*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

[Adders]

Well I'm 6 beers deep (look out Pews payback coming!) and pumped as ****!! 3hrs and all the BS pre series talk can stop and we'll see where this is headed..

Which is of coarse an emphatic Eng series win

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Wait. What? Only 112 in 10 series? That's ****ing ****

He'd probably have double if he bowled like he has done in the last couple of years

 

[chris.hinton]

Are you going the game Chris?

Sadly not. Working most of today. Couldn’t get tickets for the weekend and working for 4th & 5th day

It's two hours mate. But feel free to delay your start.

 

[Adders]

Just tell us 1 more time Chris how this test and then the series plays out......not sure Burgey and his mates have got the memo yet.

Two weird things happened in that Test. Anderson only bowled 4 overs and Wade did an impression of a Test quality batsman.

Wade will never not confuse me. 2 tons in our first "successful" Ashes in England I'm 20 years, Played a massive part in AUS winning their first t20 WC and yet his career stats are fairly hideous.

 

[Blenkinsop]

Have Aus named their bloody team already? I'm dying to know which better bowler they've left out in place of Starc.

Cummins apparently........had a panic attack this morning and locked in his room refusing to come out. Sandpaper man to captain

His overall stats are pretty Crawley like, but every dog has his day I suppose.

loads of Aussies around. Strangely looking confident

told one it’s going to be 5-0 England

Was chatting to a friend yesterday and realised I'd gone from being pretty confident about this series to starting to properly sweat it now we're getting close.

Thank you Chris for staying the course and reminding me that Things Are Gonna Be Ok.

Sure it wasn't a stray cricket ball?

How can one not be excited at the prospect of sending some notable Aussies here back under their rocks?
