The Queensland Cricket Association must have thought highly of this Scratch Match to have it farmed out to the Gold Coast.

What was the Attendance Figure?

Well done Marn and Smudge on their double tons

Butt Head wasted a perfect opportunity to score a century…

[BenDoolan]

Awesome achievement by Marnus Labuschagne. Double century and a century in one Test. Only the third Australian in history to achieve that feat. Doug Walters was the first (242 & 103 vs West Indies), Greg Chappell the second (247* & 133 vs New Zealand).

He also moved into the top 10 of highest runs scored in a Test for Australia…

426 Mark Taylor (334*, 92)
380 Matthew Hayden (380)
380 Greg Chappell (247*, 133)
345 Doug Walters (242, 103)
335 David Warner (335*)
334 Don Bradman (334)
329 Michael Clarke (329*)
321 Don Bradman (244, 77)
315 Bob Simpson (311, 4*)
308 Marnus Labuschagne (204, 104*)
304 Don Bradman (304)
303 Allan Border (150*, 153)
300 Matthew Hayden (197, 103)

Patto Cummo in doubt for 2nd Test on Thursday.

Selectors call in Lance “Wild Thing” Morris as back up. He’s your man Grassy. The guy you announced as the next Jeff Thomson a couple of years ago!

He’ll most likely miss out to the LEGENDARY Scott Boland though.

No problem there Benny.I’d Love to see Both Bowling together in the Test Team,particularly England.The Poms might think twice about juicing up their Pitches then,for our dodgy batting line-up.

[F111]

Cummins out.
Boland IN!

Hopefully the second test can be a bit better to watch.

Good to see a reasonable crowd in at the Adelaide ground

As for Warner?

Now then buddy,who’s Dirty Laundry are you talking about?

Wait just a second,it wouldn’t be Your’s by any chance would it?

Time you toddled off into the Sunset methinks!

Time you toddled off into the Sunset methinks!

Warner claims a couple of execs from the ACB agreed with/authorized his statement to use sandpaper in the dressing room in Sth Africa.

[s'dreams]

Can Australia just authorize the follow on and stop this make them bat nonsense?

Methinks it is just to make the game go an extra day and to sell more beer and pies.

How many years down the Road is he and his Manager making this claim?When they had the chance to make that claim years earlier,why didn’t they?
