*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Prince EWS]

Cricinfo down

 

[MW1304]

Missed out on really going at Cowan at the start when he looked nervous. Instead we've had Finn being Finn and Swann gifting him short ones.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bring Root on or something.

This wasn't 100% serious, but OK...

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Bumble clearly never seen Star Wars.

 

[ajdude]

I really don't like what Swann does with his shirt collar - looks like a ****ing 13 year old going to his first school disco - ****

complete with the mummy-did-my-hair-this-morning look

 

[Prince EWS]

Reckon I'd be bowling Pietersen before Root on this wicket if I was looking for a breakthrough.

that too

 

[silentstriker]

For some reason, clapping after every over annoys the **** out of me.

 

[Burgey]

This wasn't 100% serious, but OK...

What does Joe Dirt bowl?

 

[Prince EWS]

Swann's length has been absolutely ****. Has bowled two lengths, neither of them good.

 

[Prince EWS]

What does Joe Dirt bowl?

Accurate offies that don't turn much.

 

[silentstriker]

I wonder how accurate the RPM value is that they show after every delivery. Not very, is my guess. That's so hard to figure out..

 

[Burgey]

Accurate offies that don't turn much.

And here he is

 

[ajdude]

time for a root hey

 

[GIMH]

Bumble causing laughter down under with his time for a root comment, surely

 

[stephen]

On a pitch like this you really need to have your quicks attack the stumps. It's too slow for spinners and the edges don't carry. If you attack the stumps the variable bounce can bring lbw into play.

The pitch is turning but it's slow turn that good batsmen can play easily.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

This should be interesting

 

[Maximas]

time for a root eh bumble?

 

[BeeGee]

Just enough time for a Root before tea.

 

[fredfertang]

Inclined to agree with Bumble tbh
