*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[King Pietersen]

That is a jaffer. Good luck playing that. If he'd bowled that to a proper batsman, they'd have knicked off. Tailenders get nowhere near them.

 

[Bahnz]

Fap. Fap. Fap.

 

[Uppercut]

FMD that outswinger.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I think a swing bowler doing their stuff with a new ball is the best sight in cricket. Even better than a destructive quick.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Everything Mark Taylor is saying on commentary is completely wrong

 

[Antihippy]

It missed the top of leg by an inch. That's close.

That's just rolled along the ground. Come on Jimmeh, skittle him please!

Eh, I guess I'm talking about it in a drs sense. To me close in drs sense would be clipping.

 

[Swingpanzee]

this really is the crucial part of the test i believe, if Australia survive this new ball they may be able to almost minimize the difference but if England knock us off quickly they are gonna be heavy favourites

Nah, give me a good legspinner any day.

What is it with Haddin against England? Everyone says he's past it but yet again he's on track to swing the game his team's way.
Such a ****, but he's a terrific competitor.

 

[Uppercut]

Not doing anywhere near as much for Broad.

 

[GIMH]

really really really hope Jimmy gets Johnson. cleans him up. And then urinates on his face

Chill out, he's scored an incredibly scratchy 18*.

Don't see them very often though sadly.

It is wpdavid.

Sounds like an 6'9" ATG punjabi NRI quick.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

That kind of review shouldn't happen. Just holds up the game. 80-over reset rule needs a rethink.

1 extra appeal per 40 overs after 80?

 

[Scaly piscine]

That kind of review shouldn't happen. Just holds up the game. 80-over reset rule needs a rethink.

Whoever came up with it didn't think it through in the first place. As I said at the time they should just give them an extra review in addition to however many they've got.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Don't see them very often though sadly.

You do realize the Yasir era is well and truly underway don't you?

What's with you English blokes and urination? First the pitch, now somebody's face.
