1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[morgieb]

I don't get why Anderson is out there. It's not like he can survive 50 overs.

 

[NUFAN]

India have pretty much singlehandedly kept his career alive

Moeen's career average is still above all of Burns, Roy and Denly

 

[Starfighter]

Should Anderson even be out there? He can't run.

 

[OverratedSanity]

He has taken a lot of wickets recently in fairness. Though they were against Sri Lanka and the West Indies at their home grounds.

He got some really annoying runs against India too on top of the wickets.

I reckon, partly, to not give us extremely easy ammo to call him a bad sport in the press if he didn’t face up to a hat trick ball

 

[TheJediBrah]

Smith can do wrong after all

 

[NUFAN]

Okay, that's my fault.

 

[Spikey]

wow taste it nufan

 

[Starfighter]

Siddle has bowled well with no luck today.

Also, I don't think we've dropped a catch all Test. I feel like that hasn't happened in ages.

Well done

this is the best jinx of all time on so many levels omfg. you robbed siddle of his 217th wicket

 

[duffer]

So he's not a god.

 

[Starfighter]

I must say that's surprising, he usually shells the really easy looking ones.

 

[mr_mister]

Meh, Bradman couldn’t catch either

 

[mr_mister]

Paines a champ

 

[trundler]

Terrible drop from Smith. Drop him.

 

[Starfighter]

This is managing to go frustratingly long. And England are still somehow managing to have all the luck.

 

[mr_mister]

Also, Paine being the one to lead us to victory in England after Ponting and Clarke failed twice each would be really amusing to me

 

[trundler]

Woakes getting his 4th innings average up to show he can bat under #pressure.

idk i feel like this will have India 2017 feels to it in a couple of weeks

 

[Maximas]

Wow what a turnaround
