*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Ruckus]

god thats a fast outfield

 

[Burgey]

Ooh shot

 

[Spark]

Good shot but geez it makes me nervous when I see him playing around his front pad like that

EDIT: That's a pie and a very good shot though

 

[Spikey]

"Reminds me of Justin Langer, does Chris Rogers"

spikey to comment

i'm sure there's a glasses joke to be made


we'll know the winner by tea

Wonder how long it'll be before they start throwing it in on the bounce. Ball won't swing for long you wouldn't think, and the edges aren't carrying. Reckon targeting the stumps with a reversing ball will be the way to go.

Watson might as well go ultra aggressive early. He'll be a massive LBW candidate later in the innings. No point him getting bogged down and stuck like he did during the last Ashes series.

 

[Esperance]

Watson in the groove.

Makes me nervous when he gets off to a good start and looks dangerous

 

[MrPrez]

Lovely leg-glance. Though when Watson gets expansive, you always think there's a wicket coming up soon.

 

[Ruckus]

please just leave a few more watson before driving

 

[Burgey]

Just contemplating the aesthetic displeasure of a three hour Cowan-Rogers partnership

 

[Tangles]

Everyone who backed Cowan at 3 deserves to have to watch him IMO.

 

[Spark]

Stop playing at balls so wide outside off stump ffs

 

[Burgey]

Terrible ball watching by Rogers CJ there.

Nasser counting the plays and misses. Wasn't doing that yesterday.

 

[MrPrez]

Everything about this innings as seemed jumpy so far. They're not settled mentally. Wicket coming soon, surely.

I did last time, it didn't take much out of my evening

 

[Ruckus]

yeah actually wtf, why does Rogers choose to wear glasses instead of contacts in the field?

 

[The Battlers Prince]

lovely defensive shot from Rogers away from his body

Contacts are annoying under dark glasses, probably

 

[Spark]

Probably finds them annoying to wear all the time, just finds glasses more comfortable

 

[Tangles]

Glasses can be a bear to bat in with a helmet and sweat etc. But if your going to wear contacts why not wear them all the time?
