series starts tomorrow
build up has been 100% about "sandpapergate" which is pretty boring and i bet SA don't even give a shit.
Day 1 at the gabba is tomorrow and for a change we aren't talking about a juicy wicket, oh, wait
"The pitch in Brisbane was looking extremely green just one day out from ball one with a healthy coverage of live grass an exciting prospect for the seamers."
Lol fuck off. Bat first score 400+
Given the recent Warner efforts, I just read a copy of 'Steve Smith's Men' by Geoff Lemon.
A bloody good read. 4 years old now, but seems to absolutely nail the situation. He writes in an engaging, fun way too, easy to read but kind of interesting. Some very good insights into what happened that stack up a few years later.
He leaves a bit of a hook with the question about what Warner knows but isn't saying about others in the team ... and that's now come out.
Recommend it, fun, light read.
also, go Sith Efrica!
Anything that whinging bitch Warner is involved in I fervently hope falls apart. So my vote is for a draw.
David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (capt), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland
Dean Elgar (capt), Sarel Erwee, Rassie van der Dussen, Temba Bavuma, Khaya Zondo, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi
Aussie chose to field
Pressure. Another 2 gone in short order. Not sure the wicket is doing that much but it is in the head of the batsmen.
Saw about 5 mins of this:
My bold prediction:

What a lovely start to the Ocker innings.
Fucking lovely.
Fern favourite Warner gone for a Golden.
Of course this means one of Smith or Labuschagne will score about a million.
Australia will still destroy them emphatically. This is not a strong SA team.
( well, actually they have some fine bowlers to be fair )

Somewhere, without even knowing why, Virgil just blew a hole in his pants...

Their bowling is stronger than their batting, and this game will be lucky to go 4 3 full days.

I’d go so far to say absolutely world class. About as good as Australias.
Batting is night and day though.

He loved a good opportunity to have a dig.
Shall I message him on Fagbook and ask him to make a special appearance on this thread ?

I'm sure he's just happy lying in a pool of his own spooge.

Yeah anyway, back to the cricket.
Worth mentioning how much I love the longest form of the game. I don’t have sky and I’m not even watching but by golly I love having a test on in the background ( of my screen, on cricinfo ) at this time of year.
