1st Ashes Test Australia v England - Brisbane

[Pavilionaire]

Nervy edge from Bailey there, inches away from Cook at slip.

 

[pasty]

Loved the slowmo of Warner's wicket. His face as the ball goes straight to KP is brilliant.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Brilliant imagery. He knew he was out as soon as he hit it.

 

[pasty]

Woohoo. Jimmy getting in the action now. 100/5

 

[Pavilionaire]

As the late great Tony Gregg would have said: "Got him! Anderson comes to the party!"

 

[beardy gull]

Lunch , pretty happy with that , pitch looks a belter , id be happy with a 240-6ish come close of play

Not any more you wouldn't!!

 

[pasty]

It's gone very quiet all of a sudden. Surprised the barmy army aren't making more noise to be honest.

 

[Ali_rrr]

If we get Haddin and Smith out soon, I can see us winning this.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Warne using the word "timid" three times to describe Australia's batting.

 

[Billy the Fish]

You've got to take your hat off to all 3 seamers, not many lose balls has kept the pressure on.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Tremlett grabs a hat, a drink and a sausage roll and now he's come to the party. 50th test wicket for the big man.

 

[pasty]

Looking rather good at the moment. Lets just hope we can finish them off fairly quickly.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Into the tail now, I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson and Siddle play a few shots.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Haddin is a gutsy character, he is capable of getting them out of a tight spot and posting a 250+ total.

 

[Pavilionaire]

That's me, bed. Good work nightowls, see you for Day 2.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Game has slowed down a bit after tea, ball is old and bowlers are tiring. Just playing out until the new ball now, got to hope the batsmen make a mistake

 

[edna krabappel]

Well that wasn't too bad to wake up to. Can't help wondering how the Brisbane Courier are going to report on this without mentioning (four wickets) Broad, as per their stated policy

 

[Surf's Up]

Just got up, excellent progress but the pitch is looking pretty docile - what on earth happened to the Aussie batting!!!

 

[Beach Hut]

Siddle out

 

[pasty]

Says something when ultimately you're disappointed at 273/8 after day 1 at The Gabba. Fantastic I know, but considering we had them at 132/6.....
