0/48

Klinger 24*

Hughes 22*

0/50 at tea

Both batsmen 24*

Vital session for the Redbacks. If these two can stick around for a bit we are looking good. Quick wickets and we are in strife.

They need to actually score some runs too though, slow as at the moment

Ovals changed, pitch is still a road

Yep puts the spudbucks at a disadvantage against every other side before the season has even started

WA have the worst bowling lineup in the competition. Unfair to judge the pitch just yet.

Poms are rubbing their hands together, Cook and Trott will bat for 3 days on this deck

Yep we should rest Siddle, Harris and Johnson for Adelaide Test, play Moises, Copeland and Sayers for all i care, walk away with the draw and head to Perth fresh. Easier to do if we are one up after Brisbane

Seriously?? You think his action was ok?

I can see his point though
Murali was reported twice in his career for chucking and Botha has been reported 4 times.
If Botha played for South Africa or India he would be labelled the biggest cheat in cricket yet because he plays for an Aussie side people consider it ok that he cheats, talk about double standards

Is this a joke?
Before "Murali-gate" there were nothing but straight arm bowlers. I can only think of that poor Aussie bloke who got done in England for chucking. Was it Meckiff? Anyway, umpire called him, he never played again.
Murali, however, gets called for chucking in Australia and his whole team threatens to return home mid-tour! They'd rather call the game into disrepute than accept the verdict. Slow mo analysis of his action confirmed he was indeed chucking the bloody thing! But the consequences that the Sri-Lankans had threatened forced the ICC's hand. Suddenly it's okay to chuck. The huge number of wickets he took over his career seems to confirm there is an advantage to chucking.
How can you defend that? They aggressively pushed for rule changes so Murali could play, of course others would follow once the advantages of chucking became legal.
Piss weak by the ICC. But absolute bullshit from Sri Lanka.

awesome opening stand....still a great chance to get 0 points for it though

Cmon boys CA$H in

How can you defend it? Well what he has done since that tour to Australia is apparently legal and within the rules. Its the rules/laws that are the issue, not the bowlers themselves. If they have an action that is legal in Test cricket and they are good enough to play, how can they be blamed for continuing to play? Keeping plebs like us happy is not an issue in the scheme. As previously stated........get the over it and move on, woweeeeee

100 to Klinger...great to watch...now lets get Hughesy there...surely we can get at least 2 points from here

Klinger gets his ton

100*
