*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[MW1304]

I'm very upset at the moment.

 

[silentstriker]

DO they call him 'rooty'....I just heard 'we're loving that rooty'....

Jesus Christ - that's the best nickname they can come up with?

 

[NUFAN]

Root could trouble Cowan IMO. The sort of bowler that he'll fancy his chances to cut for four but could easily edge it to Prior.

In saying that though, I'm slightly more confident as these two would have had a fair bit of practice against spinners like Root in county cricket.

 

[Burgey]

Unfathomable that Root has bowled more overs in the series than noted leg spinning all rounder Steve Smith.

 

[Cricket Brain]

Really liking Rogers at the top of the order. So nice to know that there's someone opening who isn't going to throw their wicket away. (i.e. Warner)

 

[Spark]

Gee, full tosses now...

 

[Spikey]

Cowan fancies his chances to cut off every bowler in the world

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Nice soft hands from Ed there.

smith's on debut so that's kinda understandable. maybe give smith a couple of overs after today's play just to give him something to take home

 

[Maximas]

Nice soft hands from Ed there.

He sure knows how to handle a root

 

[Spark]

Nice knock. Good time to get a fifty on dayboo.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Rogers forever youth policy never

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Yes well played Mr Rogers

 

[Burgey]

Well played Rogers. A wizened old pro who knows his game. Been an inspired choice so far.

 

[stephen]

Frontrunners for MotM so far?

If Aus win, Agar/2nd innings batsman/Siddle?
If Eng win, Bell/2nd innings bowler/Anderson?

 

[Cabinet96]

Has to be Anderson and Broad straight after tea, surely.

 

[BeeGee]

Nice 50 on dayboo.

 

[Burgey]

Hughes a chance if he makes runs this dig, and Australia wins.

 

[ajdude]

yeah **** off cowan

 

[Spark]

dear me
