1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

He was in South Africa. Flintoff, Tresco and Geraint Jones weren't there either. Wonder why?

Freddie's too busy hosting Australian Ninja Warrior.

But but sun doesn't shine in England and all that.

Making excuses already I see.

Is this how bad my posting was during the WC? This is certainly approaching that level of bitter.

Is that what he is doing, thought it may have been Top Gear.

He is now a regular tv presenter, not that he is very good at it but good luck to him.

Where are Anderson's scan results? Surely it wasn't done on the NHS.

You were 100 times worse so stfu.

Nah, flibberty's is an order of magnitude worse than yours minimum.

If it was they probably been sent to wrong hospital or lost.

That's a pretty poor England top 6. Where would it rate amongst the test top 6s around the world. Ahead of Ireland, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, and the Windies, but behind the rest?

Thoughts?

I think Aus. Nin. War. finished up a few weeks a go (don't know because I don't watch it), but he's been hosting it certainly.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I hope England scores 400 to set up the chance of a draw, but I reckon 220-250.

It's a strange line up. Potentially there's a lot of runs in it that could come very quickly. But they could equally be 30/5. Wouldn't be overly optimistic on the consistency front.

keeper and slips are too deep

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Burns is an odd creature at the crease. You're not sure if he's watching the bowler or hailing a taxi.

 

[Starfighter]

I feel England are going to get a good lead here for some reason.

Aussies isn't any better, Smith is class rest are poor though Warner is great at home and they have a bloke averaging in the 20's in the side.

Yeah I thought Australia had a decent total but Cummins isn't getting the movement Broad and Woakes got. Ball isn't even wobbling after passing the stumps.

 

[Starfighter]

Please Athers, don't talk about Wade's bowling.


Ah **** it, where is the slip?

Beautifully guided through third man by Roy

An hour of Roy could be fun here...

 

[Starfighter]

How can your 'natural pace' be in a certain direction Athers?
