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

[TimAngas]

Interesting to see how Cummins will bat given he seems incapable of competent defence since he starting batting well in the IPL.

 

[Gnske]

You know what, just Chanderpaul this useless tail into the dirt Usman. You've earned it

 

[CartyDurham]

The rules around not putting external substances on your hands without approval have been around since the pandemic. Obviously Moeen hasn't played a Test since then, but they're not new.

I agree.

let’s enjoy the game please. We have a potentially great test match here . Hopefully the rain goes away

It's ok Starc can bat

 

[Burgey]

My God Anderson is an utter ****.

Not exactly the sort of bloke who treats triumph and disaster just the same, is he?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Cummins can whack a few can’t he?

Go back 5 years, maybe

He's been a walking wicket in Tests lately

 

[CartyDurham]

How many wickets is Anderson ahead of McGrath now ?

No

He’s legally blind these days

 

[Burgey]

Been terrible the last 18 months or so with the bat. Honestly, Lyon these days more likely to slog a few than Pat these days.

Can't bowl though

 

[Fuller Pilch]

That's a shame. Hope the tail can stick around. I'd love it if Uzzie could get the double he missed out on against the Saffas.

Game will end a draw if he does with the weather coming in

 

[Burgey]

Worth giving Carey massive props for that knock though. Such an upgrade on Paine with the bat, seriously. Those were flat out crucial runs

 

[Starfighter]

A Dom Bess special.

 

[Gnske]

That's an easy one, moron can't catch at his toes

 

[TheJediBrah]

Cummins is garbage with the bat, should be 11

And Mooen is chucking it

 

[Spikey]

Terrible foot work from the keeper

 

[trundler]

Tentative start

 

[Calm_profit]

Cummins did play well on 2nd test against India this year

 

[Shri]

Steve Smith should have a bowl in this pitch with Lyon if eng lose their top order for **** all
