*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Burgey]

Pitch it up ****

 

[Cabinet96]

Would it not make more sense for the counter to show revs per second?

Yeah it would IMO. 2000 revs per minute is about 33 per second, if you want a quick conversion.

I really like the idea. Fast bowlers have things recording how fast they bowl, so why not have things that record how much spin spinners are putting on the ball?

 

[Spikey]

Bit confused as to why Agar was fasttracked ahead of Lyon here...I mean he looks a decent bowler, but def not so good to justify his inclusion over Lyon, who is no doubt pretty gutted about being left out like this.

pfft tell someone who cares

 

[grecian]

How can you not love Ian Bell

 

[Maximas]

What a match to make your test debut for this Agar kid. If he gets belted all over in test it could damage him like so many other Aussie offies of the last few years.

wouldn't be so bad if Clarke just gave him a deep point

 

[Burgey]

Cowan must have the squirts. Playing in white too.

It can be a cruel game.

 

[Jono]

I swear Starc can be an annoying ****. I understand the excitement around him, but ffs you have Ryan Harris.

 

[Spikey]

Who is the Aus player with the beard? I heard Doolan is around the camp, is it him?

 

[Furball]

How can you not love Ian Bell

Because he's not scoring singles.

 

[Noppe]

Could anyone imagine how awful we would've gone if Bird got picked instead of Siddle?

 

[Spark]

Stop bowling pies ****s

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah it would IMO. 2000 revs per minute is about 33 per second, if you want a quick conversion.

I really like the idea. Fast bowlers have things recording how fast they bowl, so why not have things that record how much spin spinners are putting on the ball?

Yeah absolutely. As I said before, The ECB/Sky actually been recording this since at least 2010 so it's about time they introduced it into their coverage. Can't help but think they wouldn't have done so if Swann didn't exist, but hey ho.

 

[Maximas]

Lol at Williamson outdoing Bruce Martin in the rev count

 

[Spark]

10 singles in 45 overs is pretty amazing

 

[NUFAN]

Siddle needs to come on for 2 or 3 overs before the tea break IMO.

 

[Expressway76]

Because he's not scoring singles.

He can score with me, I'm single

 

[ajdude]

a regular spikey tweet (question was who takes the next wicket)

 

[Burgey]

Time for Watson before tea. Maybe a short burst from Siddle too.

 

[Furball]

I've just noticed the lack of an Australian voice in the commentary box.

I know Warne's in Vegas but it's still a bit of an oversight. Sky should have signed up McGrath.

 

[Spikey]

yeeeeeees a close up of agar
