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

[GotSpin]

How we leave the ball outside the off stump is so important

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Cricinfo reckons Anderson's pace is up to a swift 84kph.

 

[Molehill]

Because broad has nicked a ton off left handers off going around the wicket and it's what he's trained himself to do to left handers.

But Anderson hasn't, never used to come around to left handers. Even in the WTC India had him nicking behind twice from over the wicket.

These lads don't know how to shine the ball using their crotches?
What's with all this shining of the ball using their palms covered by their shirt?

[CartyDurham]

The talk before hand i read was that he wasnt in great form, yet hes looked great in this match

He’s going to win the game for the Aussies

Its a huge wicket if we can get him inside the first hour

 

[Son Of Coco]

Will have to wake up in the morning and see if Santa has come.

Sun has just poked through so should drop back to 78 or so

 

[Burgey]

Doesn’t he play for NZ?

 

[GotSpin]

That’s such a well played over from big ***y

 

[Molehill]

That's 4 very average overs, Boland looking comfortable.

 

[CartyDurham]

Boland is looking very comfortable here

Robinson has left the field

He does, but an Australian win really gets him going.

 

[Nintendo]

Ollie pope doesn't even have a six pack, nerd.

Is this how your parents explained nocturnal emissions to you

 

[TimAngas]

This Voulez Vous chant is not the Barmy Army's finest.

I’ve got a full 24 pack slab

 

[Burgey]

@thierry henry who is the shorter out of Duckett and Pope?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

They should bring on Moeen Ali imo

 

[chris.hinton]

Borland is looking a bit decent here. He won't last long but whatever runs he gets is a bonus for Australia

 

[Burgey]

Boland is looking very comfortable here

Robinson has left the field

Can’t knock his efforts at getting into line, that’s for sure
