*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[Uppercut]

lol at the ball not carrying.

Haha and again. What have they done to the pitch?

 

[Pothas]

**** me this bounce. Sort your **** England.

Wales. How many times do we have to say this.

 

[Primrose_D12]

Vicious swing on the ball by Starc

 

[Cabinet96]

First they deliver the worst opening ceremony in the history of humanity, now the worst pitch in the history of humanity.

Who'd have guessed Cardiff would do a **** job.

 

[Uppercut]

It was never going to be quick, none of the pitches will be. Anyone who thought they would be is a bit dopey.

Well obvs not but you definitely don't expect that kind of bounce in the first over of a test match.

 

[Cabinet96]

It's probably just Starc's floaty 90mph stuff tbf.

Bring back Steve Watkin, he knew how to bowl here.

 

[ajdude]

the "ENG 0/0" bit on the channel 9 scorecard is a fraction too low.

seriously someone fix this, my OCD is coming to the surface

 

[WalkingWicket]

Cook to be caught at short leg gully (or wherever that guy under the lid is) trying to flick.

Do at Cardiff, always been slow and low.

 

[adub]

Anything at the pegs is going to be hard

 

[Spark]

Thanks ECB

 

[WalkingWicket]

1st edge of the day...

 

[Bahnz]

**** me, might as well scrap the slips now, there won't be many carrying through.

 

[Spikey]

Haha and again. What have they done to the pitch?

well it's dead.

because of the ceremony

 

[Cabinet96]

Cook to be caught at short leg gully (or wherever that guy under the lid is) trying to flick.

Luckily Alex Doolan isn't playing.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Racing along.

 

[fredfertang]

Now I've lost my ****ing glasses - don't you just hate it when the phone goes

 

[Spikey]

**** me, might as well scrap the slips now, there won't be many carrying through.

over our dead bodies - watson and clarke

 

[TheJediBrah]
