*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Jono]

LOL @ Broad's wasting of time. Teams do it all the time so no issues with the actual using of the tactic. The issue is the fact they felt the need to use it. Piss ****ing weak. Man up and get the wicket.

****ing hell I hate this........need to find a new sport to follow. Supporting the England cricket team has taken years off my life.

The extra over actually ended up helping the English as they'll get a crack at Pattinson first over after lunch.

Up at 5:30am in the morning for work...but you'd have to be insane to go to bed. Hope we edge 5 balls over slips first over after lunch to get it done quickly.

 

[GIMH]

Got to be Anderson first up

Would the result of the match impact on your XI for the next Test? Both teams.

i mean, didn't he actually bowl 30 seconds before the clock even ticked over to half past?

 

[ajdude]

i've been ridiculously superstitious and haven't left this thread, is this the first occurance of two 50 run 10th wicket partnerships by one team in a single match in test cricket?

Whatever happens we have to drop Finn. Other than that I don't see that we should make any other changes at this point.

The result no, but performances yes. Finn and Bairstows out Onions/Bresnan and Compton in........Root back to 6.

 

[NUFAN]

No.

So, probably unsurprisingly my follow up question is would you make any changes?

Cheers GIMH and Adders.

I would drop Finn and Cowan for Onions and Khawaja respectively, although I expect Bresnan to play.

 

[MW1304]

I don't imagine there'll be many going to sleep.

Well obviously. But 5 days of little/no sleep on top of the already fraught nerves doesn't make it easier.

 

[MW1304]

They're seriously showing this Trott thing? Wtf.

Onions in for Finn. Give Bairstow one more game.

Change Broad's shoes.

Pretty much this, except I'd be considering Tremlett.

[Prince EWS]
