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

[G. S. Kohli]

I wonder why not yet Green.?

I witnessed Head's off spin bowling in india for Aus A vs Ind A he was Handy than.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I honestly thought it was parody when saw ad for the first time

Still watching it obviously

Luke McGregor is a strange choice to play Warney.

 

[Blenkinsop]

Or Warne

Or Willis

 

[Spark]

He's strayed straight a lot so far this morning has Boland

 

[Qlder]

So Green definitely not as good as Shane Watson, captain won't even bowl him in first session?

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah but I mean, when Pietersen gets a gig. Jeez

They forcibly retired him in 2019 after the last home Ashes. They've occasionally brought him back since so they might regret it, but I think they made the call four years back on this one tbh.

 

[mackembhoy]

At least Botham isn't there.

Aye well he went ages ago thankfully. Still way better than KP

Botham too busy making wine, being a brexit wanker and getting his racist pals the who to play acoustic sets at Durham

Watson loved bowling in the first session.

 

[Spark]

Shane Watson, famous first change bowler

 

[GIMH]

They've occasionally brought him back since

Have they? Drawing a blank there.

He's done some of our away tours carried by BT - and it made me appreciate him so much more. But I do think he upped his game a bit compared to his later years when he returned.

 

[TimAngas]

Did Shane Watson ever open the bowling and batting in the same match?

 

[Jfry]

Hazlewood looked good unsure as to why he got dragged

 

[Spark]

Look I'm not opposed to this line, it got a wicket, but you have to put an orthodox square leg in. Force Crawley to hit through the ball more than just turning it around the corner.

EDIT: That single there. Force him to hit that behind square and suddenly you're in business.

 

[Spikey]

It's really more a Kallisball thing

In regards to all-rounders bowling first session

 

[Qlder]

Shane Watson, famous first change bowler

Who said that? He often bowled before the spinner though given he bowled 140 km just like Green

Looked like a SNL skit

 

[mackembhoy]

why was Gower binned?

Old and probably also pay his replacement Ian Ward less money

BT Sport picked him up for Windies and NZ series abroad and he was his classy excellent self.

 

[Spikey]

This could be the funniest thing ever

 

[Gnske]

Crawley's had a few chardonnays with Broad

Guaranteed to be not out
