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

[FreoRicci]

These two will look to take the pressure and countdown the balls left for the day. Very slow approach

 

[Maddo11]

Once trav hits a boundary I might exhale

 

[ams4crows]

Too early to start clapping singles?

I'm clapping every time they survive a ball haha

 

[Foucault1989]

That Steve Smith shot is downright criminal.

No foot movement

 

[dumb]

Touch low and slow, not middling them

 

[Anzacpaul]

Shows what I know about cricket, I thought Anderson retired years ago.

Bloke is 40 years old.

There's a heap of early 1900 guys that played until their late 40s, early 50s but in the modern game it's an amazing effort.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Ashes does him tbh.

 

[magic_johnson!]

I agree all are silly. If it's a cocky express bowler who's given you the 145k treatment with attitude, fair enough, but not the 130k line and lengther,

I think fair play. I’d be up and about for every last wicket

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

How many more overs?

 

[hawkman]

Batting conditions don't look too hard. If we stay patient we will win here I think.

Just slow and hard to score

 

[Crankyhawk]

Too early to start clapping singles?

No

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Betting odds are hilarious. Even money. What bowling lineup and pitch are they looking at?

Australia has already and may further make this chase look a little bit more difficult than it needs to be.

But this game is already over.

I just turned 40, dont feel so old

 

[ams4crows]

How many more overs?

60 ?

Love your confidence

Well, I supposed if Fernando Alonso can drive an F1 at 41, Anderson can throw a ball.

 

[largebus]

How many more overs?

56 after this one

 

[showusyacunningt]

Let him get his eye in Tubby

 

[grumbleguts]

Scott Boland now averages 20 with the bat and 9.16 with the ball in 4th innings of test matches.

 

[dumb]

You weren't exactly known for your sparkling stroke play tubs

 

[HK_Hawk]

FFS, any chance our batsmen can perhaps push the ball into gaps and rotate strike? We've been woeful at this for years. If we just played smart and pushed the ball around we'd do this in a cake walk

 

[danstar]

about 45 overs, left in day, its whatever they get up to by 3am eastern plus 15 overs

 

[Anzacpaul]

Boys just need to relax. No rush to score. nothing stupid please.

Shut up Tubby you campaigner. No pressure to score

 

[Belnakor]

Usman is digging himself a very very deep hole here

 

[Foucault1989]

Hopefully the pitch quickens up with the sun out
