*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Spikey]

I reckon Warner and/or Usman might be called into the Aus A squad. They haven't named a replacement for Smitteh yet and they've got one or two games before the 2nd test finishes

Covers just come off the Trent Bridge pitch. Dry, dry, dry but cloud cover now! Will that change Alastair Cook's thinking at the toss??

 

[NUFAN]

No another week left after this one. Starts on Wednesday so Lord's gets a Thursday start next week. All about Lord's stuff the rest.

Cheers mate. Can't complain since we get to watch it tonight, but it could be annoying for people in England if the Test only lasts 3 or 4 days, missing out on the weekend, although it will be sell out every day presumably.

Bit surprised if Warner misses out entirely, honestly.

 

[Ruckus]

Yeah, totally valid reason to give up the advantage of batting first...

Clarke.

 

[Spikey]

Real smart move by the team to reunite the leadership combo that delivered BBL|01 to the Sydney Sixers

(lotta stuff going on in here)

 

[Ruckus]

Smitho really getting a good feel up there by O'keefe

Who is that above Rohrer...such a good troll face

 

[Flem274*]

[Spark]

Cowan tipped too. So probably Watson/Rogers Cowan Clarke Smith Warner

 

[Burgey]

Dad, is Dave Warner playing?

Don't think so mate, the people's champion is

Who's that?
