1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

I hope this ball-changing thing doesn't continue through the rest of the series.

But I think it will.

Getting to the point where I’d turn for Smith.

Isn't some sort of downpour due soon?

I always assumed you went that way already

 

[Burgey]

Stokes and Moeen have been poo this match. Anderson was a big blow.

Stokes has bowled with virtually no patience at all. Bowled out four variations an over instead of letting the ball do the work off. Good length. Very ordinary

What happened to Woakes

Makes me wonder if Stokes is a bit tired from the World Cup like cummins maybe is, though he batted well enough. He's never had the best control, but I've never seen him bowl anywhere near as badly as he did in the first innings.

Remember how unplayable he was that game in Sydney? Bloke was swinging it a mile both ways with perfect control. This can't be the same bowler.

Ffs Head is going to think himself out. Just missed blocking a full toss.

 

[Spikey]

get the Somerset boi in there. Jos probably would have deflected it onto the stumps

Looks a fair way off imo.

That's a miss.

 

[Burgey]

Bairstow will presumably have a cry about that missed stumping.

 

[Burgey]

Denly landed them pretty well. A more than handy part timer

Should have headbutted it onto the stumps

I'm not surprised. He looked a better bowler than he did a batsman in the Big Bash.

Interesting. No idea how fast that big blob is traveling though

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It’s the risk you take when you toss the gloves to a batsman instead of having a proper keeper.

 

[Gob]

Get that front foot as far down as possible and sweep Travis

 

[Burgey]

Stokes, just bowl six balls on the spot ffs. It’s infuriating me and I hate your team AND think you’re a disgraceful, violent, recidivist thug.
