*Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

[Craig]

Siddle's line and length is a bit inconsistent for mine.

 

[tooextracool]

Siddle has got his line wrong for most of his deliveries so far but when hes got it on target, he looks dangerous.

 

[Richard]

'Tis funny to hear Botham saying in a surprised tone "looks like [Johnson] is bowling cutters". The cutter is his stock-ball!

 

[superkingdave]

Think Australia's fielding has looked excellent today, don't look like they will be dropping any chances that come their way

Be good if Nasser stops referring to Ian Botham as 'Sir Ian'...

Yes.

Just found out that Harmison isn't playing... may aswell hand over Phillip Hughes the man of the match award now.

We're bowling good so far. 1/34 off 14 overs, and certain balls have been brutal.

[Redbacks]

The house is delivering so far! Can he keep the pressure on long enough and wait for Bopara to edge one?

Wish they'd shut up about the seam position already tbh.

 

[Richard]

Yay, a pull-shot that hits the middle of the bat.

Was left out 2 or 3 days ago mate.

It seems like that's not gonna happen.

 

[Richard]

THAT's THE FIRST DRINKS BREAK OF THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NUFAN]

Did think about it TBH but really CBA.

Think we need a dropped catches thread in due course.

Dropped catch thread is a decent idea so we can look over it in a few years time.

 

[superkingdave]

Decent over rate considering.

Time for a drinks break thread, tbh.
