Australian Cricket Season 2018-2019

4 for 0 in 6 balls.Bowling, Garry.

2nd Test and Nathan Lyon certainly starting well. 4w for 5 runs after 6 overs has a very nice look. I assume the wicket started turning from the first ball.

If you are like me and don't have Foxtel (cancelled it recently ) you can watch the 4 wickets in the link below : Cricket | Fox Sports Videos

Strong start by Australia, but as usual I'm disappointed that the marsh brothers are in the team, sometimes it's harder to get dropped from the team than it is to be selected.

I'm guessing Australia will win this test regardless of their contribution (which i think will be little, ), thus ensuring they will be selected again, ad nauseum.

Only for some.

I heard them referred to last week as the "photo twins".

When asked "what that meant?", the reply was they must have some compromising photographs of the selectors.

It’s always about the photos.

Great to see Gazza doing well though

Good start but into the middle order already.

Good start but into the middle order already.

As the Marsh brothers are next up is it the middle order or the tail? On a more positive and optimistic note, if they are ever going to perform now is the moment.

One opener dismissed hardly constitutes middle order

One opener and a night watchman isn't middle order.

It does when you have MMarsh in at 4

haha, but he's not in yet..so we aren't into the middle order

Haha, fair point.

As Siddle has outscored both the Marsh brothers so far this series maybe it is the middle order ? (ducks for cover!)

I was trying to be nice but you're right. Very good start and great opportunity for a win in UAE. With 12 wickets on first day you'd think there'll be a result in the match?

Big call given we havent batted yet.

Yep I agree, probably being too sure of myself, but I just have a feeling, maybe it's the greener wicket, dunno, but one can always live in hope.

Pakistan have been known to fold in the past when things don't go their way, i.e., they really should have won the first test.
Maybe under Mickey Arthur things will be different.

Caught at slip nibbling at a ball he shouldn't have, why does it feel like I've seen that before

 

[cjd600]

NOW we're into the middle order
