*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Prince EWS]

Do you mean on here or generally? I think it's been pretty good in the tour thead tbh.

Generally. There's definitely been some crap in here but it's been good on the whole in this thread. Plenty of crap in the Wambulance thread and on CS (although that's to be expected).

Based on what I saw in this Test, I can, for the very first time, unhesitatingly say that Anderson is every bit Steyn's equal as of today. Incredible skill with old and new balls, he seemed like picking up wickets every single time he came around.

when they showed it i thought it was a frame after but i doubt it could've been anything else

yeah same. so much doubt there, but so little other options

wanted that so much

You need to contact NASA mate, to inform them how you got to the planet your living on.

Speed of sound, etc.

yes from the bat to the stump mic one and half metres away

Clearly Haddin knew he'd hit it. Should've walked as an example to Broad on how to do it


edit: I see my point has already been made. Should read the last 2 pages before posting

Fair enough.

Think the only possible change for Australia would be Cowan dropping out, and possibly Starc with Khawaja and Harris coming in. Wouldn't surprise me if we went with the same XI though.

 

[Ruckus]

I hope Haddin puts to rest that he nicked it in a presser. Don't need this bull**** trivial drs stuff tainting an awesome match.

@ItsM1tchRL: Ed Cowan had such a bad game...Parramatta have offered him a 5 year $750k contract

The first Ashes test I have ever watched complete from ball 1 to the very last one. Simply great.

**** Broad though.

Is Warner ever going to be in contention?

 

[Flametree]

What is it with Australia and heroic but failing fourth innings chases? Border and Thommo, Lee and Kasprowicz, Hobart vs NZ, now this...

Gold. Really cheered me up.

 

[Ruckus]

btw can someone fill me in on the broad 'timewasting' incident?

 

[Cricket Brain]

After calming down and reflecting upon it, I think the right decision was made in the end. Small mark on Hot Spot which couldn't have been caused by anything else, and there was definitely noise on the audio corresponding to the ball passing the bat. In regards to Snicko don't forget that its always slightly behind the vision.

 

[GIMH]

So erm if he didnt hit it then what was the sound and mark?

 

[ajdude]

10/10

Third Test at the earliest for Warner apparently.

Which again is why suspending him from warmups was so ridiculous. Should've just let him play the warmups so he was ready to go and then suspended him from the first Test, given his suspension effectively rubbed him out of that anyway. The Warner situation is an absolute shambles.

Yeah, I know, I think we all would
