The Official Brisbane Test Thread

[jmk89]

Silent,

I had no idea that you were old enough to know 'Lili Marlene'

In the spirit of the quote 'The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey', there was of course the moment of rhyming dismissal:
'Lillee ct Willey b Dilley'

So if we bring DKL back, I say that we need Graham Dilley and Peter Willey to complete the cast....

Their mettle, Wongo, their mettle. ( and how much whinging can a pom provide with minimum feather ruffling, sorry Wendy).

We won the Toss

Aussies to bat.

Poms in trouble already

Nasser Hussain is in the middle and giving his pitch report. It's about 29 degrees and an 8mph wind coming from the north. The surface is dry and there are cracks on it, and the consensus is that the pitch will play well for a couple of days before the cracks open up, and thereafter there will be uneven bounce for the quick men ... not to mention what Warne will do.

As a newby to this thread, is the score going to be regularly posted or will I have to resort to the ABC?
