*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[grecian]

Root scores another fifty, in other news bears ****ting in woods, popes a catholic, et cetera et cetera.

 

[Howe_zat]

No England player has ever got two tons in an Ashes match at home

 

[Prince EWS]

Run rate suggests otherwise.

Yeah but I think that's been down to poor bowling more than anything else, especially on Day 1.

 

[grecian]

Classic South African looking out for his fellow Englishmen

Blimey have we hit a timewarp?

 

[Uppercut]

Second Stokes one should've been given out imo. Looked dead, hitting most of leg stump.

 

[grecian]

Bizarre.

 

[King Pietersen]

ROOOOOTTT. It's actually unfair having someone this good. Maybe we should give Australia a chance by introducing a handicap system. Root would be a +20. Twatto a -28 hacker.

 

[Antihippy]

50 for ROOOOOTTTTT. What a ****ing man he is. **** Smith, this bloke is the best in the world.

Should try doing it outside england.

Nah, if anything I'm more encouraged after watching this innings. Much better bowling performance compared to the horror show of the first. Hopefully it means that they've finally found their rhythm.

Hoping for our batting to lift.

Never seen someone pick up 11 likes in five minutes before. Kudos.
