The Ashes | First Test | Brisbane | Day 1 | 25-Nov-2010

[On_the_up]

Edged for 4, lucky runs

 

[Random Aussie]

How's Mitch Johnson bowling? I haven't been able to catch much of the action.

Horrible.

 

[Random Aussie]

Hilf and MJ have been pretty poor today.

The questionable selections Siddle and Doherty have been excellent. Swan is going to turn the ball a freaking mile on this pitch though....

 

[cricfan967]

whacked

 

[cricfan967]

Gone! Siddle strike, Cook goes!

 

[OZGOD]

Siddle strikes again, Cookie for 67

 

[cricfan967]

Bowled in!!!!
Siddle on a hat trick! What an absolute beaut

 

[On_the_up]

Siddle the destroyer. Poor shot.

 

[Amir]

BRILLIANT!!! Let's go AussieS!

WALTZING MATILDA!!

Stop crying. We just had two fantastic bowlers like that, who have yet to be banned. Even then, we always find another.

 

[ads101]

oh prior. This guy is great at home, but away he doesn't put in the batting performances like he should. Needs to really work on it.

 

[Fawad2010]

Thank You, Come Again

 

[cricfan967]

Beast vs Barbie

 

[Amir]

Please get this k.uta broad out.

 

[OZGOD]

The United Nations XI is in a bit of bother. Can they run through? Or can the United Nations XI recover?

 

[On_the_up]

Siddle against Broad, this should be interesting.

 

[Fawad2010]

Siddle, Man of the Day!

Awesome bowling!

 

[ads101]

Come on Bell. You're the last hope

 

[OZGOD]

Bambi at the crease.

 

[cricfan967]

Happy Birthday Siddle

 

[On_the_up]

Hatrick!

 

[cricfan967]

GONE!! Siddle has a hat trick!!!!!

[Zamee]

LOL @ bRoad for reviewing it =D

 

[Amir]

Couldn't have been a better batsmen for it to happen to for the hat trick ball.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Hatrick!!! But the United Nations XI challenge it!

united nations XI

 

[Fawad2010]

I am over the Mooon!


Siddle, you made us wait but did not disappoint!!

BRING IT POMS!!

 

[jattafridi]

Please get this k.uta broad out.

Go Australia

 

[cricfan967]

That yorker was an absolute Pearler.

 

[Amir]

Let's get Swann out too now. Get them under 250. Swann gonna like this wicket. Batting less will be tricky.

 

[atif.raza]

This is the first hattrick i have seen live in a cricket match. What a moment

 

[Amir]

Isn't that a special type of hat-trick? It was a catch, bowled and LBW. What's the name for that?

 

[insaftak]

Amazing bowling by siddle. great umpiring by Aleem dar

 

[ads101]

Just keep Bell on strike Swann. Bell's looking good. Need not to loose anymore wickets.

I don't want to be 220/9 with the prospect of Finn batting at the one end

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Alim Dar Given a Great LBW.. At First I thought It was out side of Leg stump, but Review Made that clear and Broad the lady gone on the Hat-trick Ball.. Well Done Siddle Great Birthday Present for himself....

 

[OZGOD]

And Warney called the hatrick! Geez Warney's a good reader of the game.

 

[Wised up]

wow! this is the best I have seen an aussie bowl in past a couple of years. He is pitching it full and that's the key.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Classy from Bell

 

[Noork85]

:4 bell

 

[Noork85]

202/7

 

[atif.raza]

wow! this is the best I have seen an aussie bowl in past a couple of years. He is pitching it full and that's the key.

what Pakistan would do to have a bowler like him today

 

[Noork85]

205/7

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

awesome desicion by Sir Aleem Dar

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Aussie Needs to Make sure that Eng are restricted inside 250 and their Tail-enders get out as soon as possible.. Swann is the biggest threat for Aussie Now..

 

[cricfan967]

good 50 by Bell.
Whata day of Cricket! Been following it since the first minute

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Good fighting fifty from bell

 

[Noork85]

Bell 50* probably the most afluent 50 from englands side. Cooked scratched for it

 

[jattafridi]

just need wicket of bell

come on Australia

 

[ads101]

Good on Bell. Perhaps the only batsman who's looked relatively untroubled in this innings. If Cook had been caught when he should have he's the only one who would have got past 50.

Hopefully he can convert this into a century. Doesn't look like the rabbit in the headlights anymore.

 

[Noork85]

212/7 target swann i say. And get anderson

 

[ads101]

Bell 50* probably the most afluent 50 from englands side. Cooked scratched for it

agree.

 

[Noork85]

Swann off the mark wwith 3. Drinks break

 

[ads101]

212/7 target swann i say. And get anderson

swann's the only one left apart from bell. Anderson's looked terrible with the bat recently. the less said on Finn's batting prowess the better. Averages under 6 in first class cricket ;(

Hope mitch can get a wicket here

 

[Noork85]

Almost!

 

[ads101]

Should have been dropped. Fine include siddle but bollinger did nothing to deserve to get dropped. Has been one of the most devastating fast bowlers in recent times, averaging just over 20. More importantly he's excellent in Australia.

Very unhappy, Bollinger's a hard working, consistent cricketer. He'll probably be back next test though hopefully.

 

[Noork85]

Mitch getting a phainty

 

[PakPosheeda]

Bell looks as good as anyone.

 

[Poison]

What a hat trick ball by Siddle.

 

[Fawad2010]

was that an untimely change?
Maybe Aus needed to stick with Siddle for another couple of overs...

 

[Strike!]

Johnson's bowling. )

 

[Noork85]

I think england will make it to 275

 

[cricfan967]

Gone! Siddle is too good!

 

[Noork85]

Yessss

 

[OZGOD]

Swann Siddle has six

 

[cricfan967]

Referred, that looked absolutely plumb.

 

[Noork85]

What a bday for siddle
