*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

The pitch is abrasive so the ball reverses and there's grip for the spinner and the odd one off the seam, but you have to bowl well. Certainly not a minefield.

Anderson bowled superbly and Swan has been good. Finn has been poo.

"Here's the ball Finny, so what're you gonna do?"

"Well the pitch is slow and it's reversing a bit so I reckon I'll just wang it down mid-pitch and mix it up with some wide half-volleys"

One innings and two batting collapses already. I wonder how many more we'll see over the next 10 matches. I say 15.

If this England series ends up a real flogging will they cancel the return series?
I'd reply, but your arguments have become so redundant that my replies to you have also become redundant

Armstrong wasn't at 11 on talent, iirc. Might have been a sticky wicket and reverse order

From what I see here, looks like Agar is batting well with proper cricketing shots. Haven't the Australian captain and coach seen him in the nets and deemed him fit to bat above 11? Poor from them..
