1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[morgieb]

I'm probably over-rating him but there's basically no cricketer around that has a better judgement of his off-stump than Smith. Surely the umpire would know that too?

 

[Starfighter]

**** decision. Dumb crowd

It's Birmingham. They have a historical reputation for their dumbness.

 

[vcs]

Anything over 200 would keep Australia well in the contest, you'd think. 250+ and they'd probably be ahead.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

What cretin pelted the ball back at Smith from slip, dumb stuff

 

[Starfighter]

I don't have a clue as to what they're singing?

It sounds like 'we are ****ing arseholes' to me.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Back to 'evens' with the DRS (dumb review system)

 

[vcs]

I hope Smith doesn't have to be the lone boy on the burning deck like Kohli for India last year.

What cretin pelted the ball back at him from slip, dumb stuff

i have a theory

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Never looked out even if it was a crap bit of batting shouldering arms.

 

[Spintolose]

R.I.P. Shakoor Rana.

 

[Spikey]

bad review. he's in form.

 

[Starfighter]

Jeez, that's not a bad one. Don't think it was pitching outside leg.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's umpire's call

 

[Spikey]

that may look plumb, but he's in form

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This is a terrible take. You’re exactly a one man batting team

Bad luck for Anderson, but a very questionable selection in hindsight

250 is enough here. I think it’ll turn biggish late on for Lyon, and there’s enough there for our quicks.

Siddle a terrible selection. Honestly, worst I can recall in ages.

We have 4 number 7's who will put their hands up at numerous stages. You have a crap opener, 3 and 5 and 2 keepers who are ordinary.

 

[Spintolose]

Smith is a master at farming the strike.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Jo-el it is then

 

[BSM]

That always looked out lol

 

[Spikey]

matt wade, is in form?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Three reds...bad decision Joel
