Wow we've got one cricinfo contributor saying about one shot, you completely win the argument.

Look it's flat, it's the first day of a test it's meant to be pretty flat, there have been balls that deviate though, it is no flatter than about 50% of test matches I've watched on the first day.
Is that why there is less deviation than virtually every test

Moan about the pitch now you useless ****ers. Can't drop those.
I'll moan about the pitch all I want. Unless this massively deteriorates this pitch should get demerit points. This was true after five overs of play and it's still true now.

I never ever want to see anyone saying this isn't a flat out highway complain about decks like Indore or Ahmedabad 2019 again.

You're calling it unfit after 60 overs? At least see how Australia bat first? Maybe they'll get rolled out for 200.

Ofc but it did look unbelievably out live. To be fair he's better off doing that than trying to go back to full balls and getting pinned like Pope. That sort of dismissal ****s me
Just being my facetious self mate. I was sat in traffic listening to TMS. Some sort of lorry/motorbike collision on other side of the A road I drive up for the school run.

Was my last ever school run too

Anyway looking healthy here. This day has been the epitome of ebb and flow

is there something wrong in calling a road a road? if this is how the home team wants their pitches then more power to them, it just makes it boring for the others to watch

Arrogant ****ing English supporters the moment they had a year of decent performances. An embarrassment of a cricketing nation with population and money yet no success without doctored pitches, 'boundary counts' and Murray Mints

Get better bowlers, oh and England bats hit the ballearly, so those stats are almost utterly pointless.

Anywhoo, be intresting to see how Moeen goes now, big applause for Moeen.
