these are delt with and always has been, it is worse to claim a dropped catch than it to ignore a nick off. Just seems right.

Yup well done for grinding this out and to broad for getting his half century. Going to bat 2 sessions i hope and put them in tonight for a peppering.

I wish bell would push on, I know slow and steady but 6 runs in 50mins....come on lad.

Good to see it swinging, jimmy is going to have fun.

I feel this is going to be an easy win for Australia. Our bowlers are crap.

Uh huh jimmy and swanny are crap? You mean one of our bowlers isn't bowling to his potential and that would be Finn. Don't bother posting if your going to post ********.

rotters · 13 Jul 2013 at 16:53

Got to disagree with you too. The pitch isn't exactly helping. Finn is the worse culprit but the other two are doing well. Broad hasn't bowled enough to tell.

I not sure if you guys are goading me or just not watching the game I'm watching.

And a good one!

rotters · 14 Jul 2013 at 12:25

Ahh it's too close even now for comfort. Come on lads.

rotters · 14 Jul 2013 at 12:34

Siddle for 11, excellent catch by cook. He's caught 3 dropped 1. Excellent morning.

rotters · 14 Jul 2013 at 12:56

Yup, Finn will be dropped for the next test I'm pretty sure. Played pretty awful all yesterday and in that last shoddy over.

rotters · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:16

Good shout.

rotters · 14 Jul 2013 at 14:23

Yes yes yes yes
