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

[Burgey]

Do they bring another spinner into the squad, would be a big admission they messed up the selection?

The injury gives them cover to do that. I mean, even if they win here you’d think Moeen will have a rest next test

 

[Carlos]

90 runs is still alot of runs to play with

 

[Burgey]

Lol
That was a cracking ball

 

[Socerer 01]

[DDP]

[CartyDurham]

Long way off still

 

[Spark]

Extremely surprised that Root is still on here

Yeah, like someone else posted earlier, Woakes and Wood for Anderson and Moeen seems a pretty good change.

He's getting the odd one to do a bit, but feels like its too easy for these two to move the strike over vs him.

If the pitches are going to be anything like this then you need a spinner, no matter how underwhelming IMO

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

I do when there’s guys like Bairstow and even Root (again) in the side who are a lot more experienced and whose places are secure. Pope will be battling to still be in the side by August

I doubt that very much.

 

[Spark]

Oh dear

 

[Socerer 01]

one more wicket to go

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Green is gone !

 

[TimAngas]

This test is just killing me.

 

[Spark]

Can we all at least agree that that isn't a good shot?

 

[Nintendo]

Thats horrible from green. Thrown his wicket away there.

 

[CartyDurham]

Woweeee

that woke me up

now that’s a bad shot by green to drag on an innocuous ball by Robinson

this test swings again like the biggest rollercoaster there is
