*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[Gnske]

The only surprise was the fact Warner took so long to review it.

Rogers almost talked him out of it.

That blind ginger worries me sometimes.

 

[King Pietersen]

Anything to stop Bumble talking about chickens.

 

[NUFAN]

Quality commentary right now IMO.

 

[Riggins]

Did not expect the plan to Rogers to be to target the strangled down the leg side from the start.

Hey, I thought it was at least slightly funny.

It's still too early here...

 

[GIMH]

And he's not entirely wrong. I'll be astonished if Jimmy's test average is still below 30 at the end of this series.

He'd have to average about 45 based on my rough Maths. Nothing in his recent form (ie since last Ashes) suggests he'll perform that badly, and that's before we factor in there being a Test at Trent Bridge. Can't see it.

Pitches this dead should have a 'one hand, one bounce' rule.

There's nothing worse than a bloodnut who doesn't actually know he's a bloodnut.

Anderson is bowling pretty well but God this is a road. England need a wicket badly while there's still a bit of swing.

 

[Prince EWS]

Burgey and wpdavid agreeing on England being **** is sort of the CW equivalent of the bootleggers and baptists alliance during prohibition.

Really? In that case it's not as clear cut as I thought.
Well done on the sums mate.

So good.

 

[duffer]

Never, this is a smoke and sledge-free Ashes.

Weak.

Don't congratulate me...I could be wildly wrong....

 

[wpdavid]

Shows how the stats can lie. Jimmy's bowling far more economically than Broad but only because he barely made them play in his first three overs.

What are we predicting for close of play?

 

[Gnske]

Great catch

 

[King Pietersen]

JIMMMEHHH. Handy catch too from the skip. Bye bye Warner.

 

[grecian]

Don't congratulate me...I could be wildly wrong....

I just generally assume you are, safest bet.

 

[Stapel]

Not the worst catch that!

 

[Primrose_D12]

Woah, fantastic catch at first slip
