I love my test cricket, so much so I've taken the week off to watch it.
Australia have a great start at the Gabba with two out already on a pitch with a lot in it.
GO AUSSIES...smash those Poms!

"Did you manage to read past the first line before you, yet again, couldn't wait any longer to jump to the defence of this poorly run club. I'm not surprised at all. You enjoying this season Coryn?"
"That's what I'm thinking, he's shown no real signs of leaving just the player manager trying to get him a good deal. Gutho teaching him the flb spot is a bonus yeah. "

"This is the problem though - we are very good at being in the game for "most of the match" and not the whole match.

"I don't think half the people here actually watch Parra games. It was clear to all and sundry that we had the team to do at least 80% right. The other 20% we know comes from players sitting on the bench. This change is coming off some mental…"
"BA should have a serious one on one talk with Lane and ask him if he is still interested in playing footy or be a Paychologist. Right now, Lane seems disinterested. "
"He seems too slow to be a genuine threat to me. He has skills of a halfback, but lacks the athleticism to be dominant in the NRL. "
"Eels players spacing in attack needs some serious review. They are frequently crowding each other. Unfortunately it was the reverse in their defence. They have big gaps in between and that Sivo rushing defence should have been corrected a long time. "
"That's not what I saw. Sivo was so deep on one play that Sanders' pass went over the sideline. He was too deep in the line, not standing in a flat line at all."
"You would need to know first who we chased vs who's Manager approached Parra first. There's not too many players where the club actually openly states they are chasing their signature, so you can't read too much into what the media say. For Lomax,…"

Danny Weidler
How come whenever we see Danny Weidler on the news interviewing players, he has to have his big boof head front and centre of the shot. It's almost as if he is the star - has he ever played league....it just annoys me.

All signs point to Blaize staying.
Based on the comments from both BA and Blaize doesn't seem like he wants to leave the club at all. Eels have offered him a 3 year deal as well, plus he will have the best shot to play fullback at parra which seems to be his preference. His speed and…

Waiting for luck!?
All I heard in the press conference from BA and Paulo is we need a bit of luck and waiting for the bounce of the ball to go our way. If we're relying on luck and the bounce of the ball to win games, we're stuffed. That's a sign of a team and a coach…

This should be a cracker of a series.
Should be a walk in the park for Aus. Baring weather, it's should end 5-0.
England batting weak, Anderson, Broad and Archer out makes the bowling even weaker.
Ist ball of the entire series. This is as bad as when Harmison sent the first ball to 4th slip. 5-0 here we come.
Cricket has largely become a game where sides only win in home conditions and England are the ultimate home conditions side. James Anderson, arguably their best ever bowler, is a grade level trundler with a Kookaburra ball.
I reckon Hazlewood or Smith for man of the series. I'm not silly enough to predict a 5-0 whitewash after last summer.
This pitch is fast, bouncy and swinging. England in big trouble.
Well that sounds just spiffing.
Die, Pom
I was at the game yesterday, right above the Barmy Army. Shoulda heard the roar after Mitch knocked over Rory Burns.
