We started well, haven't been able to back it up in the 2nd session so far.
Yeah...only cost 134 runs..well done Brad. 7-340 is Ok in the end, need to skittle the tail rather quickly though.
That wasn't a pitch either, it was a cold bread pudding. Balls bouncing twice to the keeper in the first over of a test match. Bodes well for no bowler.

Bowling was very inconsistent.... Jaffas mixed with overpitched trash. Awful pitch for our pacemen, classic home team manipulation.

It's just not good enough Test Match bowling from the leftys....as usual from Starc. Hazelwood bowled well. Trouble is, Starc always seems to bowl just enough wicket takers to get him a couple of ......and a whole lot of garbage with no pressure on for the rest of it. Honestly, I'd prefer Sidds & Hazelwood in England. The pitches are not going to suit Johnson at all, deliberately of course, but you can't afford to have both he & Starc in the same side.
I hope Cummings gets a run in one of the Tests....although if he does it will be if we are well under the pump & 1 or tests down !

I watched till after lunch, didn't think we bowled well, but apart from Root they didn't bat very well either. If Gary Ballance is #3 we don't have too much to worry about.
Reckon we will post a big score and skittle the poms in the 2nd innings.

Particularly on pitches like that :
Starc and Johnson are wicket takers but they are expensive and not suited to pitches that take the pace out of the ball. Siddle tying up one end would put more pressure on the batsmen.

Thought Stokes and Ali threw the blade ok as well as Root who batted brilliantly IMO....all the talk of 5-0 has made us a bit soft in approach IMO, we lacked venom and hunger
and looked like we thought it was just a case of rocking up and the Poms would surrender.
Seen Glaciers move faster than Watto in the field and the sooner M. Marsh is in the team the better...
If Root can make it look easy so can our batters ie Warner , Smith etc although runs on the board like England have does always create pressure.....we can still win the game and while
England have their nose in front it was more of a case us of us playing poorly than them being anything special..Root aside.....maybe Warner can keep his mouth shut next time as Root looked like he had a point to prove.
re: Gary Ballance.....another English boring barnacle with no shots apart from the outside edge through slips...reckon the English supporters would have been glad he got out as well...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-09-2015
Englands tail is flogging our bowling...playing Ali at No 8 has really messed with our bowlers, he is an opener by trade and we just seemed to have bowled at him like a tailender and its really cost us. Hope playing eight batsman cost England though when they have to bowl as Ali is just a part timer and should be easy pickings on this wicket.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crazyjoedevolamk11 - 07-09-2015
If the Aussies ever get to bat on this road....probably about lunchtime tomorrow the way it's going....watch em F..K it up.....very unimpressed with what is going on so far....bowlers cannot find a line...therefore 9/420 odd...how these flogs have put on nearly 100 this morning is beyond me...new ball too:-(
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - cimm1979 - 07-09-2015
If we lose this test Haddin should be dropped.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crazyjoedevolamk11 - 07-09-2015
Oh ...and why has Clarke got Johnson 3/4s to the fence at mid off...cost him 2 catches so far..coulda been batting 20 minutes ago...A1 Skipper!
