As an absolute cricket tragic (look up "Don Tallon Bar" on facebook..).,
am loving this...
unfortunately with the sledging what wasnt reported was Anderson telling Bailey that he was going to get his face smashed in..
and it was to that, that Michael Clarke was responding to...
there is a heap of examples from both sides that are just as bad, if not worse..
The stump mic's are supposed to be turned off between overs, and thats when both teams usually go their worst...
the television station involved paid Clarkes fine...
anyhoo...
not sure where England go to from here, they need to win the toss at least...
and as Ian Bell has showed...put a little more worth on their wicket, Peterson has again showed
he'd rather play for himself rather than the team situation, Anderson in my opinion looks down and doesnt seem to be bowling well
if Broad has a bad bowling match...who will take the wickets..? Swann hasn't seemed effective yet, nor Monty,...
the only change will probably be Tremlett in for Monty on the bouncier Perth pitch next Test with maybe Bresnan given a go
either way, am enjoying it while it lasts...as Im sure the shoe will be on the other foot soon enough and ill have to grimmace while reading the inevitable comments...
for 29 years in a row Ive been to the first day of the first test in Brisbane, with the last 20 of those organizing a tour group
that has averaged around 250 people on the day, capped at 300...(this year was 285...)
gotta go, Mitch is taking wickets...
