*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[wpdavid]

And sure enough, another soft **** dismissal when set instead of going on with it. Dickheads, the lot of them

 

[Pothas]

Ok this is not going so well.

 

[BeeGee]

Huge wicket. Aus on top.

 

[Goughy]

Anyone else found this underwhelming? Aus could have done so much damage in that first session. England get 300+ and they have done well.

 

[Spark]

**** that's well bowled. Change of angle there. Clever, clever stuff. Poms in strife.

Without wanting to sound like the comms he is using the crease superbly

 

[NUFAN]

you can give him that blow now n00fers

Haha, why couldn't I like your last post? Don't be too concerned at the SCG if Siddle takes a wicket.

 

[stephen]

Siddle!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAG.

I must admit, I preferred Harris and Bird to Siddle, but Siddle has done the business today.

 

[Spark]

that scared the **** out of me

and i'm still in the last man standing **** yeah

Haha yeah violent dismissal

 

[Burgey]

lucky there, but yes!!! the big, big wicket

It's not lucky mate. It was cleverly bowled.

 

[Maximas]

what was that Strauss was talking about before? something about Australian's being proud of Warner punching a pre-pubescent boy in a pub at 2am?

 

[Jono]

Victorians > all

 

[Spikey]

Siddle bowling so well Smitteh has seen fit to thank him. A massive honour

 

[Cabinet96]

that scared the **** out of me

and i'm still in the last man standing **** yeah

Haha yeah violent dismissal

Loudest dismissal ever?

 

[Spikey]

Impressed with how quickly Trott went into the anger stage.

 

[Furball]

Without wanting to sound like the comms he is using the crease superbly

Is he bowling at 140 though? #bigissues

Trott's reaction

Crass cricket all round. Aus bowled poorly before lunch but still had twice as many wickets as they should have had. Since then we've just reverted to what we did for most of the last 18 months and tried to hand them the initiative with a string of gimme dismissals. They won't learn though. 1989 anyone?

No, not from an Australian perspective.

 

[ajdude]

what should ajdude have to eat sweepstakes for those playing at home

a) a bowl of easy mac
b) one of those maggi 2 minute noodle things
c) a bag of burger rings
d) an orange

 

[Cricket Brain]

Poor shot there from Trott, quite uncharacteristic from him. Credit must go to Siddle though, he's bounced back incredibly well from his first spell.

Why twice as many? Surely you have to give some credit to the bowlers, particularly with Root's dismissal.
