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

[CartyDurham]

I would have thought that Trent Bridge and Durham 2013 would have been better shouts. We're not winning this one by an innings.

Ah Durham 2013. Oh what a lovely few days that was. Sadly Durham is now no longer allowed to hold test matches

Odis and T20s they can but not tests

 

[CartyDurham]

Could give Root a whirl

he can spin it big

 

[wpdavid]

Bairstow will be Australia's MoM.

Don't knock him, he's up to 33% now.

 

[CartyDurham]

Looking at the replay of the dismissal there. Warner just slightly hesitated

 

[Croadymeister]

Bairstow will be Australia's MoM.

Man of Series if England management don't wise up

And to rub salt in the wound the ECB are giving Hampshire an Ashes test next time around.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

You are spot on there . Off topic but I remember a footballer called Viljoen , he played for Ipswich in the 70s iirc . Any relation

Nope , but he must have been really good at his trade given that surname

 

[CartyDurham]

Spoiler: This is for uk lads

darren moore has left sheff Wednesday

I think England have a perfect win record at CLS

colin graves and his inept decision making

 

[Aidan11]

I think England have a perfect win record at CLS

colin graves and his intense jealousy of Durham being much better than Yorkshire

Amended to reveal the truth.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Root 164
Khawaja 166*
Lyon 9 wkts

How far they will go by 5th test?

 

[CartyDurham]

By the way lads , I posted a pic of my FTECB badge earlier

not sure overseas and other uk lads knew where I was coming from

 

[Spark]

How has Marnus not put both those pies into the stands

 

[CartyDurham]

Amended to reveal the truth.

You are so correct on that one Aidan

 

[wpdavid]

I think Moeen's done for the time being. Not his fault given the state of his spinning finger, but let's be real Ben.

 

[chunksafc]

That's just filth

 

[CartyDurham]

Root 164
Khawaja 166*
Lyon 9 wkts
Carey 9 dismissal

How far they will go by 5th test?

About 1000 miles around the country

 

[CartyDurham]

Seen that ball. And this has to be his last over today

If we want spin get the Waco kid on

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That should be it for Mooen in this test.
