I'm a nervous wreck.
Filled with hope and expectation, only to have the ghosts of past oz campaign's stampede my new found admiration.

I've got low to no expectations. Hardly anyone wins test series in Aus. 4 in the last 10 years

Replying to myself, but that streak from teh Windies in 93/94 to SA in 08/09 is ridiculous. Ridiculous.

booboo

Aust won the toss and are batting. There's a surprise!

Ferguson is playing.

Flinging down 140kmh rocks in 38°C - fuck that

Some good shape from Southee

The numbers on the backs of shirts look shit.

They're black. Surely that counts for something?

Wagner v Warner at some stage this series will be well worth watching

mariner4life

less than 130km an hour isn't going to cut it in Aus

Not looking remotely ominous from Warner.

CdG might need a golden arm afternoon.

We should have requested this series to be played in England.. and with Stuart Broad on our side..

Chris B.

Not even an hour in and Oz at $1.20 to win. Us at $7.40 - with a draw also at $7.40.

That's saying the Oz quicks will be effective where our boys won't be - plus Lyons will get to bowl on the final day pitch if required.

That draw money might be worth a sniff with the heat likely to take its toll on the bowlers.

CdG and Wagner look a lot bette rthan Ferguson and Southee. FML.

No Quarter

Donsteppa

It’s not all about speed. Tight cricket, build pressure. Vary the options.
