*Official* First Test at Lord's

[Woodster]

Good couple of strikes from Praveen, Morgan looked uncertain with the ball swinging there, had one swing in and then one out, then an indeterminate stroke saw him inside edge it. Tough to start against really, very good bowling.

 

[vcs]

Prior in a situation like this scares me though.

 

[jan]

KP'ed

And PK'ed in return

 

[shankar]

He needs carry,bounce and movement of the track or reverse.Never been a swing bowler.

His stock ball was an inswinger for the first half of his career.

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh ffs.

Yea absolutely.

 

[Jono]

A chanceless innings.

Dravid put him down

 

[Tom Halsey]

He's definitely bowled fuller today.

But no fuller than those two balls to Cook right at the start - which Cook didn't edge.

 

[Cevno]

Guess morgan has not played the 100's of bowlers like PK in the county scene.

 

[silentstriker]

No hotspot on morgan..I guess he knew he hit it so he didn't review? Might have been overturned tbh.

 

[Spark]

But no fuller than those two balls to Cook right at the start - which Cook didn't edge.

Nah those weren't that full. Hence why they were able to move a mile.

 

[vcs]

India desperately need Ishant/Harbhajan to do a decent supporting role here. Can't give away cheap runs to the new batsmen.

EDIT: And there's your half-tracker. **** off. Utter tripe.

Given his crap FC record maybe he has?

 

[kingpin]

If only we have Zaheer from other End!!!!

 

[Stapel]

Did Morgan really nick it??????

 

[Kylez]

Prior vs Praveen will be an interesting battle.

Prior is a superb player through the offside and never hesitates to have a go if the ball is full and wide. I wonder how he'll play Praveen's probing little outswingers.

 

[Spark]

And meanwhile, back over at Ishantland...

 

[silentstriker]

Hotspot shows the pad! I guess Morgan was sure about an inside edge!

Holy crap bumble says Morgan might have thought he was out LBW lol.

 

[Woodster]

Bizarre non-referral from Morgan, no additional evidence on the replays to suggest he nicked off. A review may well have reversed the umpire's decision. Morgan must have been convinced he got a very slight edge on it.

 

[silentstriker]

Want to see hawk eye on that Morgan dismissal lol.
