I cannot believe he lost the toss. It was so obviously tails. Steve was so much better at the toss.

If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

Didn't turn on the tv until they broke for lunch after bad experiences at previous matches .
So 93 for 1 at lunch, promising start.woody U.K.

Why is Gillespie playing?
Much as I am an admirerer of his past deeds I think he's done nothing on this tour and it's time the indulgence stopped.
Perhaps it's just that Punter doesn't know how to get the best out of his troops?
Why didn't he bowl Warney before lunch?

Well, it's now tea on the first day... the track is flat as a F'n biccie.. & we have more fast bowlers than batsman & no fielders... I think we are F'd.... yet again...

Bloody good question. Originally Posted by craigb

I couldn't watch it after the frist one went down. Originally Posted by craigb

Agreed. In fact I'd go as far as to say Kasper should be there before Bubble Boy. Kasper gets a bad rap from a lot of critics but he's quite handy in the field and he gets wickets too.Why is Gillespie playing?
Much as I am an admirerer of his past deeds I think he's done nothing on this tour and it's time the indulgence stopped.
Anyway, we (supposedly) have batsmen there who are all capable of century plus scores. We just have to hope they don't collapse again."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

It hurts to see Dizzy being hit around the ground, as he's one of my favourite players. Would like to see Kasper have a shot.
But oh, those dropped catches and not puting Shaaaaaaane on earlier. And sending the Poms in last time. Is this the start of the slippery slope?

Ahhh come on boys. The other teams are allowed to do well occasionally. Cripes, do you realise we've probably got blokes in our team who've never played a five day test? Played lots of tests that were supposed to go five days, but which didn't.
