*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[silentstriker]

Root with 2,800 revs per minutes

And Nelson!

That rpm seems like a bunch of BS to me...

 

[NUFAN]

Yep, not at all surprised with Root getting Cowan.., Khawaja at 3 next Test please.

 

[ajdude]

just when i was considering going to bed too.

 

[Burgey]

better for the game that

Oh well then, let us rejoice.

 

[MrPrez]

Poor guy gets done by nelson.

go to the shops instead and stock up on caffeine

Cowan is so frustrating. He's so easy to like as a bloke. He has a great work ethic, he's smart, he's genuinely a good bloke. He just isn't an international quality batsman, which is a real shame.

 

[Prince EWS]

Australian #3 for the Second Test


Phil Hughes 1/1
Ed Cowan 2/1
Usman Khawaja 5/1
Ashton Agar 9/1

 

[LongHopCassidy]

The day wil come when Root will be bowling at Quinton de Kock.

'Root denied with de Kock blocking'

 

[NUFAN]

Nelson means **** all to an Australian just quietly.

 

[Spikey]

Australian #3 for the Second Test


Phil Hughes 1/1
Ed Cowan 2/1
Usman Khawaja 5/1
Ashton Agar 9/1

gut feel: cowan gets another go. warner a chance for the 3rd

He's done more than enough to qualify for the Channel 9 commentary box.

 

[Spark]

oh my god that delay before c9 went to the break

 

[fredfertang]

Jimmy and Broad to finish it without the need for a final day

 

[MrPrez]

You don't choose fate.

 

[ajdude]

go to the shops instead and stock up on caffeine

nah i'm not tired, i will be at 6 when i wake up though.

also that was the one time i wished GEM would cut to an ad break, tim gilbert was staring into my soul

 

[social]

Cowan is hopeless

Anyway 200 to go

SA would walk it in

India would probably do the same tonight

If Oz lose it from here it is nothing short of a massive choke

 

[Cabinet96]

Fair play to Cook. He made a huge mistake in the first innings in keeping Finn on when he was losing England the game, but he wasn't making the same mistake now.

Nasser made the point in India that he seemed a quick learner. Probably the one difference after Strauss, who seemed a bit more stubborn.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, inclined to agree now that I've thought about it more. If Khawaja plays the second Test then it'd be really harsh to then drop him from the third so they'll probably give Cowan another chance and then bring Warner in if he fails again.

Jimmy and Broad to finish it without the need for a final day

I gotta go to a BBQ soon. I'm already late and have demanded Sky Sports Ashes on in preparation for my arrival. But god damn this test is so good.

Think it will be finished in the morning tbh.
