*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Aug 4-8 - 2021

[trundler]

Johnny Bairstow is not a test match #5 6 7.. never mind

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Lokesh Rahul with the goalie save there

 

[wpdavid]

wtf was that running supposed to be?

 

[wpdavid]

TMS reckon this is Bairstow's first FC innings of the summer. Maybe true for Buttler and Curran too?

EDIT
Yup - Buttler and Curran's last FC matches were in Chennai and Galle respectively.

I do feel that Shardul is kind of pointless. Definitely miss Ashwin here, and more so in the second innings.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bairstow is slowly finding his rhythm...

The lord triumphs over the guy with over 800k youtube subscribers.

Indeed. 75 Test matches now, but he's getting there....

 

[honestbharani]

On the Shardul-Ashwin debate, I think it was more based on the forecast than the pitch conditions. A spinner with a wet ball is not even like a quarter effective as they normally are. At least the seamer can try to swing it with the overhead conditions.

 

[trundler]

Safe to say Root's slump is a thing of the past now...

..... all the way back to the pavilion. Another good review by India.

 

[Neptune]

What a shite dismissal ****ing hell.

 

[harsh.ag]

Sibley and Lawrence with the kind of dismissals which make fans die a little inside.

 

[honestbharani]

Shami is easily the bowler of the day so far but this spell from Bumrah to Buttler so far has been something else.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not one of the better 17 ball ducks one will see.

No need to play at that at all.

 

[Heboric]

Jos goes

 

[honestbharani]

Just reward for a great spell of bowling there for Boom Boom.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Brilliant over by Bumrah. Worked over Buttler so well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is Indian fans with Sam Curran

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So predictable, we are awful.
