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

[GIMH]

Guns'N'Roses isn't heavy metal Punter

The important thing is he’s a fan of such a great band. Truly redeeming

 

[ataraxia]

I was 5'11 at 15 years old ffs

I will take a lot on here. Call me dumb. Call me ugly. Call me balding (which is also fake news but whatever)

But I will not tolerate being accused of being a sub 6-foot genetic failure of a human being

And here we see the TJB specimen, which we suspect may have mental ailments. In its natural habitat of cricket fora, it can be seen by mistake tacitly admittedly its own stupidity and foul appearance. Moving on from that dark note...

 

[Ashes81]

You Aussies are getting very ****y considering you still trail by 21 runs and have to bat last on this track.

This match is along way from done

 

[Gnske]

It's not Channel 9 unless Slater, Nicholas and Warne are having an oral creampie over Bon Jovi

This match is along way from done

Only if you make us bat again

 

[Croadymeister]

I missed the start of the day, so I only just found out that Bairstow missed another one this morning. That's three in the innings isn't it? Nobody's saying that Foakes is perfect behind the stumps, but he'd be doing better than that. England might just struggle this summer if they have to create at least 13 chances to bowl Australia out.

Well put it this way by the time our brains trust realise we need Foakes as keeper Ashes will be on plane to Australia. So don't expect to see him until the 4th test when it doesn't matter anyway.

[Starfighter]

What's this negative bowling? I'm sure Atherton would be completely clammed up now that it's his side doing it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Why would you completely change your game when it's got you 141 off 300 and something balls ffs

 

[Gnske]

Why am I not surprised Robinson was that thrilled to get one up over an ethnic guy?

 

[GIMH]

At ****ing last

could still get a lead here

 

[mackembhoy]

What's this negative bowling? I'm sure Atherton would be completely clammed up now that it's his side doing it.

But we've got funky fields so it's positive obviously.

Edit: thanks for the reverse gambhir anyway

 

[Son Of Coco]

Was just about to say "Don't let this field get you out Usman'...oh well.

 

[Aidan11]

I think he isn't getting any wickets.

He is now.

 

[Ashes81]

Brilliant from Stokes there - great captaincy.

Great knock from Khawaja - well played son

 

[social]

Brilliant knock but that’s a bad shot as England are really on the ropes here

 

[TimAngas]

That is some theatre.

 

[TheJediBrah]

As far as I'm concerned that's a failure from Khawaja. Drop him for Harris

 

[Spark]

Still a bit short of where we need to be

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well that was s bit of a brain fade
