The Ashes 2006/07: The Brisbane Test Thread (Day 1)

[John]

Good start by Australia especially Langer.
Atherton mentions the build up to the Ashes. I read an article about this during the 2005 Ashes so its not really an excuse if people were pointing out the shedule 18 months ago.

Sadly it isn't a one-off though,he bowls dross like that on a regular basis.

pretty disappointing. will save my panesar rant for later but really very unimpressed. Halelujah. a maiden

[Beny]

I think we can probebly just put England's bowling down to Nerves and a very good batting pitch... I'd be keen to bring Harmison back.

You want to up the run rate again do you?

Australia are getting the runs - but sooner or later Hoggard has to get an edge., Anderson now bowing a good line.

One would hope that this is the case.

It is still very early to say, but any punt on what the score will be at the end of day 1?

Beny he could go for some, and get a couple of edges - can't tell these days with Harmison, he is hardly GBH though.

Langer having loads of luck this morning.Hoggard having none.

[Mr Hutt]

To me Hayden looks totally out of form, Langers batting well and there is absolutely 0 movement... its gonna be a long day in the field for england im afraid
