1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[mr_mister]

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

1997

Australia in 1997, England won the first test Australia won the series 3-2

 

[Stowford Mess]

1911/12, 36/37, 54/55

Once every 20 years then.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah.

97 too...single digit posts and 2 terrible ones already. Bairstow better than Khwaja lololol

And 1997. Not that England are winning this necessarily.

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

As per cricketwebs resident boomer not having a ****ing clue what he is talking about. Bairstow is simply horrible when you pitch the ball up, Siddell already doing it better this over at it, as anyone who knows anything about cricket would have told him to adjust

 

[NotMcKenzie]

YJB gone. Getting closer to being OJB too.

 

[trundler]

This is hilarious. Bairstow is the definition of comically bad.

 

[wrongun]

Soulless Ginger c Revenant B Militant Vegan.....brilliant.

 

[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.

I mean, we all goose ourselves but brother, you’ve excelled yourself here.

 

[NUFAN]

Amazing how poor Moeen the bat is.

I always find it funny when the same batting position in both lineups score the same. Patto and Moeen this Test and last Test it was the keepers Bairstow and Wilson who combined for 0,0,0,0.

Now Siddle has a second, all 4 quicks do. Maybe Patto should come on and try and clean the tail. Siddle can have 1 more over maybe.

 

[Stowford Mess]

Yikes. That’s a poor shot. Stokes, Jonny and Ali have got themselves out this morning.

 

[slippy888]

England have to be one of the worst teams to be world champions

 

[vcs]

Are my eyes deceiving me or is an English middle/lower order collapsing quickly? No doubt the last two will add 50 now that I've said this.

 

[Flem274*]

constant plays and misses are symptomatic of bowlers pitching it too short i agree

yea p siddy continuing the lollapse

 

[91Jmay]

I mean, we all goose ourselves but brother, you’ve exceed yourself here.

Literally proved my point you strange old fella. Pitch the ball up and get a wicket.

 

[harsh.ag]

Siddle gets Root and Bairstow!

 

[wrongun]

Little cut there by a Siddle on the ball?
