*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Tangles]

Anderson happy to see less lefties ill bet.

 

[Maximas]

IMO the best 11 they could have picked except Starc should've made way for Bird.

#Trent Bridge: cloudier than the last few days - brighter/sunny spells developing later. a little close/humid early on. 22c #TheAshes

I live in hope that the captain who wins the toss will bowl

 

[NUFAN]

On a similar note, I'm not looking forward to people talking about how Smith's spin was a factor in his selection

Mel McLaughlin on the Fox Sports News desk just pretty much just said that, well I think that's what she said, looks smokin' tonight.

 

[Tangles]

So this means Uzi can get into the team with a media campaign driven by his gaming buddies right?

 

[Ruckus]

So I take it it will be Patto and Starc with the new ball. Will be a massive test for Starc to see if he can hold his nerves here, especially if we bowl first. Could be a few looseners.

That could work, or just getting Boof a beer might do the trick

Steve Smith always deserved to keep his spot based on India. Earning it again based on what he's done in UK doubly impressive. #cricket

Lyon out :/

 

[Ruckus]

Wat

 

[Spikey]

Lyon out :/

At the end of the day, he simply wasn't as attractive as Ashton Agar

If Smith plays Darren Lehmann has got his way. believes he is the most improved cricketer in Australia.

where is this lyon news from, and if so what the **** is malcolm conn doing

 

[ajdude]

pews is a noted troll tbh, gave me an infraction like two months ago and i didn't even know about it until a month ago, such poor courtesy

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Tactics aside, wouldn't mind seeing us bowl first. This attack worth looking at.

Sydney grade cricket hacks. Rumour definitely seems to be doing the rounds though, reckon it's legit. Agar to play here.

 

[ajdude]

multiple searches of "agar" and "lyon" on twitter doesn't come up with anything. such a troll

 

[Spikey]

wouldn't that guy who is related to nathan lyon and who you know be a source worth consulting

 

[Spikey]

It's unclear whether noted AFL player John Butcher is suggesting Agar play before Lyon in the following tweet

John Butcher ‏@JButcher_11 4h
Agar to play tonight before Lyon..... What's your thoughts? @travisboak10 @DannyButcher45 @hamharts ???

Glenn McGrath has arrived and I think he's going to be presenting a cap to an Aussie debutant! Ashton Agar to play? #ashes
