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

[morgieb]

Thunderstrom tomorrow
Draw

From what I can tell the thunderstorm will affect the second half of the day but we should get at least a session in.

Day 5 could be a write-off though, so I think the Poms will make an "interesting" declaration at some point.

I’m flying to Dublin on day 5 so I’d appreciate the game ending before then

Batsmen will get themselves out if they don’t start rotating the strike

Pretty sure it's still June.

England were 5-176, Australia now 4-177, advantage Australia.....

....if only we didn't have such a crap tail (6 out/all out)

Carey should make some runs on this

I swear if Carey plays a reverse sweep shot today he needs to run through a gauntlet with the other players beating him with their pads

Sanga being surprised by Greens defensive approach today is funny, dude clearly hasn't paid attention to how he bats in tests. He's been very block or bash since day 1 of his test career.

Not as many as Vivian (literally a girl’s name) took on that fateful day behind the Merv Wallace Stand

More believable than social

Why's green stopped using the sweep to the spinners? Wouldn't help him vs pace but it'd give him another scoring shot vs the spinners.

Better from Green

His biggest weakness is a lack of confidence

They’re bowling outside his off stump

**** the sweep.

 

[GotSpin]

You do need to put some pressure on Root

 

[subshakerz]

So far the Ashes has been great. Neither side owns two sessions in a row.

He was pretty decent in it tbh
