1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

Stop bowling it there you absolute spanners. Fuller or shorter.

 

[fredfertang]

Broad seems to have worked on his batting.

He and Moeen have swapped batting abilities

 

[Starfighter]

These two look the most comfortable pair all innings.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha. Dorothy!!

 

[fredfertang]

That's the way to do it!

 

[trundler]

Limp stuff from Siddle. Where's Patto?

Woakes is a younger version of Siddle

Shot

 

[trundler]

Woakes has looked the third most best English bat.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Probably only the second session Oz has won.

Which shows what a load of bollocks "winning sessions" is.

 

[trundler]

This has been another annoying partnership.

 

[morgieb]

First 90-100 minutes were outstanding, kinda lost a bit of patience against Broad though. Woakes would deadset challenge for a lot of sides Top 6's.

Still a good session overall. Problem was that we were far behind enough at stumps that I think England are still ahead in the game.

 

[91Jmay]

Great shot, good little partnership but rest of them a rabble. We need another 20 more to be just about in front but with Jimmy injured probably need nearer 100. Lyon finally got rewards for some excellent bowling, but Bairstow/Stokes/Ali absolute giveaways.

Bit of a difference there, I'd say

Where the hell is Patto

Confirmed that Anderson will bat,by Bumble on Sky ..

Where the hell is Patto

Bowled first up in the morning. I think Siddle's probably outbowled him today and they probably thought Cummins would be more effective in getting Broad out.

 

[Adders]

England have to be one of the worst teams to be world champions

Wtf.......I mean seriously? The **** are you on about in an Ashes thread??

 

[Starfighter]

Better than it could have been, worse than it needed to be. Woakes and Broad just look so set for an annoying partnership.
