I went out for dinner and Smith got out. What happened? #asktheCWcommentators

 

[morgieb]

We'll struggle to get 200 at this point.

 

[WalkingWicket]

I wonder which was more satisfying for Finn, bowling McCullum in the ODIs, or getting Smith here?

 

[Spikey]

May I just say, I don't particularly rate Wood, and Finn may prove to be more useful

 

[Son Of Coco]

I'm pretty sure Smith knows where his off stump is Warney.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Clarke's not going to do **** today.

 

[Swingpanzee]

ai well this is good bowling from Anderson

 

[Swingpanzee]

Rogers what on earth was that stroke

 

[Gnske]

Always pleasing to hear Warne moan about something.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Clarke's not going to do **** today.

[Swingpanzee]

Early thoughts on par score?

Plenty happening for England, but it's not all that rare to lose a couple of early wickets to the new ball on day 1. Still a chance for Australia to weather the storm and turn it into a good day.

 

[Stapel]

Judging by the Lord's batting display, the Australian tail is now in .

 

[Swingpanzee]

"Clarke's very quick"

as quick as a frail old man, yeah

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Batting won't be difficult after lunch for mine. Wouldn't write this innings off yet.

 

[Zinzan]

Early thoughts on par score?

It's so hard to say given it may look an entirely different wicket if these two can get through the next 15-20 overs, but batting first par looks about 350ish for me.

I just can't trust our middle order.

yeah i say 300-320 may be par, I'm assuming that there will be something in it for the bowlers throughout though. I do think you have to score ugly runs over here, so Rogers (and Clarke) will be crucial because we'll need a gritty display

 

[Cabinet96]

Get around Finn ****s.
