1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

*****,

 

[Starfighter]

Just the angle looked terrible. I did think it was straightening but it really didn't. I suppose he could have been out first ball anyway, so there's that.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah Broad is so wide on the crease here, unless it hits right in front of off stump or he's really deep in the crease, it's gonna miss.

Yeah the margin for a legit lbw is so small that it's worth reviewing regardless of how out it looks/feels.

 

[Spikey]

Short cheat did it first by not walking. Guess he is just a **** bloke and all that.

broad didn't appeal not davey's problem

 

[trundler]

Hughes and McDermott have more wickets together than Lillee and Thomson.

Keeper did though so there was an appeal. Cheating crims never change.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh ifs, that's a rubbish umpiring decision and not good from Warner either.


Australian crowds are often more boorish, but English crowds are much more vindictive and it's been that way since before the start of the twentieth century.

English crowds were usually brandy sipping octagenarians

 

[aussie tragic]

Think players are still in WC mode, think they only have one review lol

 

[cnerd123]

both the English and the Aussies are cheating ****s. we get it.

hope it rains and this match is a no result, but we have enough play for a Siddle 50 and fiver-fer

Walking? Yorkshire isn't by far the most successful county team by walking. It was a thing that began with those weak southerners post war.

 

[trundler]

Bancroft looks better now that he isn't shuffling across

 

[TheJediBrah]

Ugly bunch of cricketers from both teams aren't they

I mean their faces. Not a lot of good looking blokes

I'm talking about places like Old Trafford and here, not Lord's.

 

[trundler]

Ugly bunch of cricketers from both teams aren't they

Cummins is handsome though

 

[Starfighter]

Ugly bunch of cricketers from both teams aren't they

Yep. Except Cummins.

 

[aussie tragic]

What's the point of the ugly, meaningless numbers on shirts, surely their name gives them away. Plus, it's England, half the players are wearing jumpers with no numbers/names anyway

 

[trundler]

Like I said, Khawaja looks gooood.

 

[Starfighter]

I forgot, postage stamp sized grounds.

 

[Spark]

This line to Khawaja is stupid.

 

[morgieb]

So Warne's back? Urgh.
