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

[RossTaylorsBox]

The British contingent will no doubt end up saying 'What are the scores on the doors Miss Ford?' the way this is going.

For the rest of you it was a gameshow hosted by Bruce Forsyth with a fit dolly bird Rosemarie Ford from the 90s.

All this cloud, just need a session to win it. Easy as. Mo won't even bowl today.

Couldn't remember which one. Bruce did so many gameshows.

 

[Burgey]

You think Australia will win

Unless it's very overcast they should, yeah. By about 5 wickets. Four at worst

Very sedate start to the day. Still 174 required.

It is meant to stay cloudy all day. Aussies won't last 2 hours.

This is Swahili.

Yet y'all vote for Brumby in BOTM every year despite every one of his posts being the same as this condescending, barely legible, drivel.

If you did play a test who would it be for?

probably gully cricket with no pesky rules and regulations

It ended up being hosted by Jim Davidson though, and I am very disappointed every time I am reminded he is still alive.

Not sure score updates are allowed on here.

Australia is not a chasing team tbh. When they win, they win the game early

 

[Barbel]

I'm local to the ground and unfortunatley it's been torrential rain for a while now and still going. The local forecast isn't good with it not stopping until early afternoon. Be a shame if there's no play as it's set up for a great finish.

Reminds me of being at the ground, against India, and them not abandoning the day until 5:30 even though it was waterlogged.

I know and look at there form

Not sure score updates are necessary every second post on here.

Quite

They usually get more movement after a rain shower even when the sun has come out. Probably something to do with moisture in the air.

Probably something to do with weak Australian batters imo.
