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

[Cmarsh]

Solid start now we are going to go to water.

 

[RandB]

We can't afford to have Labs in a form slump. 1st drop is too important. Coaches have to stamp this shit out now.

 

[Plugger35]

This is more like it.

Broad steaming in.

 

[showusyacunningt]

This is the partnership here. Don't have a lot of faith in anything after this.

 

[ams4crows]

We aren't even at 80 how are we getting 200 more??

 

[Ligma]

Your wicket you were supposed to be the night watch!

GO TO SLEEP!

 

[hawkman]

What is it based on? Can’t remember his last truly dominant series

He beat up on the West Indies last summer

 

[dumb]

If we're counting on the last 3 bats to get any more than 0 we're in the poop. Ussie could maybe rotate the strike a bit.

 

[Shueygod]

We have a bloke that’s coming off 140 and the second best bat of all time?

 

[NYRB]

Steve Smith usually takes about 35 balls to have a good look in before getting on the counter.

We were 3/67 in the first innings and got 386. May need some tail-wagging this time though.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

He beat up on the West Indies last summer

Didn’t everyone?

 

[Westend]

Ussie can’t just drop anchor here needs to rotate the strike

 

[Grogg]

I wore a headband like that one like Stueys. Same year I won the club under 16s junior tennis trophy for biggest knob.

 

[ams4crows]

Those 40 runs the English tail put on may just be enough

Settle down. We were 3 for 75 first innings and the pitch is essentially in the same shape. Match remains finely poised, as always.

Steve Smith and Travis Head go all right. Carey is regularly getting 30-50.

 

[Mr Meow]

Those 40 runs the English tail out on may just be enough

Or the 50 England left on the table first innings may have been handy.

 

[Plugger35]

The Hey Root chant going up, if he takes a wicket the whole joint will explode.

 

[Moonwatcher]

We aren't even at 80 how are we getting 200 more??

We got 49 from two players that combined for 9 in the first innings.

What time is stumps?

[Peter Bixley]

Still a very good pitch, this. They can't keep Broad and Robinson on all the time, and the only spin they have is part-time. Wear them down.

 

[Mr Meow]

If Smith goes big we win, simple.

 

[aussierulesrules]

We aren't even at 80 how are we getting 200 more??

With productive cricket shots.

 

[Peter Bixley]

If Smith goes big we win, simple.

A 70 or 80 might be enough.
