1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Son Of Coco]

Root you ****ing tin-arsed ****.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Burns has the weirdest stance. So weird

A mix between Gollum and Ephialtes from 300.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I wonder if DRS had the bail falling off on impact. Would show a flaw in the system.

 

[Red]

Makes Chanderpaul look good.

There’s fkn body angles going every which way

It would be umpire's call.

 

[Spark]

Don't think anybody thought it hit the stump though. That was bizarre.

It's happened often enough lately that people have to start expecting it IMO

 

[BSM]

I thought it had hit him on the pad, in which case I was thinking it was going to hit him outside the line. Aussies must have known he didn't hit it though?

 

[NUFAN]

Not, it's not a stretch. Not at all.

I honestly dont get this logic. Its like youve seen 3 red lines and are basing your decision off that. Working backwards almost. If you give it out and its missing thats bad.

 

[Starfighter]

We so desperately need a wicket or two.

 

[Spark]

Quietly Pattinson is bowling seriously well here.

The nearest I can think of to it is John Stephenson who had one test in 89 but he was a right handed version.

 

[trundler]

Pattinson has been truly unlucky

 

[Red]

Has Wade said “Nice Gary” yet?

 

[BSM]

Burns has done quite a nice job so far (apart from being out once of course). Quite happy to see us (and more specifically Root) dig in

 

[Starfighter]

Bullshit logic that. If it's squarely hitting the stumps and given not out it's a bad decision, end of. Same with vice versa. They're both 100% wrong. There's no moral grey area.

Laws only mention the wicket being 'hit' for LBWs rather than 'put down', so I guess it doesn't matter?

 

[Burgey]

Spikey, where did you the kebab from and what was on it?

 

[Spark]

Burns looks suuuper bad here. How does he usually play spin?

 

[trundler]

Need one before lunch

 

[Burgey]

Cunmins usually owns Root. This should be a good contest up to lunch
