*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[Top_Cat]

Pic of Nasser looks like when he was playing for Uni. Looked like an upstart ****, was an upstart ****.

I'm still not unhappy with Starc not being selected, we all expect conditions to suit him and he should take a bag or whatever but he never delivers that

Nah I already wish Starc was playing.

 

[Maximas]

Never? Seriously? Bloke's played 11 Tests and taken two bags of 5. One more and he's equal with the number Flintoff took in almost 100.

The Perth five fer was absolutely disgusting, and the Hobart one was decent but helped by the pitch somewhat and again he bundled the tail out as well, he has bowled well at times, I thought he was decent at OT, but in the first 50 overs of a test match he is rarely what we want him to be.

Calling it, England won't lose another wicket today.

Anyone going to the darts at Luna Park later this month?

Too early. Smiiteh hasnt bowled yet.

It's Skull!

Frog in a bank.

Yeah play the legside balls like that, get your bat out the way.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Don't think short and down leg is the way to bowl to be honest...Cook's only got 2 shots, and that's one of them. Making Trott play on the offside isn't a bad idea either.

 

[benchmark00]

Good to see Usman spike the covers.

Always the way when you're playing at home and someone hits a four and a fielder from the other team chases the ball and stands on the covers, you give him the biggest spray of all time.

 

[Tangles]

Anyone else remember that Waqar yorker to Gooch when he had 333. Brutal.

 

[Top_Cat]

Trott look ominous but you have to say that Cook still looks like he could get out at any time. Really battling. If, however, he gets to 50, reckon he'll really make it count here.

 

[morgieb]

Wake me up when these ****s get out.

Might take til the second new ball, though

Trott's far more likely to give it away, so I'd say Cook would be a bigger scalp for you guys, even if he looks better.

Not sure if serious, but that was against India.

 

[Son Of Coco]

He'll only be about 61 at that stage anyway.

 

[Prince EWS]

Cook always looks like this when he's playing at home against decent pace attacks. Scores runs often enough anyway but he always looks really vulnerable for his first 50. He would dead set average 55 if he played half his Tests in any other country instead.

Would take either, to be brutally honest.
