Hmmmmm ......21 wickets in the first day and a half of the test . Wicket must be a road

I said in an earlier post on this thread that SOK would challenge Starc as top oz wicket taker in this series.  He has similarities to Jadeja and Herath so how bad could he be !!? Those who say he is nothing more than a club bowler might think twice now . Afterall,  his first class stats ( bowling on unhelpful oz tracks mind) isn't a fluke and has been consistent over many years now .

SoK, after lunch, showed he's probably a better bowler than Jadeja. He got his wickets due to the drift he gets. Jadeja doesn't really get any drift

If Australia gets a lead of 250 then it's going to bloody tough to get based on how much it's turning half way through day 2

Was wrong looks like he will. Perfect time for warner to tee off and take this game away

Warner doesn't survive the first over

These two posts combined are the funniest I've read in a while hahaha

If it happens on a green top no one has any issues, seems it's only an issue when it happens in Asia

Massive difference between the two.

The difference is that green tops aren't crumbling before a balls has even been bowled.

I don't hate Australia, they are just our rivals going back years. 

don't want to read anymore posts about the pitch

Australia are away and have to play on whatever they are given, same as teams coming here and they get seaming tracks

So massive credit to the Aussies due here

so far, they have been superb, yes only the first match and all that....

For Aussie fans, predictions of doom are rather like a particularly wet fart - you're equally glad when either one doesn't actually follow through.

Both marsh's proving great additions in this test........(could be in the same boat with 9 men)

Renshaw not opening must have a dose of the squirts.

He was off the field I think and had to wait an amount of time before he can bat, I am almost certain I didn't dream hearing that.

you are almost certainly right .

interesting to read Borders comments about Renshaw being off the field. He is the captain who hammered Jones years ago for being sick on the field

tough bloke Border  we should have a 'hardest Aussie' thread
