*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Expressway76]

Finn you lanky streak of piss.

 

[Maximas]

funny what happens when batsmen show some intent and put bowlers under pressure...

 

[straw man]

Agar is the new Vettori? Young left-arm spinner starting at 11, will one-day be considered a decent middle-order option....

Ways Australia are the new New Zealand #49: Spin bowler is actually a batsman and useful fifth seamer

 

[Pothas]

Yup, Agar really looks the goods.

Don't say yup, reminds me of Nick Knight.

 

[Swingpanzee]

England invoking the South African spirit of choking.

 

[Uppercut]

If Broad can't bowl they need to get Trott on. Can't exactly bowl much worse.

 

[Cabinet96]

Some at least slap Cook for bowling Finn. Stop torturing us Finn.

He's got three bowlers tbf.

 

[Jnr.]

Good temperament from young Agar. Terrible from Finn.

 

[Burgey]

FFS Hughes. Get a single and let the batsman face Swann

 

[Coronis]

England invoking the South African spirit of choking.

Bout time they took something along with the players.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

the next Sobers, picked as a bowler rewrites batting history

 

[Cabinet96]

Don't say yup, reminds me of Nick Knight.

Don't make disparaging remarks about commentators, reminds me of Furball.

Another Ashes 2005 comparsion; England only has two bowlers.

 

[CricAddict]

Only following on cricinfo. Is the pitch playing good for batting? Or Agar and Hughes batting beautifully? If its the first, then I think Aussies would be worrying more than England..

 

[sledger]

Love how all the Aussies are getting excited because they have a number 11 who isn't a totally incompetent batsman. Got to take what you can get I guess.

 

[adub]

That's a hell of a shot

The pitch is playing quite good. They're batting really well and Finn is bowling absolute turd.

Good conditions for batting, but Finn is bowling terribly and Agar is really playing well. But yes, I would be pretty concerned if I was an Australian fan. Could be chasing a lot in the fourth innings, even if they can scrap a few more in the last stand.

it's a pleasant surprise, are we meant to just wallow in our depression and turn into Backlash?
