Thread: Cricket scores around the world

^ Scored a first-class century more recently than a wicketkeeper who has kept wicket in three games over the last two years but is in Australia's Ashes squad.

Wow.

Starts Thursday Aussies will win the series

Full team

JE Root (Captain), AN Cook, MD Stoneman, JM Vince, DJ Malan, MM Ali, JM Bairstow (wkt), CR Woakes, JT Ball, SCJ Broad, JM Anderson

Glenn Maxwell on standby for Australia after Shaun Marsh hurts back

England wins the toss

Warne and Marsh are playing

England have gone with Ball (who ever he is)

Weather is cool (for the Gabba) and not 'sticky'

Possible showers over the Week-end

I'm there on Saturday ... bring it on!

Cook bowled Starc 1/4

59/1 at lunch.

An unruffled start for England. Where has James Vince been hanging out until now?

Imperious.

Starc's bowling looking about as intimidating as his weedy 'tache.

^ That tach isn't something to crow about ... but it is Movember.

Covers are on ... a passing shower.

Weather Radar = 64 km Brisbane (Mt Stapylton) Radar Loop

Look for Brisbane Ap .. that's close enough.

Pitch is slower then anticipated ... a little tacky.

Great to see Warne back 11 years after retirement.

^ Good pick-up ... I hope Australia's fielding can match.

Cough ... can I buy an 'R'

WarneR has overcome his neck strain.

So, the Showers lasted longer then expected but thankfully play has resumed.

So, it's Hazlewood into Vince on 49.


England are 1/81 off 37 overs ... ticking over @ just more then 2 runs an over.

Are England playing for the draw on Day 1?

Aussies need to get Lyon back on and quick.

Well, it's drinks ... which means it's time for a beer for me.

England has crawled to 1/101,

Stoneman is 42 off 123 deliveries

Vince has secured his 1/2 Century off 120 deliveries.

My grass has grown a little ...

afternoon sports lovers - anybody have a link to a good stream?

Australia v England

^ Good link

It's camomile and cucumber sangers now.

Last over before Tea, England lost a second wicket.

Stoneman's gone, bowled Cummings for 53 runs from a stout 159 deliveries


Which brings the English Captain Khun Root to the pitch.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT cries the Barmy Army.


England @ Tea are 2 / 128

Warner gone!!!!

59/3

WOOHOO!!!




This just got rather interesting...let's hear all the Aussie chat now.

Mate!

Finely balanced but the poms need to get Smith out sharpish or they'll build a lead.

Commentary is again excellent from BT.

Yes, a great relief to not have to listen to Ian Healy flogging cricket Australia tat on 9.

Alyssa is no different.

England leading by 125 with 5 wickets in hand.

This match has to be perfectly even right now.

Australia will be concerned about what a pussycat the supposed tiger Starc has been.

Can he bowl with a ball more than ten overs old?

Not any more unless they can produce a miracle with the ball.
