1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

Good session for England. Keep it up and the runs will come.

It did quite a bit early, particularly in the air, but nipped around a little too. The odd one is still nibbling off the seam today.

Shock, day 1 session 1 in England it does a bit then flattens out later on. Not doing anywhere near as much now bar the odd really good one from Pattinson who has bowled beautifully.

Why did it move the most in session two then?

The 2019 version of Murray Mints?

 

[trundler]

Burns has done pretty well given that the impression I'd gained from previous threads was that him being in the side was like England having only ten players

That's Jason Roy.

The 2019 version of Murray Mints?

You'd think he could be pleased about their performance without making stuff up.

I am not, they showed a graphic that it moved more in session 1 yesterday unless they lied too.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I know he's in his fast bowling dotage now, but big Sid looks a yard slower than on his last trip.

He's bowling faster if anything.

 

[Son Of Coco]

How have we let this ****ing numpty get anywhere near 50?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Shot. Sat up and begged to be hit, but beautifully dispatched by the quirky cack handed.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fetch that Gary

 

[Starfighter]

How have we let this ****ing numpty get anywhere near 50?

Two terrible decisions, one from Wilson and one from Paine.

 

[BoyBrumby]

He's bowling faster if anything.

Yeah? Maybe it's my memory playing tricks, but I thought he was up over 85mph fairly regularly back then.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah? Maybe it's my memory playing tricks, but I thought he was up over 85mph fairly regularly back then.

I think youve confused him with his heart, which is up over 85bpm most fielding days

 

[Spark]

I genuinely do not get how Lyon hasn't gotten a wicket here. Feels like he's been on the verge every over.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Rory, now double it.

 

[trundler]

50 for Burns. All those calls for him to get dropped were knee-jerky.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well I guess Sid's picked primarily as a batsman anyway.

50 for Burns. Not a chance less knock, but he's still there. Prove me wrong and double it, son.

Really good that from Raarrryyy. Rode his luck (to say the least) against gollum but played some nice shots as well.
