*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[LongHopCassidy]

Watson 5-5-0-0, WAG.

 

[Garson007]

Really weird English innings this. Scored nothing when scoring was easy.

Justin Langer via Cricinfo:
Agar's state coach Justin Langer said this: "He's a good-looking cat, he's a brilliant athlete, he has a nice family, he's studying law ... He can marry one of my daughters."

Steve Smith is popular with the fans in spite of looking like Steve Smith.

I think it's for the same reasons pugs are popular

 

[Burgey]

Nasser needs a feed. Don't they pay him enough?

 

[adub]

I am. Massively. It's going so far he can straighten it enough from there to catch an edge

But won't

 

[Swingpanzee]

The pessimism! 76/4! anything above 150 against this Aussie line-up is 50-50 IMO!

Agar might say otherwise.

 

[Burgey]

But won't

Lol

 

[Swingpanzee]

First round the wicket delivery from Starc. that impressed me.

 

[Spikey]

 

[Maximas]

Starc going round just to troll Swann I reckon

1. 150 lead is one heck of a long way away for what's left of this English batting line-up. Especially with the new ball due soon.

2. Clarke's due, which means the rest won't actually have to make very many.

3. England's bowling isn't actually all it's cracked up to be. Finn's just horrible and Broad used up his annual quota of match winning performances in the first NZ test. Anderson and Swann are going to have to bowl out of their skins.

 

[Spark]

Disaster as Watson's figures are irrevocably ruined

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Watson increases his economy by a factor of infinity.

 

[Ruckus]

this is excellent bowling from Watson.

Nah you know that you can't just assume that a good player is going to get runs. Clarke could very easily fail.

Point 3 is a fair one but Broad could do some damage if he is fit enough.

"England won't win because gambler's fallacy"

 

[King Pietersen]

Bumble suggesting England open with Swann, Strauss countering by saying Australia have Shane Warne at the top. World class.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Starc getting tired, bring back the big heart.

 

[Ruckus]

hahahahaha
