*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[GIMH]

This is a lol post.

...not only because Williamson and Younis are much better than Root atm.

Maybe not 'much', but they're better...Also, Amla and Angelo Matthews are at least at par with Root I reckon

surely it's time you were given 'sledger in Tendulkar threads' status whenever you post in an England thread.

I think I need new friends.

 

[Primrose_D12]

Thanks for this, ESPN3.

What you wanted to say all along.

No

I haven't seen us bowl this much legside trash in ages

Ya me neither...and this is mainly about the 2 Mitchells, Hazlewood has done alright in terms of line I think

 

[Furball]

Some people are seriously over-reacting based on today's knock from Root so far. Sure it has been a good counter-attacking knock, but let's not forget that he hasn't been at all convincing against Haze, he gave an easy chance when he started, the Mitchells have sprayed it all over, and the pitch is slow. This is not one knock based on which people should start getting erections FFS.

Agreed, let him average close to 100 over the course of a year first of all before we get too excited...

So, not thinking Root is better than Younis and Williamson at the moment makes me sledger!

You mean he's solely posting to troll and wind people up? Say it ain't so!

 

[Primrose_D12]

What's Ballance doing playing at a delivery like that?

How much do Williamson and Younis average over the course of the last year?

 

[Pothas]

Smith's awful ashes begins.

 

[Furball]

Not out, even if it had carried.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Will never understand watching recorded sports. Don't care what sport it is. I was trying to explain to someone why I woke up at 2:45 a.m. to watch this because if I'd gotten up at 6 (1 hour ago) I'd have just tuned in to the live broadcast.

The response I got? "Sports are stupid"

... okay.

One of the things I miss about the pre-internet age is coming home to an event I didn't know the result of

 

[Spikey]

if he had edged it, it would have been squarer and easily to catch, no?

What's your point?

 

[Primrose_D12]

Did that even hit the bat?

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Yeah he didn't nick that. Crap attempt at the catch though.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Ballance getting a bit more expansive here.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Worth pointing out that it's raining in London. A rare win for ECB

 

[Spikey]

nevill gave up a lot of byes in that tour match
