FIRST ASHES TEST 25-29 NOV AT THE GABBA

[mal]

COLLINGWOOD C PONTNG B SIDDLE 4
This time I would have had a 3rd slip for Collingwood
One again Collingwood against good quicks shows his vulnerability
Wait for him on the even flatter decks like Adelaide and Sydney when he will be a hard man to dismiss

[Vulcan]

Siddle gets another one and bowling really well ATM, doherty looks alright so far.

[Vulcan]

Johnson still struggling to bowl a good consistent line.
Next wicket is huge I think, get another one soon and we can rip into lower order.

[Strawb]

Siddle to take the next Wicket

[Swamp Donkey]

Pieterson = biggest wanker in international cricket at the moment. He typifies the label FIG JAM!

Yeah but he makes us watch though. Not sure you or I should really coment on how blokes conduct themselves on the sporting field compared to how they normally are off field!

He is the oppsite MC, seems to conduct himself reasonably on the field but just looks like he'd be a spanker off it, unlike your good self, not so sure about Drop Bear. I just can't get that image of him arriving at Brisbane airport at 8pm and strutting through the place wearing dark sunglasses and sporting a creepy mow, I just thought to myself what a tosser!

Johnson still struggling to bowl a good consistent line.

Nothing new there.
A captains nightmare this bloke.
How much longer the selectors put up with him is anyone's guess.

Mission accomplished with Hauritz out the side, now for Johnson.

I think a problem the selectors have is say for example bollinger comes in for Johnson, the we have 3 x no 11's in the batting line up.

[Bum Crack]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Tony Grieg and Ian Chappell are a couple of first class flogs?? Ian Chappell reminds me of Dermott Brereton as a commentator. Full of piss and wind and has a very high opinion of himself. I think he's an arrogant ****.

Most cricketer think the same thing of Ian and Tony Grieg well he is only there becuase of Kerry Packers Loyality to the world series players.

If we had capable batsmen it wouldn't be an issue, batsmen bat, bowlers bowl. We are blessed with having Watson & Haddin who are more than capable at more than one discipline. We've had fragile tails when we were in our twilight aswell.

Errrr, yes I do think Tony Grieg and errrrr Ian Chappell are a couple of first class flogs. Errrrrrr yes, a lot like Dermott Brereton as a commentator, errrrrr full of piss and and wind and very highly opinionated of himself and errrrrrrrrrr arrogant.

[Lightning McQueen]

Does anyone know what the two unsuccessful umpire reviews were for??

Ponting continues to overbowl DOHERTY

[The Jack]

Does anyone know what the two unsuccessful umpire reviews were for??

Trott survived a LBW referral off Siddle's bowling, as it was just sliding down leg, and Bell survived a referral for a caught behind shout, can't recall who was bowling? Apparently no hotspot evidence? And they're not allowed to use Snicko.

Everyone thought erty was a good choice.
I'm happy because Hauritz is out of the side, but if you look at Doherty's stats, he's played 36 shield games in 9 seasons and his stats are ordinary at best.

Surely if they want a left arm spinner O'Keefe is a better option.
Without looking up O'Keefes bowling stats I already know he's a better option because he averages 43 with the bat.

IMO this selection is just replacing dung with dung.

Cook Bell and Collingwood are going to put a lot of people to sleep this summer.

[locky801]

That may help Aust out Smithy, batting to slow
