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

[CartyDurham]

Could this be the start of one of Broadys classic Ashes spells

 

[morgieb]

Did his job but man would I have loved an extra 20-30.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Give him a slow ball yorker, Broad.

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

Btw I've seen Cricinfo comments mentioned on here a few times-I haven't been able to see any for a few years and just assumed they'd been got rid of for being too abusive and racist! Where the heck are they? I only look at it with a laptop not a smartphone, if that matters.

 

[Spark]

No slips to Head, really?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Is Robinson off to clean up as he misfielded on an old pitch early. Might just be a running repair.

 

[trundler]

Village shot but he did his job and then some

Boland did his job brilliantly. Well bowled there Broad

Did his job

Our 8-11 are usually good for less than he scored

We're a creative bunch here at CW

 

[TimAngas]

And half an hour absorbed too.

And saw off the worst of the clouds.

 

[Burgey]

Surely he goes full first up

 

[CartyDurham]

I’ve read on here that Head likes to play at a run a ball

he’s got zero experience in the Ashes in England so if he can, that would be some performance

 

[TheJediBrah]

these short balls are coming in slow motion

might put on a frozen pizza

 

[CartyDurham]

Missed a run there

 

[CartyDurham]

Robinson coming in at Anderson’s end

 

[TimAngas]

I’ve read on here that Head likes to play at a run a ball

Blasted a century against England on a green seamer in England-like conditions at Bellerive oval so .

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

All wickets so far this innings are catches by Bairstow. Is there a finer keeper in the world right now?

he played 4 Tests in the 2019 Ashes

Yes.

 

[Spark]

he played 4 Tests in the 2019 Ashes

Wasn't exactly great though. Did score a few 50s but looked very loose. Having said that, Head since the 2021 Ashes is a very different player

 

[TheJediBrah]

All wickets so far this innings are catches by Bairstow. Is there a finer keeper in the world right now?

Imagine if he takes 10 catches this innings and goes into the record books

 

[Bijed]

All wickets so far this innings are catches by Bairstow. Is there a finer keeper in the world right now?

Didn't Geraint Jones of all people have the record for most dismissals in a 3 match series or something for quite a while?
