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

Omg seriously? You talk like you know this game and tell us how you spend time in the nets chatting to all these great cricketers....... but you somehow come out with these ****i g bazzare opinions that just makes me realise you are absolutely clueless and have nfi what your talking about.

Joe Root >>>>> KP. And any team (or person) that "fears" KP more over a series than Root is just off the wall stupid.

While I completely agree and there is clearly no doubt as to who is the better player, if social is Australian the sentiment is somewhat understandable

Hearing Warne then talking about Broad in 2019 v Warner was sad.

Hopefully we get at least one tonight.

 

[chris.hinton]

If they'd batted on, Australia would probably be 20/2 tomorrow and trailing by more runs

Ponting loves it so Australians should follow suit

 

[TimAngas]

In twenty minutes you are very unlikely to get more than one specialist bat out.

Root in 2015 was much more consequential a contribution against Aus than KP's. Even if the latter has those Adelaide double hundreds.

 

[chris.hinton]

Broad saying to Warner "Again i will do it" Warner looked worried

How Lucky 12. 53 in the after noon

I hate to watch live cricket that late at Night in india but i never missed Johnny & Rooty batting together in my life ever before.

I hope you have a good night there my dear GS Kohli. Enjoy the last few overs before close of play.
It's raining over here.

 

[Shri]

Aussies do you not have any 150kmph bowlers? Just bump them if you can't win.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Might get nightwatchman too though.

Bet Lyon is padded up now.

 

[Burgey]

Terrific hundred by Root there. Batted
Beautifully

I can agree with that, but it was a single series 8 years ago. Anyway, KP << Root

 

[chris.hinton]

Haha 1st ball and Warner is worried to death and almost got run out

 

[TimAngas]

Might get nightwatchman too though.

Sure, but is it worth conceding 20,30,... however many runs were left out there?

 

[Spark]

Yeah but honestly, KP only really had one off innings. He never had a big, defining series against Australia that you talk about when it comes to truly great batsmen.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

This is a very brave declaration.

I think Stokes will top it even further with Moeen opening the bowling.

5th time england captain declared FIRST INNINGS in under 110 over. Its world record

 

[Spark]

Sure, but is it worth conceding 20,30,... however many runs were left out there?

The way Root was batting, he could have gotten that in two overs!

 

[sledger]

Lots of non-England fans getting very distressed by the declaration I see. Very dubious behaviour.

 

[Jfry]

Warner already middled more balls than he did in the entirety of the 2019 series

 

[chris.hinton]

How many Overs?

What KP mostly accomplished in the 2010/11 lot was stop people seeing how well Bell was batting at 6/7 that series
