*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Prince EWS]

Disagree that Bell's shots to third man look good. I'd welcome them as an Australian bowler capable of moving it off the straight.

 

[Uppercut]

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.

Yeah I think the lack of bounce helps. His vast array of third-man shots are much less dangerous.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Time for smith before the new ball from pattos end

Hopefully, time for a bit of a change like that

 

[Woodster]

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

Yes it is looking a pretty high risk shot on this type of pitch, problem is it is a shot he usually plays with great timing and to great effect, but may be worth just putting it away for now, the new ball may just help it come on for him.

Looking good doesn't mean they're smart to play. I reckon the Aussies would like him to keep on attempting those too.

And Agar and Starc do look so alike. And they're both warming up. Agar to take the second new ball?

Don't know about that with so little bounce, but they'll definitely be hoping he continues after they take the new ball.

I thought they did look good and were very well executed. I will also be happy if he never plays them again this Test!

Makes me happy just becasue it reminds me of when he played it constantly for about 2 sessions against India. God India were **** that summer.

 

[Spark]

Knew it

 

[Cabinet96]

Stick with the old nut Australia.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Review that, I dare you.

Edit: ****

 

[Spikey]

gotta be gone

 

[Maximas]

would surprise me if this gets overturned

 

[cnerd123]

Bell what a ****.

And it's a review.

 

[Prince EWS]

Plumb IMO. Won't even be umpire's call, reckon he's stone dead.

 

[NUFAN]

Watto! Surely that's out, it would be hitting leg stump just IMO.

 

[Pothas]

And he is out of course to Shane ****ing Watson.

 

[Spark]

Nah gone

 

[Maximas]
