*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[MW1304]

**** **** **** this game is going to be close, not a great morning.

 

[uvelocity]

What a catch. If we pull this off ill be naked somewhere

 

[Burgey]

So, need Bobby Simpson to win then. Was that score made at this ground in 64?

 

[Tangles]

Almost looked like a no ball from Sidds on that last one.

 

[Cabinet96]

Will be chasing one more than they did at Jo'burg then.

 

[Spark]

repeat of Jo-burg would be swell

Only one run more and equally as unlikely, you'd have to say...

 

[Maximas]

would people prefer we get rolled for 100 or get within 50 odd runs here but still lose

could you at least wait 15 minutes before Watson gets out before asking?

 

[ajdude]

man why the **** do i have to work in the morning, i want to watch this

 

[GIMH]

The bowling scorecard a great advert for watching v stats given that Pattinson has been so much better than Starc

 

[Cricket Brain]

So 311 to win it is. Took the last two or three wickets relatively quickly today, but the damage was done yesterday i guess. Now its time to see whether the batsmen can stand up and at least give it a good go

 

[Cabinet96]

man why the **** do i have to work in the morning, i want to watch this

**** work FFS. If you turn up half dead who cares? That's what your boss gets for making you work Sunday's.

 

[social]

My betting is on a loss by 150

 

[Ruckus]

I think you could be grateful when you see the result in the morning. This could be painful viewing.

 

[Burgey]

Weird, but we just had a proper day and a bit if test cricket. Tidy, probing bowling and dogged, determined batting

There's no draw here unless it rains. Too much time left. Got to see Anderson's first spell off. If they do that they're some chance.

 

[Cabinet96]

The bowling scorecard a great advert for watching v stats given that Pattinson has been so much better than Starc

And Siddle as well really.

 

[Furball]

Na, will prove to just be another worthless innings when Watson smashes a run-a-ball 200, wins the match and begins his career as the greatest opener the world has ever seen.

Stick to moaning, you're rubbish at jokes.

 

[grecian]

I don't think Root should have opened, still think he should bat at 6, mainly because JB isn't there yet. Yet blimey talk about an over-reaction, he scored some runs in the first innings and was strangled in the second.

He has no obvious technical difficulties, and like most good players seems to have all the time in the world to bat.

Anyway ignoring this point, because lets face it, it's just same ol', same ol' from that poster, game on, now, fascinating to see how this goes.

bit of swing, bit of spin, but all slow.

 

[GIMH]

And Siddle as well really.

Well yeah but his figures are decent

 

[morgieb]

311 for victory. Should be an enthralling chase at the very least. Still well in our hands.

 

[Esperance]

Agar to open.
