1st Ashes Test England v Australia June 16-20 1930hrs @ Edgbaston

[TigerCraig]

Is there even eleven blokes who aren't dickheads in England?

Not since 1788

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Seems like a legitimately good bloke.

Him smith Kohli all seem to appreciate good knocks. Kohli went up to Travis head at stumps or lunch to congratulate him when he made his century

 

[Peter Bixley]

That's an absolutely terrible shot decision.
Terrible moment in the game for it.
Terrible a senior player fell into it.
Terrible that 2 bowlers are now at the crease.
Terrible we're still 30 odd runs behind.

Not great.

Maybe not. But I feel a hell of a lot better than I did after Smith got out.

The Vic Government/TAC interlock ad is this series Demand a Commander.

 

[Iceman!]

Cummins might wake up after that rob tickler.

Can only hope

Our tail ended is 30 (57) and people are still bagging him

 

[Syd_Bombay]

Well Starc isn’t playing…

Well Warner is !!

 

[ams4crows]

Lyon doesn't look likely at all!! Is he still asleep?

 

[tombomb]

I always bag cricket commentary but this isn't too bad. They mostly just shut up.

Pietersen is a bit much when he comes on, but otherwise it is pretty good.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Lyon will middle one soon...hopefully

 

[Silver Tongue]

Captaincy thus far:
Stokes: 10/10
Cummins: 2/10 (a generous 2/10)

I wonder what happened to the Commander woman

It's pure English grand standing

 

[Moonwatcher]

Middled

 

[manureid]

Lyon getting out hooking. No surer thing

 

[Westend]

yup no lead coming up

 

[Plugger35]

People here complaining about Robinson's carry on must have never watched Starc or Brett Lee carry on like pork chops when they took a wicket.

 

[RAPPA]

Lol England all over them

 

[Foucault1989]

Good one Lyon.

 

[badgrill]

He mouthed “* off” straight to Usman after he got him out.
Saw the umpire walk over to him straight after it happened, he’ll be getting fined for that.

"Fuxk off, you ****ing ..." and then the replay cut away lol

 

[ams4crows]

That was silly Lyon

 

[swanssince2002]

Yep fell for the direct trap, what can ya do

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The absolute dumb campaigners we have in this team….

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Lyon will middle one soon...hopefully

Pretty much middled that one. Better off not middling them.

 

[Cleavy]

Dammit Lyon, natural game.

 

[Nicho50]

As much as Khawaja has improved out of sight he’s still prone to the odd brain fade.

Carried his bat for an entire day and almost another session today. Doesn’t deserve any criticism at all. Head and Marnus got out to awful shots.
