1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Stowford Mess]

Haha... Hussein and Root really don’t rate Root’s captaincy (and rightly so)

 

[NUFAN]

You know I think that I would rather Warner bat at 6 in England.

It wouldnt be hard to play Harris or Labuschagne in the top 3 and it would mean Wade would miss out.

 

[trundler]

Weird looking dismissal but top notch from Broad.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Broad quite often does that "it's so out, I'm not going to lower myself to appeal" thing, tbf.

He usually just skips that step and goes right to the celebration

 

[trundler]

Philander is worse

Nass clearly forgetting the several thousand balls he instructed Ash Giles to bowl outside Sachin's leg stump when he toured India.

Amazing attacking gambit, that, eh?

The best at it you mean

 

[trundler]

Bancroft does not look good.

To say that was a different situation would be a mild understatement

 

[Pup Clarke]

Surprised Labuchampagne isn't playing

 

[Stowford Mess]

Was it him and Handscomb who didn’t seem to know which end to hold the bat when it started swinging under the Adelaide lights in the last Ashes?

 

[91Jmay]

So Bancroft is getting across onto off stump so he can leave anything outside his eyeline and then proceeding to poke at stuff. ****ing woeful.

True enough, but it does **** me how attacking every ex-captain becomes once it's no longer their arse on the line.

Or you could drop Warner for a bit. Let him get it right

 

[trundler]

Positive is the most meaningless word in cricket commentary.

 

[GotSpin]

Just keep leaving everything. Bit of discipline is needed here

Oh yeah I 100% agree with that. Botham wanting 8 slips no matter the situation.

That's boring!

 

[trundler]

Better leaving today so far.
