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

[Jamurp]

Pitch is so flat I kinda want to watch that Warnie film.

I wonder how Broad, Anderson & co secretly felt about Stokes requesting flat wickets for the series...I can't imagine they would of been over the moon.

This is Brearley stuff.

Next he’ll be switching mid on & fine leg.

Cummo can make a 50 here

This English side is no different to the one that went completely to water last Ashes in Aus.

They are running on fumes at the moment and they’ve bowled 90 overs in 17 degree heat for just over a day.

It’s their first day of bowling for 6 weeks of back to back cricket.

We need to just completely disintegrate them in the field this series, Broad and Anderson don’t have the patrol tickets and Robinson is a pea heart.

It is an interesting factor with England’s tactics that hasn’t really been discussed. Our bowlers are going to bowl a lot less overs then theirs, and have a lot more time sitting down as we’ve already seen so far this match. It’s the first time BazBall has played a 4-5 match series, with so much cricket in so little time does that have an impact?

 

[Jimmy#17]

**** me. Get on with it.

 

[MinerBoy]

Not really. Just not as negative as you.

Yeah ok

Interpretive skills lacking is how I’d describe you. Jog on mate.

Get on with it campaigners

 

[ptrg]

What's the issue?

Why the Ashes?
Why couldn't it just have been something, anything else and done it's own thing.
Like the vast majority watching this, I have zero interest in the "women's ashes" - and get tired of getting told how it's "just as important" yadayada

 

[Sir_Loin]

I hate Warner more than Clarke, he might have bad taste when it comes to women but Clarke was a great batsman and a good captain.

Both have great taste in women you must be batting well above average to make that call dickhead

 

[Foucault1989]

Bazball....fast entertaining cricket except for the slow over rate, 2 minute meetings before every over and dramatic field changes mid over.....this is bad for test cricket Stokes. Hurry up

 

[Santana]

What's the overrate like?

 

[deedog2]

Gun clearance midfielder, impossible matchup.

I agree, can't wait for you to get Rivers and Van Rooyen from us and you will be even better!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Ffs hurry up

 

[Southerntakeover]

Didn't take the Poms long to turn to coward tactics.

Body lining a tail ender.

 

[TigerCraig]

Did they have 6 on leg side?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Yeah ok

No, you can jog on and take the dark cloud with you.

 

[Bedi]

At least 10

judging by the unsteadiness on foot as he lurches back and forward towards the camera i reckon he's cracked a dozen. Give the man a chair

 

[Jimmy#17]

With all the talk about BazBall speeding up the game, the Poms need to just to make up for their slow bowling.

Must have been a rough 4-6 seconds in the coverage.

 

[Gough]

This is Brearley stuff.

Next he’ll be switching mid on & fine leg.

Or roping Freddie Titmus into the team.

 

[ams4crows]

Well played Cummins, the trap was set but was good enough to play through it

 

[Sir_Loin]

With all the talk about BazBall speeding up the game, the Poms need to just to make up for their slow bowling.

Pure marketing

 

[Donnie Darko]

Stokes placed amazing faith in Moeen as he went for like 5 an over.
I dont know what will happen in the 2nd innings but I hope Root gets more overs.

It's a great point. I am so curious to see how Bazball plays out in the long term. We just need to play our game and grind them down.
