1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Bahseph]

That was painful from Ali. Yikes.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

That's four more than I thought Moeen would get - hope it breaks the spell

They were leg byes.

And now he leaves one on the stumps, and leaves the ground in silence

 

[wrongun]

Gazzzzzzzz. Lets goooo

 

[trundler]

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha. That's pretty ****ing horrible.

one of the great leaves

 

[91Jmay]

lmao Moeen you ****ing moron. So bad, he didn't even set up him for that.

 

[social]

Ali is not good

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why did we drop Leach?

 

[fredfertang]

Leg byes and heh. What a no shot.

Didn't cover myself in glory there, but **** me he's just not the same batsman is he?

 

[Burgey]

The pitch map that showed they have bowled 2 balls at Bairstow so far that have hit the stumps? They've been too short, typical Australian bowling performance in England.

He’s 8 not out mate from 30 while they’ve lost three poles. You’re making it sound like he’s just brought up his 150.

Typically brain dead post and that’s typically brain dead Alj batting against Lyon.

Game really in the balance now. England pisshg away the best of the conditions

 

[Stowford Mess]

Might be the most important runs all series. Teams never seem to come back after losing first up these days.

1981 and 2005 are the only Ashes I can think of where a team has won after being 1-0 down.

 

[Starfighter]

It just looks worse with every replay.

 

[Gob]

What a fool

 

[trundler]

Here comes the lollapse

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So is the Moeen one a funnier leave than Hollioake to Warne was?

Playing XI for test 2. wholesale changes made as australia lose. i assume bancroft/wade/warner combination fails again. Harris to return to opening position.
warner has more credits but is struggling for form. M neser to make his debut after being in arguably best form of the pacers. Starc to return with immediate effect. Hazlewood ordered to continue his return to test level, but battle between neser/Hazlewood. Neser in great form. Pattinson and Siddle to get dropped after showing no penetration over a day and half of test cricket. Both are still journeymen not quite at test level anymore.
Labuschagne/Mitch marsh to both be included to give more bowling options and allow Starc and Neser to bowl in rapid bursts.

Not like Wade/Head are impressive ,Wade has been turd like.

Paine if he continues to fail with the bat across the 5 tests, will get dropped for Alex carey in the next series.


Marcus harris
David warner
Steve smith

Haha yeah live I thought it had clipped the bail but it cannoned right into the middle of off stump.

Moeen only ever seems to play well against India.
