*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Maximas]

still find it disgusting Watson has stolen Clarke's place at first slip

dude, it's Watson, we just have to accept these things will happen

 

[Burgey]

say wha?

I said the pitch is flat with very little carry. Have I missed the ball being taken throat high on the up by the keeper or something?

 

[ajdude]

reckon this series will be won by the team wearing the most power balance bands

 

[Daemon]

Starc's got the least intimidating fast bowler stare ever

 

[Maximas]

Watson to bowl first change here. Perfect for him.

he's better on up and down pitches with some reverse swing.

 

[morgieb]

and batting.

General Daniel Vettori is Rogers.

dude it's regular not general

 

[Jayzamann]

Seeing that seam position in HD just gets me all gooey. Fantastic deliveries from Pattinson and Starc to Root and Cook respectively

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Watson to bowl first change here. Perfect for him.

An early inclusion makes sense

 

[NUFAN]

It also looks like a perfect lbw for not many pitch for Watson. Burgey is right, ball keeping low.

 

[centurymaker]

isn't this first ashes series pretty meaningless

 

[The Battlers Prince]

light problems already

 

[Adders]

LOL, Pattos toughest Paddington Bear stare and Root just laughed at him.....loving it.

 

[King Pietersen]

I like Pattinson. Quick, moves it late, and aggressive, but in a natural, non forced way. Just a shame about the whole being Australian thing. Really lets him down.

 

[Pothas]

Great contribution. **** off now,

Pattinson is such an angry young man.

 

[Burgey]

Patto. So aggro. **** I love this ****.

I see now what people were saying about Root's angled bat in defence. Not always there, but that occasional length ball just outside off. He's otherwise pretty compact though.

 

[Swingpanzee]

^ikr!

Floodlights on.

 

[Spark]

Ah yes the axe-murderer returns

At last the strike rotates

just reported your post mate no need for such hostility

strauss does not have a voice for commentary

 

[Woodster]

Good testing over from Pattinson there, real good areas, good pace, good aggression, well neutralised and played by Root. Good contest now as the Aussies finding their range.
