*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Manee]

Appeal not convincing.

 

[Manee]

I'm convinced they calibrate the speed guns differently for the Ashes.

Its the crowd, the atmosphere. It livens you up.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

how do you appeal like that and not review, I know it was not out, but that's a bad part of modern cricket, unfortunate that everyone does it and people accept it as the done thing

 

[Furball]

Not that I really think it adds much as a rule, but I find it kinda funny that they don't have a token Australian or anything commentating here. Such an England cheer squad, it's like a C9 commentary team.

Mentioned it earlier in the thread. Warne's in Vegas so he'll be over at some point.

Is McGrath any good?

Is McGrath any good?

Nah. But that's not really a requirement tbf.

 

[Furball]

Did those stricter rules exist in 2010 though?

and is it an british passport or a EU thing? I always assumed given his middle name is Devereux that there's some recent French or low countries blood in him

edit ok then



I was brave

We made KP qualify despite (I think) him always being eligible.

 

[Cabinet96]

I was brave

Nah, ****. You were anything but brave. You thought that Cowan getting out first ball was as close as it would get, and took your chance. I risked it, and waited for Clarke to get out before using it.

1-0 to me bud.

 

[Prince EWS]

Did those stricter rules exist in 2010 though?

Yeah they've always had stricter rules. They've made them even stricter recently but England imposing their own rules on themselves on top of the ICC rules isn't a new thing.

 

[Spikey]

Nah, ****. You were anything but brave. You thought that Cowan getting out first ball was as close as it would get, and took your chance. I risked it, and waited for Clarke to get out before using it.

1-0 to me bud.

by saying this is ADL all over again I was implying another wicket would fall soon, making it just like adl.

0-1

 

[The Battlers Prince]

decent pull shot, well done Smitteh

 

[Jono]

I'd rather no ****ty commentator than a commentator just of another nationality. No McGrath is fine with me.

Holding isn't English of course, but I guess he's been with Sky for so long it almost feels that way.

 

[Cabinet96]

So happy Steve Smith has got another chance in test cricket. Really hope he goes well.

 

[Burgey]

What happened to Broad? I dozed off and just heard he's off the field.

 

[Spikey]

I really liked what I heard from Kasper that one time so someone should give him a chance

 

[Prince EWS]

What happened to Broad? I dozed off and just heard he's off the field.

He got hit on the shoulder while batting, hasn't been on the field at all this innings.

 

[NUFAN]

Great pull from Smith, I know his technique ain't textbook but surely he's going to surprise a few people with his decision making during this series. I'm happy that he's in the team, since he really did perform well for NSW and Australia A.

 

[Maximas]

What happened to Broad? I dozed off and just heard he's off the field.

Having his shoulder iced

 

[dermo]

spikey forever cabinet96 never

 

[Furball]

Nah. But that's not really a requirement tbf.

Shame, reckon be'd have been good value with Atherton and Nasser.

 

[dermo]

What happened to Broad? I dozed off and just heard he's off the field.

more importantly you missed the surprise early entry of rocky balboa
