And what about the poor old Nudgee rowing crew.

James Pattinson's career reaches a new low:

Over 91.5: Pattinson to Martin, FOUR, pushed through the covers and races through the covers for four

Martin watch- 4* (15 balls)

by JGK Fri 25 Nov 2011, 02:03

All out. Starc gets 3, Patto 4.

Doug Bracewell looks like he has a decent eye.

by Henry Fri 25 Nov 2011, 02:04

Seems like he's better to watch than his Uncle.

by WideWally Fri 25 Nov 2011, 02:50

Warner showing selectors that he is not just a slogger & can play with a defensive mindset. Currently 12 off 11 balls.

Coldplay not opening the bowling? scratch

by WideWally Fri 25 Nov 2011, 03:04

Not when you have Trent "Thunder" Boult in your team.

by skully Fri 25 Nov 2011, 03:10

I'll take your word for it, W.

Would've thought Coldplay needed the shiny ball to maximise his inswing. shrug

Australia's new test opening batsman dismissed for 65.

by skully Fri 25 Nov 2011, 04:38

Aye. He's obviously done enough now as far as the NSP is concerned. Watch for a triple failure at the top of the order at the Gabba.

by skully Fri 25 Nov 2011, 04:40

Three lefty Spiv short-arses at the top of the order. Ugh.

by JGK Fri 25 Nov 2011, 04:51

Maddison out cheaply too.

Aust A to follow on here.

brought up on Perth wickets

by horace Fri 25 Nov 2011, 05:28

cowan is staking his claim with an opener's knock...the sort that invers would hopefully appreciate...pity maddison failed

by Big Dog Fri 25 Nov 2011, 07:04

At least Smith has taken himself out of the equasion for re-selection. Cowen is still playing the sheet anchor role at 55 n.o.
Dare i suggest that he is playing more like an opener than Warner?

by Big Dog Fri 25 Nov 2011, 07:36

AustA 4/187 at stumps. Cowen 60 n.o. & Wade 10 n.o. We'd better hope both batsmen go on with it because with one more wicket we are into the tail.

by lardbucket Fri 25 Nov 2011, 07:40

correct ... and if that happens we won't get another chance to 'audition' the bowlers in this game

by Henry Sat 26 Nov 2011, 01:06

A ton for Australia's answer to Andrew Strauss, the Oxford educated, and one of the few current cricketers Peter Roebuck was good friends with, Ed Cowan.

Would they? Would they dare? Can't imagine him getting on with the likes of Ponting and Clarke. Much too smart for them....

by skully Sat 26 Nov 2011, 01:42

Welly well well. A ton off a crab double for Cowans. As I said in the Test thread, you'd presume the NSP will give Warner a go, but one wonders whether a double crab ton century is a better knock than 65 in even balls.

by skully Sat 26 Nov 2011, 01:44

And Vile Matthew Wade is doing his chances of leapfrogging Timmy Paine for the keeper spot (due to Timmy's injured finger) no harm at all.

Still, I'm betting Haddit will stay. With 5 out injured, they are hardly likely to drop anyone.

by Big Dog Sat 26 Nov 2011, 05:51

Aust A fight back to be only 28 runs shy at the break. Snoozers 1/40 in their second dig with bad light delaying play.

by WideWally Sat 26 Nov 2011, 08:43

I notice that Aussie Patto batted ahead of Cutting & Starc. However, those two have both shown they can handle a bat averaging around 20 at FC level whereas Aussie Patto averages 8. Has he shown ability with the blade in grade cricket?

by Henry Sun 27 Nov 2011, 02:08

Mitchell Starc was on the field but didn't bowl at all before lunch today.

Another one crocked?
