1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[harsh.ag]

Should have been out

 

[trundler]

wade keeps his place for test no.2. Bancroft goes with harris returning to top strengthening the top order.
Starc and Hazlewood will come straight back in if Pattinson/Siddle dont penetrate on the 2nd attempt.

Did you actually watch Patto bowl?

Lol Root is out of his depth...

 

[Tangles]

Just got up and see Smith is still there. Expected that but England deserve to lose letting Wade score runs.

 

[trundler]

Mate I live in Queensland and the girls here most definitely use soap. You have to when it's 80% humidity for 9 months of the year.

That confirms so many stereotypes...

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Correct reaction from Denly

 

[halba]

360-380 would be a safer range to declare. 4 an over from here gets them that o/n declare.
and whole day tomorrow to bowl at england.

The biggest problem with Queensland women is all the implants, but they all live on the gold coast anyway.

 

[TheJediBrah]

England well and truly playing for the draw now

I travelled Queensland years ago. I saw a white Australian women roll out of a bush in Townsville, light a cigarette and proceed about her day. About as feral a place in the ‘western world’. Admittedly Brisbane is a return to normality.

Ali's hundred up after 23.2 overs

gold coast is quality. It's when you get further north that things get a bit hairy. I'm talking figuratively and literally.

 

[stephen]

I suppose running Smith out takes his ability out of the picture.

 

[trundler]

At least try to get them out with the new ball. Negative cricket.

 

[Pothas]

This is no fun at all.

Can we just take the new ball already.

 

[Spark]

I hate it so much even bowlers stand in front of the stumps for no apparent reason rather than doing the basic thing of not making the fielder hit the stumps from 50m away

I don't think England want to bowl Aus out. They want to keep Aus batting as long as possible so they have less time to have to bat the draw.

 

[Starfighter]

Fancy not taking the new ball and bowling a guy who's conceded 106 in 24 overs. Give it to Stokes to see if he can swing a couple out.

 

[Stowford Mess]

This could be the last time we see Moeen Ali in the whites of England.

 

[Pothas]

I don't think England want to bowl Aus out. They want to keep Aus batting as long as possible so they have less time to have to bat the draw.

I just want to watch something that is not this.

It's not gonna do much good when both bowlers are going at four an over.
