1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[trundler]

That's Headed towards the boundary

 

[Spark]

Okay yeah Stokes needs to be yanked. No one's bowled halfway down all game until now.

 

[Starfighter]

To be fair, if the umpires are gonna be as they are, then it's hardly the worst thing to bowl (cf an over full of half-trackers)

Speaking of half-trackers, that was a vintage example.


You know with this wicket looking rather slow and if anything a little dry, I think Starc wold have been a much better pick than... you know... Peter Siddle.

 

[Groundking]

This is rubbish from Stokes

 

[trundler]

Curran in for Stokes next year, plz

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Stokes has bowled utter dross. Get him off.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Oh god Head is terrible he has no right getting a boundary from that horrible poke

Eh I'm fine with Siddle being picked, but I know I'm alone on this.

Geez, Botham commentating. Been doing it since the 90s and not improved one iota in that time.

 

[MW1304]

Why isn't Jimmy bowling?

 

[Starfighter]

That's a beautiful edge off an attempted leave.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

this is nufan erasure

 

[trundler]

Stokes has bowled utter dross. Get him off.

[TheJediBrah]

**** me Head is going to end up making an unbeaten ton with nothing but mis-timed hacks and poked edges

 

[cnerd123]

Eh I'm fine with Siddle being picked, but I know I'm alone on this.

[Starfighter]

If it works it ain't stupid.

Yeah he's useless. Kindest thing I can say about him is that he's not obnoxious.

Apparently this is his and Gower's final series commentating, though.
