well time does pass and i can't bowl off the long run, hell my knees won't let me bowl at all anymore, so i suppose it was going to happen eventually. I enjoyed bell as a batsman, when on song he was so great to watch.

irresponsible from the captain. Shame. Well it was a good enough day of cricket with the pink ball proving to be a challenge. Not sure i actually mind too much as the game has swung into a slog a thon on dead pitches with a ball that does nothing. The batsmen looked undisciplined and i enjoyed...

Yes it was not really the job for Buchanan to pull the team together. Don't get me wrong, as good a team as it was that would only have made the job that much harder but Steve Waugh was a very tough task master and was able to keep Warne in his box, even MacGill didn't like Waugh but had to suck...

Don't disagree that Symonds stuffed up, after all this is the modern professional era not the days of Chappell and walters where the twelth man was sent back to the hotel to wake Dougy up because he was next in during a tour of South Africa. Oh and he went on to make a ton. The break down with...

With you, being an old broken down bowler i have had these flat batsmens paradises. wheres the test in that

i will be it is no time for a young batsman to make their debut. This day night test is an absolute lucky dip

Well he did it. Not sure how this affects the team? he has had an ordinary 12 months but he goes out the fourth best bowler for Australia

Well, with Aus 2/171 you would say it is dying. Never know a quick collapse and we are good for it. This has been the most disappointing test in Perth since that painful track that SA chased a huge last innings on. What has happened to the WACA?

Be patient he will need time. I was not convinced about Warner, funny i am still not but he makes the runs.

Hey onya mate, hope it was a blast and a half. Well, dead pitch dead test and the funeral march is a sounding. If they really want to kill test cricket off and have the world playing modified baseball (T20) then they are doing a brilliant job. This pitch is crap utter rubbish. I have not seen a...

I seriously doubt that either the IOC or the IOC (BCCI) would allow this in the end. The sport is not international enough to make the olympics and the BCCI could not risk that another power might rise to challenge them.

Yes what were they thinking, total brain snap that cost us dearly in that series

And doesn't that spell the end for NZ. I find it strange now that we were even talking about the KIWI's giving it a run. I really thought they would show up in Perth but it seems what little was there in Brisbane went to the gold coast for holidays. Warners 200 was very good for him but i...

strong win but somehow i just don't feel convinced. NZ were a bowler down and were not on their game. Perth could be a surprise for the Aussies. And since when was the bounce in perth not good for spinners?

A few wickets falling late but still a very strong position. I feel the Kiwi's have not been able to overcome the first day and all has gone to script. This will be tested in the second test and i don't believe it will go all the Aussies way.

Got a better look today was on a flexi so got to watch the game all day. Yes the pitch has carry and enough bounce but it really seems to be a conditions thing. Every time the clouds come in the ball swings nicely and that when the wickets fell today. I actually think we struggled when the air...

Didn't think it was that flat but no doubt it is suffering the usual drop in pitch issues. The ball was swinging after tea again but NZ just didn't bowl with enough consistency. The real problem for them now is that we will amass a large score and the pressure of the chase can make any pitch...

Well strong day at home for the Aussies. Am sure NZ will come out stronger tomorrow with a chance to review what was going on. Not what i expected from them they have been so strong.

funny how that has gone today but a long way to travel till it can be seen as a success.

So excited its like xmas, the season is on. Now as to the bowler, they left Siddle out far to long in England but to be honest would not play him at home. Wrong bowler for the conditions. he doesn't have it for the conditions. To slow and not enough bounce for Aussie pitches.
