1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Spikey]

he should go back to Somerset, he'd get better

 

[Malcolm]

Yea Cummo!

 

[Burgey]

Good length but feet nowhere. That’s a terrible dismissal

 

[slippy888]

Buttler was never gonna last long here he not a genuine number 6 at this level maybe a number 7 or 8 batsman when there is no pressure

 

[Starfighter]

If Lyon had any sort of arm ball he'd get Stokes easily, as he's playing them on line.

 

[Burgey]

Man, Cunmins looks like he’s hitting the gloves so much harder this innings than the first

 

[trundler]

Another LO hack terminated. What has Lyon done differently from Moeen?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ball was doing enough yesterday as well. Moeen being crap and root being stupid didn't help.

Another LO hack terminated. What has Lyon done differently from Moeen?

Bowled with control, accuracy and a good amount of revs on the ball.

 

[Starfighter]

What has Lyon done differently from Moeen?

Actually bowl the ball somewhere in the general direction of the stumps.

 

[quincywagstaff]

England looking like a ODI batting lineup trying in vain to convince themselves they are a viable Test batting side.

 

[quincywagstaff]

This is going to be a paddling. Christ, from 8/120 day one to this. Crazy.

So may of you are too young to remember 89. This smells of it.

Yeah, this does have a feel of 1989 about it in more ways than one.

 

[trundler]

Will Bairstow get bowled or nick off?

 

[trundler]

Lyon bowling with the glasses on. Shady.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah, this does have a feel of 1989 about it in more ways than one.

Let's not overdo it.

 

[slippy888]

Lyon bowling with the glasses on. Shady.

No need for Lyon to change up anything it might distract his bowling and he might not land the ball where he wants now.

 

[Starfighter]

They really love using up a big chunk of the potential boundary with that stupid fence-inside-the-main-fence arrangement.

 

[slippy888]

Bairstow and Stokes are capable of batting along time.

 

[Spikey]

I thought that was too high up

 

[Spikey]

oh wow he got it
