Just turned the TV commentary on to see what they are saying and far out Warnie at his superlative best - “this spell could decide the Ashes”

Channel 7. Ponting and Botham actually talking about the cricket taking place in front of them.

The best part of this tour so far is that Perth doesn't get a test.

I quite like those tests - great timing for NZ viewers

Hazelwood brilliant. On target and Root had no where to go.

Charged first ball. Love it

Come on Straya!

I was a little sick in the mouth typing that but they might just distract the cricket world from the BlackCraps if they get England out for a pathetic total.

Englands top order struggling. Shit I never saw that coming.

At 11/3 already, this series could make Mumbai look like an even contest.

Don't you normally bowl first at the Gabba if you win the toss?

It's like listening to a random bunch of drunk Aussie blokes watching the cricket.

Always bat first at the Gabba is the tradition. Nassar Hussein infamously got that one wrong in 2002 and saw Australia finish the first day 364/2...

Though when I head about the pitch being green I did wonder if it was going to be an unusually difficult decision - the ghosts of 02 vs the actual state of the pitch...

We will see what happens when Australia bats. The pitch isn't going to dry out much in these conditions.

"I could bowl out Glenn Turner with a soggy tomato."

What a cock.
