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

[CartyDurham]

200 runs in this session. declare with 300 to win. Get the Aussies in for the last hour. Warner will crap himself and Australia will be 28/3

That would be nice .

 

[CartyDurham]

It currently 210 pm in the U.K. or 1410 in a 24 hour clock

Yeah it’s on GEM

9 making it as hard as possible to watch

Can't get a good photo, but they've got some random Spanish police drama on instead.

Terrible batting from these two. There's 9 overs left in the innings, the team is going at 4's and their 22(48) and 9(21).

 

[CartyDurham]

That was interesting comparing Smith and Bairstows stance., smith was on the crease, whereas bairstow was a good couple of yards down the pitch

 

[Uppercut]

Why do Australia have the keeper up to an 88mph heavy ball bowler, what’s going on.

Trying to force the batsmen to stay in the crease

was key in Smiths dismissal and also allowed Bairstow to survive to huge lbw shouts as he was down the pitch

It’s on terrestrial here which nobody with pay tv watches except for sport like this

9 has about 4 channels so you have to scroll through about 100 terrestrial ones before you find it

I think it's to stop them batting out of their creases to counter the swing.

Boland hasn't been able to trouble non-Crawley batsmen otherwise.

 

[CartyDurham]

Got away with a big swoosh there, down the pitch for four Stokes

 

[Ashes81]

Boland is a bit of an issue for the Aussies - we've targeted him and by batting out of the crease reduced the chances of LBW.

To counter this the keeper has stood up to the stumps but that reduces the caught behind option.

.

now one over the slip area. It’s anything goes time it seems . Four more

189 lead

Surprised Boland hasn’t bowled a few bouncers up the batsmen’s hooter
