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

[grumbleguts]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, oooooooo. Lol love the 'Hollies' everytime when the first few balls of a session go by and how into it they are. Atmosphere is incredible

The entire English cricket fanbase are a bunch of drunken morons. Spent an entire day in the crowd at the Gabba went home with a migraine because the stupid bastards wouldn't shut the f**k up. Annoying gits. Didn't go to the cricket to put up with their pathetic renditions of 350,000 green bottles or whatever the f**k they were mumbling.

Absolutely smashed, smacked the terrible hack

There should be a poll up about what that breaking news was.

My vote is 'Bazball' is being renamed 'Brendanball' after protests from Brendon McCullum no one has ever called him Baz.

"The incident occurred in the 89th over of Australia’s innings, when Ali sprayed a drying agent on his bowling hand at the boundary line before coming on to bowl the next over, thus defying the umpires’ pre-series instructions about not using anything on their hands without prior approval."

Should be the same as 2 beamers - out of the attack for rest of innings

But we want Moeen in the attack

 

[Southerntakeover]

If they can keep this run rate up the pressure will be on England pretty quick. That leads dwindling.

 

[chickenonachain]

Gotta laugh when the we hit a great shot the crowd goes silent

 

[Stax on the mill]

So good to listen to SOK speaking on Nine, wish he could have a fairer go as a cricket commentator compared to his test career.

Mmm. Yeah/nah.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I love they are trying to defend Ali shithouse bowling

Give Brook another bowl

 

[Southerntakeover]

English are averaging a wicket per ball change this series.

 

[10Dulkar]

Best one was when the ball got hit into someone's beer in the crowd.

 

[11kgm]

Now they get yet another replacement ball

 

[Santana]

Feels like they having a look at the ball every 20 minutes

It was Moeen Ali being fined for using moisturizer on his hands without permission

 

[Plugger35]

Forget the Summer of Smith, this looks being the Summer of Usman.

Are you English? you must be... we Aussies don't want him out of the attack

Why should Australia be penalised for it?

 

[Mr Experience]

Piss the Duke ball off, this is a farce

 

[Jamurp]

Need a replacement keeper and spinner not ball.

Ali got medical treatment without umpire's consent. #notallenglish

 

[Magma]

changing the ball so often they're gonna need to use the kookaburras soon

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dont'worry if he Knicks it and it goes through to the keeper he is fine

Lol so far he’s 3/57 and still in somehow

 

[Saint12]

Not a dolly for mine.

That's why you don't keep for England

 

[Westend]

Piss the Duke ball off, this is a farce

How many is that now in this innings ?? are we up to number 4 ball used ?

 

[corbies]

That scuff mark actually wasnt from the concrete but rather Moeen's cheating finger.

 

[Beejay Crow]

He stood in the shadow of his father. Finally he got his chance to represent his country with the gloves just as his father, David, had before him. Watch as he drops catches and misses stumpings. Fatranga the Movie, coming to Cinemas near you.

But, but, but we can score at 5 RPO in a test match, who cares if he can't catch..
