*Official* Fourth Test at Trent Bridge

[Hurricane]

Suspect outside off stump, not something he'll improve any time soon especially against pace - no matter how gritty he is, how smart he is or how many million balls get thrown at him before series end. Scored a ton v us on a completely flat one and never looked likely apart, even on a Cardiff featherbed he looked harried outside off stump. Might need the next cab off the rank.

I think that looseness has been a lack of mental understanding of what is required in a test match. I could be wrong. Which is why I put a bunch of maybe's and caveats in my post.
However I propose a signature bet that he scores more or less than 30 in the first innings. The winner can insert a sentence or quote into the other person's sig for a month.

Let me know before game time.

Wtf?

I'm hungover. Thought we were talking about Lyth. Don't mind me

 

[Riggins]

straight back on the beers pls.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

A few hacks already at the ground saying its a bowl first.

 

[hendrix]

I'm in Australia at a house with Foxtel. How do I watch the cricket? Can't figure it out

 

[Riggins]

It's on free to air on Gem - channel 90

Andy Mangan dropped down two divisions he was so keen to play for us. James Norwood turned down football league contracts to play in white. Lois Maynard quit his job to become a full-time footballer. And Jay Harris left the goats and took the trip up the A55/M53 to play on the right side of the bridge.

Or the short answer is Mangan

Shrewsbury reject.

Hope he does the business for you and stays fit.

 

[Prince EWS]

Well if he's dropped today then one of Plunkett, Footitt or Rashid is opening the batting

Seems like a pretty good reason for the Australian selectors to drop him tbh.

 

[Furball]

Last Man Standing questions are up.

Weather looks perfect for Jimmeh

 

[Gob]

Looking nice and green. Another 3 dayer?

Absolutely bananas.

 

[Gob]

Absolutely bananas.

if it seams around like **** i'd rather have an extra batsman

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Looks a clear result pitch again.

 

[ajdude]

I wonder if there's a market for David Warner to bowl 5+ overs in this test

Its like downgrading to Windows 10 when you already have the superior Win7.

Hope its just a distraction for the dropping of Adam "Runs make me puke" Voges for Watto, who really never deserved to be dropped.

Not quite like the pitch vs. India last year, but definitely some green there. But enough to take the risk of bowling first if you win the toss?

Might be a good toss to lose.

Bowl first.
