1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[trundler]

That one flew. A bit of inconsistency in bounce.

Imagine JL getting to see his two little brothers Cameron and Marcus opening together.

I can see that, but I see Warner being outright dropped before he's pushed down the order

 

[mr_mister]

Right. Smudge we need you again

 

[trundler]

Khawaja looks composed.

 

[fredfertang]

Well done Mo - the blob is forgiven

 

[GotSpin]

So soft

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha that is just inept. Wtf was bancroft trying

 

[BSM]

Would be peak banter if Ali can outperform Lyon on this pitch

 

[wrongun]

Broad too wide to Bancroft here. Looks as if the sometime sandpaper enthusiast has the discipline to ignore the wide ones.

Third ball much better. That's the line.

Seems like you’re stuck in the past much like your national football fans.

 

[trundler]

Well that's a woeful shot. Walking wicket gone.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I've not seen enough of Bancroft to know if he's out of nick or just slightly gash.

Terrible dismissal for a test opener.

 

[fredfertang]

Booing Smith is so stupid - the bastard will just go out and ton up again - much better to be nice to him and get him off guard

 

[wrongun]

Somewhere Joe Burns is smiling

 

[trundler]

That's such a limp dismissal. I'd say he threw it away but he's just not very good.

 

[trundler]

Booing Smith is so stupid - the bastard will just go out and ton up again - much better to be nice to him and get him off guard

I don't think it's registering with him either way.

 

[wrongun]

Don’t think Smith will bail us out again. Will be blessed if so

 

[NUFAN]

If you watch the way Siddle and Bancroft got out caught at bat pad, youd swear Siddle was the batsman and Bancroft the bowler.

 

[trundler]

Hope Bancroft is watching this closely. Don't want Smith to fail but hope he doesn't get too many so the rest are exposed badly.

 

[Spikey]

If Jos was in the Tres position he would have got that

 

[trundler]

**** me that's streaky.
