*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Aug 4-8 - 2021

[Daemon]

Don't like that something like that can be considered a stroke. Don't think he had much intent of playing at it.

#intent

 

[morgieb]

That is terrible running and terrible throwing.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lawrence can't bat, catch or throw.

 

[wpdavid]

English fielding to the fore again

 

[Aritro]

Robinson is another bang-it-in seamer who bowls half a yard too short and gets it to fly past the edge in an eye-catching way when he might be more chance of catching the edge if he bowled a bit fuller.

Thoughts?

EDIT: He's tall as **** so I suppose he's after bounce. Never mind.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh god that broad spell at nottingham. not even a ptsd warning ffs.

I'd only add that maybe he got slightly carried away after dismissing Rohit with the bouncer. But his figures against NZ suggested that he's generally getting something right.

This is the pre-IPL Rahul that we are looking at. Pure class!

Probably not, and he is getting on now. What makes you ask?

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Broad looks like those old and weary UFC fighters who refuse to retire(and keep getting smashed). Hope he produces a gem and shuts me up.

Yeah fair call. He's bowling a much better length now anyway.

Early days at this level, but Robinson reminds me of pre-injury Gus Fraser.

And he probably needs a breather now.

saw stats on screen that said he's averaging like 13 with the ball this year with a lot of wickets

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahul's been doing that dumb half leave this entire session to Broad for some reason. Nice troll job.

 

[Kraken]

Horrible review

 

[cnerd123]

good decision live, looked close and there was a sound, but clearly nowhere near the bat. excellent umpiring.

Horrible review

cricinfo reckon that Buttler was telling Root not to review.

Fair enough.
