*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

My humble opinion is that the England top order have a very strong and underrated bowling attack to face. When the weak link in the pace department is fifth ranked in the world, you know they are packing heat.

Can anyone recall a better Australian lower batting order than Pattinson, Siddle, Starc and Agar? I don't think there has ever been a better one.

AUSTRALIA A would be a decent team at the moment too.

What was that song that played as they walked to their positions? Same song Sky's been using for their Ashes ads.

Well Agar has certainly looked good, but I really fear we are going to burn up a kid. Results will tell if the selectors got it right, but I fear it's too far too soon for Ashton. Consistently said Starc is our 5 best bowler. Again hoping to be proved wrong, but I reckon it's odds on he'll have no more than 1 wicket before the 2nd new ball. Damn, I am basically hoping to be proved wrong about almost everything. Wouldn't have moved Clarke out of 5, don't have much faith in Watson at opener, and don't believe Siddle will be anything more than steady when what we need is dangerous.

So desperately hoping to be wrong about at least 4 of those 5 decisions or we're going to get pumped.

such a dilemma, i could watch it on fox sports in SD or tim gilbert-vision in HD
Yeah same here and I'm stuck on the small TV cause Million Dollar Decorators is much more important than the First Ashes Test. #cookmesomeeggs

Perhaps they are extending their options so they can reverse the order in the second innings!

Cricketer Of The Year
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon england's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of god
On england's pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from metal fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built jerusalem
In england's green and pleasant land.
