1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Burgey]

Well played young fella. Top knock.

Test match getting interesting.

Wait, that’s not a no ball

 

[social]

Thank **** for that

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jaffa. Burns did well to hit that. Finally.

 

[Groundking]

All this moaning about playing and missing is missing the real point and issue which is thay for the pitch the Aussies have been consistently too short for the pitch. They're currently in the process of wasting the second new ball by not being full enough.

 

[Spikey]

they might get someone out there who scores some runs now

 

[Gob]

Fully expect Aust bats to nick the first ball they play and miss obvs

 

[morgieb]

Important knock even if not a fluent one. Thank **** that wasn't a no-ball.

 

[Stowford Mess]

Bairstow is a hack

But still a better batsmen than Bancroft, Khawaja, Head, wade and Paine.

 

[wrongun]

Garbage knock....GTFO

lollapse on the cards here

 

[Stowford Mess]

Lyon deserved his wicket. Bowled well to him yesterday too.

Funny how all the full balls have been driven nicely then. The pitch map certainly didn't support that the bowling was too short. It's luck.

 

[GotSpin]

Thought so

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Great runs. Probably 50% of his runs for the series.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Thank goodness for that.

 

[GotSpin]

But still a better batsmen than Bancroft, Khawaja, Head, wade and Paine.

No he’s not

 

[91Jmay]

Great knock, been a poor morning though. We are being too defensive, just soaking up dot balls and not doing enough damage.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Could consider himself desperately unlucky to finally manage to nick one.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well battled Burns, can't say it was a great knock but it was a vital one.

 

[mr_mister]

I really like Moeen, maybe he can score nice 30 not out as everyone else gets skittled
