*Official* First Test at Lord's

[duffer]

Here's to a good series Poms! C'mon Indiaaaaaaarrrrrggghhhhhhh.....

 

[Dan]

Big movement from that first ball. Zaheer's going to be pretty dangerous.

 

[CricAddict]

Zak to do some early damage hopefully. Really interested to see how PK goes though.

Think it would be PK who would take the early wicket, and then go quiet for a long time..

 

[Rush]

C'mon Zak!! Hopefully we get Cook early, he's their best batsman atm for my money. Trott not far behind and Bell's recent form is imperious as well.

 

[Uppercut]

Anything less than 3 down at lunch would be a disaster for India. It doesnt get much more bowler friendly than this.

Indeed. The only consolation for England is that there's no sign of the weather improving today or tomorrow.

 

[Spikey]

no drs for lbw's including knicks

 

[Dan]

And my first nitpick.

DEEP SQUARE LEG FFS

This. I don't see why you wouldn't go all-out on the attack in these conditions...

EDIT: Holy s*** Praveen's moving it.

 

[Uppercut]

Tipping Praveen to nick out Cook early.

 

[Spark]

Jesus. That's a nice first cherry.

 

[Contra]

LOL pk

 

[miscer]

Haha England won't like the look of that first ball.

yea haha excellent toss to win, this. nice swing by pk too

 

[Uppercut]

Jeeesus that's some serious swing.

 

[Daemon]

[TumTum]

Tipping Praveen to nick out Cook early.

[Cevno]

Needs to bring one back in to Cook now.

 

[Goughy]

A billion people and two opening bowlers slower than me

Big swing though
