*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Spikey]

Fmd this **** is the white Sobers. What an on drive. That's as good a shot as you can see.

Clearly he is our Ponting replacement

 

[Burgey]

English crowd cheers as the great man mistimes a bump ball for a dot.

 

[Jono]

This is so so soso so soo sossoso good

 

[Dan]

That lofted on-drive was seriously ***y.

 

[Jono]

Fmd this **** is the white Sobers.

Half Lankan buddy. He is the beige Sobers.

 

[NUFAN]

Vic's mate with the new bat company TNF must be absolutely loving this, the absolute best and unexpected form of advertising, sales should go through the roof.

 

[Burgey]

Meanwhile the lead approaches 40.....

 

[Uppercut]

That pitch map of seamers to Agar is absolutely damning.

 

[adub]

Yes Prince

 

[Burgey]

This is the best thing for Hughes. Taken the pressure off him completely.

Great shot The Prince.

 

[Viscount Tom]

No doubt the kid has talent. That shot of his toes just then from Broad is pure class. In many ways better than the pull shots and drives.

Just saying its easy to think he'll come in and bat like this fairly regularly. I remember thinking Johnson would do it too after his SA series in 09.

Looks much better technically than MJ though.

 

[MW1304]

Nah shut up about Johnson comparisons. The kid has played 11 FC games, making his debut (actually) in an Ashes Test and not only scraped your team out of a hole but played one of the more remarkable innings' of all time. This isn't gonna be a one off. He can defs bat.

 

[Dan]

Meanwhile the lead approaches 40.....

And Hughes is slowly accumulating, flying under the radar

 

[Burgey]

That pitch map of seamers to Agar is absolutely damning.

Always a terrible mistake to bowl to tail enders like they aren't batsmen.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Looks comfy batting

 

[Maximas]

a couple a centuries on the cards here I'd say

 

[Bahnz]

If these two bat through to tea do we have the extra half hour again?

 

[Uppercut]

Always a terrible mistake to bowl to tail enders like they aren't batsmen.

Especially when they are.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

worried about 87

 

[Burgey]

Looks much better technically than MJ though.

Oh for sure. Just trying to temper the flight to hyperbole.

But dont get me wrong I think this is one of the most amazing things I've seen in test cricket in a very long time.
