*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Cricket Brain]

Much better there from Siddle. I guess the change of end worked. Good captaincy from Clarke

 

[NUFAN]

He was utter garbage and released any semblance of pressure

Mind you, it was hard to predict as he bowled so well in the lead up games

Never write off a champion

 

[King Pietersen]

Good ball that. Nipped away in the air late, and was very full. Time for KP to smack them around Trent Bridge for the rest of the day. Agar to be brought on immediately.

 

[Edged&Taken]

Joe's been upRooted !

 

[morgieb]

Siddle!

Tempted to make a Root joke, buti ti's too cheap IMO.

 

[ajdude]

Michael Clarke's wicket imo

quick bump that thread

 

[Furball]

Did Siddle even mean to do that

Nah he was trying to bowl a half tracker wide down leg side and got it horribly wrong.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

he's started moving the ball finally

 

[Tangles]

Beefy on crack. ****ty dismissal for a set opener imo.

 

[Cooky Monster]

KP, looking forward to this, if he gets out cheaply i have a horible feeling Oz will be batting by the end of the day.

 

[Spikey]

Nah he was trying to bowl a half tracker wide down leg side and got it horribly wrong.

his hattrick ball was supposed to land somewhere else though, iirc

 

[Woodster]

Beauty from Siddle to clean up Root, after his first spell that kind of delivery must have come as a real surprise!

 

[Burgey]

Can't recall Siddle consistently swinging the ball as much as this before.

 

[Maximas]

Nah he was trying to bowl a half tracker wide down leg side and got it horribly wrong.

Siddle is already the new MJ

 

[NUFAN]

I really was very confident about Siddle vs Root, so pleased, 78-2 looks miles better than 78-1.

Siddle now draws level with Ravi Shastri in equal 91st place on 151 Test Wickets.

 

[Furball]

he's started moving the ball finally

He got it moving in England last time.

That was unplayable. Root had that covered then the ball just decided to go round his bat and hit the stumps.

 

[Backlash]

Trying to give this a shot. Meant to be the Ashes but there are two South Africans out there batting.

Bit of a joke isn't it.

 

[Ruckus]

his hattrick ball was supposed to land somewhere else though, iirc

pretty similar to his hattrick ball actually

Quite.

Yes hilarious and not at all boring.
