Did anyone see this with Steve Smith when he began ? Just a phenomenal performance, and that bowling was frightening.
That ball to Root was West Indies 80’s style

Beauty from Lyon to get Stoneman. I reckon that'll happen a few times this summer the way Stoneman was playing him.

Stoneman looks a good player with a real weakness against spin. Lyon is in the game here

Grab some popcorn, Nathan Lyon is going to put on a show.

There were some very emotional comments about him here on WOOF with someone even saying he should never play test cricket again. Picked as a spin bowler and batted at 8 if I recall correctly.

That's the value of Starc. Will give you a heap of crap between wicket-taking deliveries

Re: The Ashes: Test 1, The Gabba

Starc gets a good look at the tail now.

Got to get it done cheap from here. 200+ if Warner & Smith go cheaply is nearly impossible a job.

Yep and yep. 3 wickets for not many runs.

Target 170.

Re: The Ashes: Test 1, The Gabba

Love to see Bancroft and Warner take us all the way to 170

I'd settle for them getting us through to stumps without losing a wicket but as long as they get us through the first hour.

Re: The Ashes: Test 1, The Gabba

So far so good, lets hope these two continue to knuckle down

Re: The Ashes: Test 1, The Gabba

Does Bancroft's batting remind anyone else of Mike Valetta?

Re: The Ashes: Test 1, The Gabba

The difference is that the Aussies can blow away England’s lower order, whereas Englands pace attack to be brutally honest hasn’t any pace .Nice to see Bancroft and Warner see it through .
