*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[Furball]

Meant this over

You keep channeling your inner GIMH

 

[King Pietersen]

More quality keeping from Rad.

SHOT. Bell's back.

 

[King Pietersen]

BOO. **** off Mitch.

 

[duffer]

It's on lads, it's on.

 

[sledger]

Haha Mitchell Johnson.

 

[smash84]

bell's gone

 

[Furball]

That was pretty poor

 

[morgieb]

What just happened. I didn't know Johnson took wickets

 

[smash84]

what might be a safe total on this wicket for the 4th innings?

 

[Uppercut]

I was so hoping we would get sporting pitches for this series, to have something fun, positive and engaging to watch. Something approaching a distraction from the most horrifyingly bleak time that this has been. Instead, we've been greeted with another doctored, slow, turgid piece of gutter slop. Uninspiring conditions. Uninspiring dismissals. Garbage. Negative, needlessly attritional garbage. I watched two sessions on day 1 and maybe one and a half today. I have never been so *bored* of the brand being displayed.

I don't care who's winning. Give us something worth turning on the television for. PLEASE stop doctoring wickets. You are making this **** less fun.

Stop it, you're making it too much fun for the English posters.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

That was a bit of an odd dismissal. Just missed it by miles.

Really don't think Johnson has been as bad as his figures suggest, quite good in this innings.

 

[Johnners]

Huzzah!

 

[Howe_zat]

It gets a hundred or else it gets the hose again

 

[Cabinet96]

Bell sucks. Such a downhill skiier. Would be one of the worst ever at it if he hadn't scored those runs in the 2013 Ashes.

Bell would be a really bad downhill skier if he hadn't got loads of runs in pressure situations.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Mitch Johnson still on target to be the first Australian since Bradman to average over a 100 in an Ashes series in England.

 

[grecian]

Bell would be a really bad downhill skier if he hadn't got loads of runs in pressure situations.

Yeah including today, 20 odd for 2.

Mad reaction considering you have bowled like a dick. Shows how much the pressure is getting to him.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bell would be a really bad downhill skier if he hadn't got loads of runs in pressure situations.

Kinda overstating it here. He's made pressure runs, sure, who hasn't? But he's done so much skiiing it's kind of laughable.

And he's gone. Piss off, Bell. No pumping your average today.

 

[Kylez]

England have looked quite scratchy/lucky with the bat during this innings IMO, been an abnormal amount of edges plus plays and misses outside off. Johnson has definitely bowled better this his figures suggest overall but he was quite underwhelming in the 1st innings nonetheless.

Broad and Anderson bowled superbly this morning.
