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

[TheJediBrah]

Strange insult considering:
(a) Burl is a leggie
(b) Burl is heaps better than Moeen
(c) Burl spun Zimbabwe to an ODI win over Australia last year

Sorry mate inside joke

If you want to get on Moeen to take 5-for though, I've drastically shortened the odds

 

[CartyDurham]

And I'm a Kiwi who dislikes both teams

Only by the barest of margins though ?

 

[thierry henry]

And I'm a Kiwi who dislikes both teams

Yes but only one of these teams hates cricket and/or has Ben Stokes

 

[Starfighter]

Reverse on that last ball?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

All good no worries

 

[CartyDurham]

Oh...OK...only if you stop assuming that I'm a pom assuming that everyone who comments here is a pom.

You are clearly an England fan mind.

 

[Starfighter]

Why is Sangakkara there?

 

[CartyDurham]

Why is Sangakkara there?

Commentating. He is usually on comms in England every summer .

 

[woodleigh]

You appear to be a touch bitter. Enjoy the game , it’s just cricket and not war. Good shot kahwaja

Why would a person be bitter at this stage of the test match? You appear like you've already won it. C'mon Australia! Good luck @CartyDurham

 

[Gnske]

Why is Sangakkara there?

They offered the gig to Jayasuriya but the condition to speak coherently was a deal breaker

 

[trundler]

Poor Foakes looks done for based on how Bairstow has played so far

 

[thierry henry]

Why is Sangakkara there?

Bradman was unavailable so they went with the next best batsman dead or alive

 

[TheJediBrah]

**** me that was not even short at all

Just bowl full to him ffs

 

[slippy888]

Where does Sangakarra get this strong English accent from he puts on will always remain a mystery

 

[ataraxia]

Poor Foakes looks done for based on how Bairstow has played so far

That's all, Foakes.

 

[Gnske]

Poor? He threw away that NZ test like a beta ****

Clearly!

 

[Starfighter]

When's the last time Khawaja got a single? Feels like he's only scoring in fours.

He's got a Sri Lankan accent
