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

[trundler]

Robinson is one fiery **** and I don't mean that in the carpet-matching-drapes way. Big balls on this previously accused of softness.

 

[artvandalay]

Greg Roy plays on.

 

[Burgey]

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 Broad is going to have a crack it has to be soon so he can res tip then bowl again with the new ball.

thars a huge wicket. Well bowled, tied him up

 

[CartyDurham]

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

That is most certainly a real unexpected bad shot. He looked so comfortable as well

 

[Spark]

Thats horrible from green. Thrown his wicket away there.

Really from nothing too, looked absolutely fine until then. Inexperience I think

Australia's entire batting lineup bar ussie have been criminal this innings. Head, green, marnus and smith have all thrown their wickets away after getting a start.

Nah only Green did that. The rest didn't look settled at all.

 

[CartyDurham]

It’s so wide as well. It took some going to drag it on

bang average ball by Robinson

 

[Ashes81]

God we needed that - a bit lucky but we'll take it

 

[slowfinger]

****ing get in I love you Robinson

 

[artvandalay]

England haven't bowled enough over the wicket to Khawaja. He doesn't have a good avg against that angle apparently even if the fad is now to default to a around the wicket line to the leftie.

I was watching the horses at royal ascot and the sound of the wickets shocked me

that didn’t look like coming at all

 

[Nintendo]

Nah only Green did that. The rest didn't look settled at all.

Once a batsmen passes 5 runs there average score is their career average from memory. All of them had passed 5 and where "set" as far as i'de define it. Smith had seen a few and smashed a hook, marnus had got 3 easy boundaries of moeen, head had got a few away after starting slowly.

 

[Burgey]

That probably ensures there’ll be enough runs left for the new ball to be a factor, assuming it’s not all out by then

 

[Spark]

Usman mate you gotta put those away

 

[trundler]

Update: today is also not the day Cam Green figures out test match batting. He's going to be scary good when he does but this is pretty funny in the meantime.

 

[Nintendo]

How many more wickets here would robinson need for MOTM?

 

[slowfinger]

Robinson running in like an absolute chad right now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Robinson is so good. Ridiculous start to his career for England.

Another four please
