*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[Furball]

That's true I didn't. He conceded 1 run in the first 3 overs or something like that - so I was going by that

Jesus wept.

..while watching Cook bat

 

[weldone]

One of those dismissals where you can't quite believe what's happened.

Utterly farcical if we don't get the full 90. Absolutely no reason not to get them in other than stupid rule making.

ever heard of 'slow over rate'?

 

[Tangles]

Looked like wood broke of the shoulder of Broads bat on that short one he fended.

 

[Antihippy]

Like, I want to say england's day, but I have no idea how they lost 7 wickets with the way we bowled.

 

[weldone]

Even stevens after day 1

 

[Pothas]

Was that a good day? I really don't know. I did enjoy it though.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Probably about evens but its hard to tell. We want at least 450.

Of the Bowlers Lyon was good as was Hazlewood.

Starc dreadful until that one great spell.

Johnson frankly was crap.

 

[Howe_zat]

Think you'd rather be the side with the runs on the board but Buttler getting out at the end soured it so so much

 

[OverratedSanity]

Apart from Root, most of the cricket was mediocre. Lyon and Haze were alright.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

I know the likelihood is it won't happen but a full troll 30-40 from Broad tomorrow would do us good.

 

[Pothas]

For all the moaning about the pitch (largely correct) 343-7 looks like a perfect opening day.

 

[GIMH]

Fairly similar score to opening day at Cardiff 09 if am not mistaken

Did we score that quickly? All I can really remember of that day is KP getting out.

If only they were playing in a country where it's still light until 9pm.

336/7

 

[Gob]

Very difficult to score 340 runs in the first day and not to have the better day unless you are batting in Adelaide. Anything under 400 and Estraya would be happy. Starc is the key tommo morning can see him cleaning up.

I remember getting in from work and Freddie was belting them, Prior too

 

[GIMH]

We were 329-7 when Prior got out at Cardiff 09

 

[Gob]

And **** this pitch seriously. I'd rather play in Chittagong
