you have missed the last hour of Dave Warner (NSW) dispatching India to all parts of the WACA (an easterly day in Perth ,go to the cricket or watch telly with a cold frothy )
after the oz bowlers made the Indians look pedestrian.
BTW Ed Cowan has been very nice for a notorius leaver

Nothing like a green bouncy wicket

It's a good watch definately. Just a curious question from your average non cricket follower, how does Warner compare to Gilchrist? I remember him to be a great batsman smashing balls. Is there any comparison?

This bloke gets hit in the ear ........ Then bats on and hits two fours in a row !!!!!!

Not sure how to compare the two batsmen , .... But Gilchrist didnt hit two seagulls with one on drive !!!!!!!

yes definitely .Gilly opened on one dayers but had the luxury of an old ball and tired bowlers in test cricket.Warners got the risk of a new ball (but a nice crisp cherry on his day that flys to the boundary)Both exciting 4 sure
Warner showed his test match class in Tassie test vs NZ .Interesting times ahead

Woo hoo wot a ton /worth missing a kite session 4

100 off 69 balls, brought up with a 6

Tie for the 4th fastest 100 ever in a test.

Dead set legend

I think the Indian cricket team may have to start applying some of that zinc cream to the roof of their mouths tomorrow?

They could win 600 to nil and it would still be boring.

Tied score in the last 10sec - still boring.

Skillful blah blah - yes, but crap to watch due to the fact we have 30mins of nothing followed by 2sec of excitement repeated alllll day

sorry fellas.

Could be said about a lot of sport on tv. Watching surfing at pipeline the other day spent half the time watching 2 blokes floating around but the 2second bits are worth it.
I would be happier to watch the game if it ended 600 to nil. Go Aussies.

Stream for day 2.

And Warner is out, for 180 runs in 154 balls... haha just saw that of his 180 runs, it included him running only 1 single as well as running only 2 two's in his whole innings.

4 wickets in 7 balls after lunch - these Indians are disgrace. All over in under 2.5 days. Jokes. Well done Australia.

You know its a riverting sport when seagulls sit on the playing field.
Even funnier when the players have to start shooing them away.
Seriously though what a fkn boring arse game.

Unbelievable game, Warner just changed the rules !!!
First time I have been able to watch a whole test match (or most of it ),
Might listen to the next one on the water


Sad greeny sad
