*Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

[S Chanderpaul]

There we go.

Get Jimmy and Collingwood knighted right this minute!

 

[Jamee999]

Surely that must be the match.

 

[Burgey]

Well, this now goes down with Mintgate, Bodyline and other English scandal, as blatant timewasting yesterday morning and this arvo saves the game for them.

 

[Nate]

Monty, you star.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That was a hilarious watch.

 

[ripper868]

**** it. How can you claim a draw when you are so obviously beaten....needs to be a rule that all overs are bowled including sessions lost to rain. Filthy right meow...Congrats to collwood and monty...****s.

Goodnight. am fuming.

 

[Uppercut]

Great day's cricket. Absolute thriller.

Let the flamewar commence.

 

[pskov]

Did Bumble just say R.I.P. Shane Warne?

 

[Demolition Man]

Yeah, sure Aussie wouldn't have done it

I would hope they wouldn;t have done that, no problems with the guy coming out once, but then an over later, with the manboobs training doing nothing at all but wasting time.
Regardless don;t think it would have made a difference.,

I would say well played England for hanging on, but let's be honest they were absolutely ****e for the most part and owe their draw to rain yesterday and one batsman today - Paul Collingwood. It never should have gotten this close on this pitch and the fact that two tailenders were put in this positions says a lot about their batting lineup. Monty Panesar showed more gumption then most of their batsmen.

From Australia's perspective - 19 wickets on a disgustingly flat pitch with time lost is quite good even though the bowling wasn't great at times.

The game didn't deserve this ending. Was boring as bat**** for the most part and that's been covered up now.

 

[King Pietersen]

Get in We deserved that, outplayed them in every session of every day. What a performance..........

 

[Beleg]

so chuffed. POOOOMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

 

[Burgey]

Jimmy, you make me so gay

Anderson in redundancy shocker........

 

[Jarquis]

YESSSSS!
Can't celbrate too much but ....... YESSSSS!
Means I'm still in the last man standing competition
Jeez, such a massive let off TBH.

Jimmy Anderson
Although I'd appreaciate a 10wicket match just as much

 

[Jamee999]

Now let's go do this again another four times.

I don't think my heart is going to take it this summer.

[Nate]

Nah look, loved this Test Match. Wasn't always classy, but what a contest and finish. Collingwood, Anderson and Monty were just awesome at the end. Well played England to hang on.
