*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

[Molehill]

Can we have that declaration back? An extra 40 odd runs would be quite handy now....

 

[G. S. Kohli]

494 Wkts by Lyon

Sorry Ashwin

 

[CartyDurham]

Did you like that slow finger, slowfinger?

three reds, I thought it was out live

yet again the rollercoaster of up and downs continues

lead 203

494 wickets for Lyon is truly outstanding. An all time great spinner

Guy never gets injured either so could play for another 5 years

 

[CartyDurham]

.

7 in the match for Lyon. He’s kept Australia in this

 

[Gob]

Only reason that this game is still alive entirely down to individual players from Australia like Lyon and Khawaja

Collective planning has been dog ****

 

[Spark]

Yeah Lyon has been superb in this game. The transformation in his bowling since Delhi has been stark

not quite Rudi Koetzen-esque but great television

Could get close to Warne total certainly.

I worry about giving them a lead in series though

But at least 5 of those have been gifted to him.

 

[Croadymeister]

Yeah we have given far too many away

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Aus will take last 4 wickets in next 50 minutes for 35-41 runs

 

[slowfinger]

this could be Ali's last test innings if it doesn't go well

 

[CartyDurham]

But at least 5 of those have been gifted to him.

Agreed but we have to try and get another 100 out of the last four wickets. If we can I’m confident England win or at least draw

lead 208

 

[Molehill]

Yeah we have given far too many away

In fact, you could argue it was all 7. Brook being an idiot twice, 3 stumpings and 2 lbw's to reverse sweeps.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

I wish great weather Tomorrow.captain innings by Ben

 

[Son Of Coco]

But at least 5 of those have been gifted to him.

Virtually only plays test cricket as well as he’s rarely available for fc so limited wear on the body

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m thinking of a stokes and leach style partnership here to break Aussie hearts
