So the leaks last night were spot on. Shaun marsh, seriously what the fuck. Strong bowling line-up but not a lot of confidence in the batting, steve smith just can't keep doing it all.

1-17 now after 7 overs. sfa swing or seam movement, looks a great batting deck actually with a fast outfield.

Damn I havent posted in here in a few years.

What the hell kind of wicket are they playing on? The batsmen look all snug and comfy out there.

Yeah the pitch is pretty slow and docile, not threatening at all. Needs a bit of qld sun on it

Except perhaps, for Alastair Cook...

[DoggiesBoy]

1-44 after 17, gary is bowling now

 

[DoggiesBoy]

1-52 after 23, england going along pretty slowly but don't look overly troubled by too much.

 

[DoggiesBoy]

1-59 at lunch. Slow session by england but with only one down i think they won that one, both batsman are very set and it's really only gary that looked like taking a wicket. The pitch has played very slow for a gabba pitch. You can watch the game now @CroydonDog?
