*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[cnerd123]

This session is where Bell and Bairstow need to earn their test match whites. A pair of fifties would be invaluable, and a century possibly matchwinning.

Sid Vicious back into the attack. Patto looking good. Exciting stuff.

 

[cnerd123]

honestly think Agar is being a little under-used, would love to have seen him settle into a long spell this morning or yesterday

The way the quicks are bowling, he hasn't really been needed.

If they both tonned up (unlikely) then it's 1-0 us, simple as that really. IMO.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Although I rated Starc bowling with the new ball yesterday so I assume he's being rested to do it again

Thanks Gautam.

Would you take the new ball if you were Michael Clarke?

 

[Spark]

Swore he'd played on for a second

Would you take the new ball if you were Michael Clarke?

If a wicket fell before over 80, no. Patto and Twatto looking terrific and Rogers has done wonders with this ball.

So true but Bell is in the perfect territory where he usually gets out and i expect him to oblige.

 

[morgieb]

New ball can't come quick enough. Very dreary start to the session.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Would you take the new ball if you were Michael Clarke?

No reason to I think they're capable of taking one of these wickets with the ball as it is

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, I'd probably take the new nut. They'll likely get it reversing again before tea anyway.

 

[morgieb]

Would you take the new ball if you were Michael Clarke?

If we take a wicket, no.

But despite bowling good, we aren't hurting the batting really. Dunno.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Only person guaranteed to bowl better is Starc. Patto and Siddle doing fine with this one.

 

[Spark]

Bell's seriously gonna chop on if he keeps at that back foot angled drive...

 

[Prince EWS]

Would you take the new ball if you were Michael Clarke?

Yeah absolutely.

 

[uvelocity]

Time for smith before the new ball from pattos end

 

[cnerd123]

Nicely played by Belly those couple of steers down to third man. He does look so good when batting. Needs to add another 66 to his tally for this innings, at the least.

 

[Pothas]

I know we seem to have to talk about Bell in a different way to any other players but this is the best he has looked in a good while.

 

[Cricket Brain]

Yeah I think they should take the new ball, partnership just drifting along at the moment
