Heard the hatrick on the radio on the drive home from work. had to run from the car to the lounge room to see the upstairs decision. SWMBO didn't know wht was going on with a screech of the tyres me running up the stairs yelling out put it on channel 9 put it on channel nine.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I cannot mash that
Hmm, I'd say it's safe to say that it was a mistake to elect to bat.
Actually I'd say it isn't safe to say that until at least after Australia's innings, especially given our shocking record against the swinging ball in recent times...
A good day at the cricket yesterday.
A bit slow in the middle stages but then they got what they deserved.
Siddle was the highlight of course. From the start of that over he seemed to have lifted a notch then three rocket balls.The crowd went nuts.
Lowlights, Doherty's dropped catch and leaving the ground so quick because of sun shower.
Aussie openners looked solid. First two balls from Swann went to the fence. Runs for the taking today if the rain holds off.
Poo-poo to the Gabba.
Security policy and cops = no fun. Its getting worse There were no horns, whistles, clackers, no kids with bats and stuff to sign, probably two beach balls seen all day. Plastic cup of xxxx gold $6.60. Ground sold out but 5 bays of empty seats in the members outside area.

Just ask Nasser Hussain whether it's a good idea to bowl on a greenish Gabba wicket. If the top order applied itself, they could have put on 450+ on that deck.
Clarke didn't look fit. But Hussey was a pleasure to watch this afternoon. We should go about 150 past their score tomorrow before we have half a session at them in the afternoon.

My voice went from here to zero in the space of 3 deliveries. What a great day at the Gabba!
Shame Huss didn't double his tonnage...

Adelaide pitch is traditionally conducive to some swing early on day 1, but then flattens to an absolute road for 3 days then day 4-5 turns medium to large amounts.
The main issue is the groundsmen dragging arse and preparing shit pitches rather than sticking with the tried and true traditional pitches of Oz...
For my 2c:
Out: North & Johnson
In: Khuwaja (sp?) & Bollinger
You could easily drop Clarke (and bring in Smith for extra spin bowling) also as he aint quite right atm...
Looking forward to Sat, I will be there on the hill.

They reckon Clarke has come on this week and will be right. I get the feeling if Harris was fitter, he'd be in front of Johnson. But as it is today, you would expect Bollinger to get the call up.
