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

[CartyDurham]

The length is more what did it him and the angle on the crease. It straightened slightly if at all, but it started so wide that Marnus in form should be leaving that line.

EDIT: Seriously look at that replay. It's tenth stump ffs

Tenth stump It’s ok . He has gone now. Let’s wait for the other 8

 

[CartyDurham]

He can't. Harry Potter put a spell on him so he has to stay permanently 11 years old.

I’m surprised he can get a drink at the bar , that is not pop

 

[CartyDurham]

What happened there on the hook for four

total silence and nobody moved

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m back live on my telly now

Haway the lads get me another wicket please

 

[Croadymeister]

One more before close than 7 more tomorrow

We need 2

Everybody including the cameras and commentators lost the ball once it left the bat. Bizarre

 

[CartyDurham]

Spoiler: Uk lads only

I forgot England were playing footy tonight I’m knackered with tension watching this

Was a glitch in the matrix . Aliens are coming

 

[Croadymeister]

England just about favourites now IMO.

No chance with these two

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m a little bit worried about Jimmy this evening

just not quite at his line or length yet

 

[artvandalay]

Cricket dramas don't work.

The Bodyline one from the 80s is the only decent cricket TV programme unless you count an episode of Midsomer Murders where the scorer was stabbed in the back.

Fire in Babylon was pretty decent.

 

[CartyDurham]

Strange one handed shot by Smith there

 

[CartyDurham]

Don’t think Jimmy is liking the block hole on the crease

 

[wpdavid]

Fire in Babylon was pretty decent.

That was a documentary wasn't it? FJ was talking about dramatisations with actors playing the cricketers. One genuine exception was '83', which was really enjoyable.

 

[CartyDurham]

What that I’ve then ?

catch or lbw ?

no review too late

 

[CartyDurham]

Was that a catch ? He definitely edged it

Didn't carry did it?

 

[Spark]

Yeah this is bad.

 

[CartyDurham]

That was out if reviewed

Big miss by England

smith repre

Does not matter

[chunksafc]

Get in broad lad
