*Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

[King Pietersen]

Cracking start Broad =/. If you can't get it straight over the wicket, go round.

Hughes facing first. Interesting.

I was watching an interview of Hughesy today, and during that he mentioned that he has come to an agreement with Katich, that he would face the first ball of the innings in every test, as long as Katich keeps filling in for him as short-leg fielder.

Actually, make it 10 mins before tea.

Broad to become a specialist batsman within 3 seasons.

 

[Jono]

That montage of Harmison vs. Hughes was awesome.

 

[vicky]

Broad playing the Hauritz role... hughes to attempt the paddle sweep any minute now...

 

[duffer]

Broad to become a specialist batsman within 3 seasons.

Heh.

 

[GIMH]

So when can we expect Stuart Broad to stop being "potential" with the ball and actually getting his numbers down?

His numbers have fallen by about ten in 09, so...

Sounds a bit grim from him so far mind you.

Brilliant from the tail though. Bowlers have plenty of runs to play with, hope they make it count...

 

[Top_Cat]

Far out, bit harsh to call that a wide..

 

[GIMH]

Hughes is on fire, let's get him out, please

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Shoooot

 

[superkingdave]

Broad has to go round the wicket.

 

[Chubb]

Hughes will score a ton.

 

[Top_Cat]

Oh well, looks like the English will have to learn the hard way not to put it short and outside Hughe's off-stump. Not that the teams who played against Steve Waugh ever did either so I don't have much faith....

 

[King Pietersen]

Did Harmison bounce Hughes out? Can't say they've mentioned it before now......

Another crap ball from Broad. Get round the wicket or get Freddie on.

 

[Austin3169]

Hughes is looking good at the moment.

Anderson is bowling well to Hughes. Pitching it up, getting some swing, the perfect line for the swing as well. Broad on the other hand, well from Hughes fan point of view, he's going great.

Hughes will score a ton.

He's back foot cover driving balls that are near his body. I'm not sure how long that will work. But hey, I hope he gets a 300.

 

[King Pietersen]

Interesting bringing Swann in to bowl the 6th over of the innings. Wonder how he'll go.
