Early call but this looks an absolute road

Not early in the slightest, wdym

 

[flibbertyjibber]

And questions need to be asked

Why?

We are happy playing 2nd up at that ground as you usually win there.

[Burgey]

When the last time a pitch was this flat at Edgbaston? Looks like the kind of ODI strip you score 360+ on.

Was very flat in 05 iirc. Similar to this with the ball bouncing twice first session. I seem to remember Lee bowling the first over and a couple rolled straight away

 

[trundler]

Only going at 5s? Bazball is dead

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Who scored century before lunch on day 1?

Yeah his breath smells and he should feel bad.

 

[Ashes81]

Poor 1st over for us - only 5 off it

 

[Molehill]

How are Anderson, Broad, Robinson & Moeen supposed to take wickets on this

They managed to take 20 on Pakistani roads. It'll break up from Day 3 I think, but early days anyway.

>inb4 Dhawan again for some reason

 

[Starfighter]

Oh, it's this Hazlewood. Throwdown.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Defensive fields already. Aussies scared from the off.

 

[Burgey]

Who scored century before lunch on day 1?

David Warner v Pakistan iirc

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

“He’s got some questions to answer”

Ponting blabbing on about it.

 

[GIMH]

Crawley's on fire, your bowlers are terrified

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ricky is getting pissed already

 

[Spikey]

Sitting here, dreaming about what Starc's first ball would have been
