*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

Wait why does your TV do this?

GIMH has transported his brain inside his TV.

 

[ajdude]

just realised I have no way of watching this on my phone in bed, usually Foxtel Go does the trick. ****

Is there anything, perhaps aside from weldone's posting in this subforum, that is worse than when your TV notes 'no activity' and starts auto-shut down leaving you to frantically search for the remote

every test match ffs

I watch on my computer usually; if I weren't posting at the same time on my second monitor the display would shut off on me after 30 minutes. Happens to me in every sport I watch too *shakes fist*

 

[weldone]

Lol, Starc is bowling all over the place.

 

[GIMH]

To save power if nobody is watching, presumably

The TiVo box does it too. Fortunately the TV alert reminded me to press a few buttons on the Virgin remote so that knows I'm watching

I've got conference calls in an hour so best make sure it doesn't happen then

Ballance owning Starc

 

[Furball]

BTW I'm going to put this out there to be mocked come series end but I'd rather have Siddle bowling in England over Johnson.

 

[Antihippy]

This is why I was dreading Harris being gone. Don't need 2 misfiring Mitches.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Bumble and Beefy having a similar discussion about Starc as here. He is certainly looking a little out of sorts but he could still make something happen imo.

cricketweb is on Mixlr. Mixlr is a simple way to share live audio ...

Cabinet & I on comms

Root isn't convincing against Haze.

 

[Riggins]

That still doesn't put him in the same league as Boult though.

You're right. The left arm opening bowler who averages 32 is no way comparable to the left arm opening bowler who averages 27.

 

[Antihippy]

If only starc could land the ball on off-stump.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wait are we seriously arguing Starc is on Boult's level? This is weird. Starc's done nothing in test cricket, compared to Boult. Boult is top 3 in the world.

In fairness, none of the Aussie bowlers have looked completely unthreatening at any stage. They've just been inaccurate.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

That was a pretty standard Ballance nick. No feet prodding. Lucky man.

Also this pitch looks REALLY dry. It may well be hand grenades on Sunday if the weather isn't a washout.

Apparently looking like a world class fast bowler makes you one. Steve Harmison will be delighted to find out he was world class for a decade.

Doubt it tbh. Reckon it'll just get slower and slower and slower, and even if it turns, it'll be so slow you could play it whilst asleep.

they have tv on the television now

they also have beds in bedrooms now. where i currently am and my television is not

 

[Primrose_D12]

Mitchell Johnson back into the attack. Wonder if he'll have a better spell this time.
