2019 1st Ashes Test - Edgbaston 1-5 August 2019

[Westend]

Well played boys very professional performance ..bring on lords

Could be a real problem for them. Our bowlers are simply better. Much, much better.

Our batting lineup (read: Smith) is also far better than theirs even in bowling conditions. I don't think they can beat us in a bat-off or bowl-off without a monster effort, so there's no pitch-win for them.

Best attack in the world.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Many slips catches are, but I'd expect those to be caught.

In any case, the Vic vs NSW trope is boring.

Yeah look Smith wouldn’t be happy with it but at least it was when we were 260 ahead lol

Whilst a test match goes for 5 times longer than an ODI, it feels 100 times bigger when winning.

Gotta laugh at Channel 7. Pay for the rights and get a summer of us playing lame.
Channel 9 get one of our greatest wins in England. Sucked in lads.

I even saw a channel 7 ad the other day hyping themselves up as the home of cricket lol

Have a sexy extension that replaces white with a tint to reduce eye strain, can't remember what its called though.

EDIT: It's darkreader I think

Love dark reader, big fan. I use dark mode in Tapatalk though for being on here

 

[Pykie]

if only kayo existed when the rights for this broadcast were being determined

They did.

Their name is Foxtel.

How can you get it wrong? Bowl Lyon and put fielders close.

I reckon we should of been more aggressive to Anderson, why not put 9 fieldsmen around the bat? Might've caught that one that went past slip

You get it wrong by doing a Root and being overly defensive in your field placings, for example.

 

[Joffaboy]

Night lads. Been fun

 

[nobbyiscool]

Is there any bigger come down after one of the great test match wins than Woodbridge's jacket? The **** even is that?

 

[SSwans2011]

Been a while since I've felt this good after a test win.

I think of the last year and a bit that Smith had.

I think of Wade, and the selectors obviously not wanting to pick him, but him leaving them no choice.

I think of Patto and Cummins, and the bowling tandem that we wanted for the last 8 years taking this long to get together.

And I think of Lyon, as I do regularly watching our test team - here's a guy who was a ******* nobody when he was picked, but probably got just as far by being smart as he did from natural ability, just learning as he went what was needed to be a test bowler.

I love em, I wanna boof em, get em up here!

Happy for Siddle too. Always seemed likely a really likeable bloke and good to have around the team.

Australia have won 6 of the last 7 ashes tests

draw in Melb

Lisa Sthalekar is a goddam awful analyst, get rid of her please.

Take Healy on the way out

Yeah it will come down to the doubles tie I think

 

[The Casey Cat]

Best attack in the world.

Yep there's not really a weakness there. They may make runs at times but it will always be hard work. None of our bowlers are easy to get away and are all happy to probe away.

How did I even forget my fellow vegan? I love this guy.

Let's see if the soap dodgers can muster any class when Smith gets presented as MOTM

 

[Sprout]

Root still looks 12.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Brilliant is one way to call that match. To come from 8/122 to win by 251 runs on a ground which has been a graveyard for us with a double century from Smith to hit back at his booers is something I haven't from Australia in a long time.

 

[swanssince2002]

You just felt like we have options when it comes to pitches. Prepare a greentop and Cummins, Patto and Siddle will eat them alive. Prepare a raging turner and we will see Lyon dominate ala first 2 tests in India. Maybe a dry pitch I suppose...

Best bet is to prepare a highway so their batting doesn’t get exposed. But it will likely end up in a draw as Warner will potentially destroy the bowlers on a road. I dunno.

 

[Bring back Drum]

Roots gonna cry 4 sure!

 

[OffTheBit]

Root still looks 12.

And female

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Best of all, we can all have a productive day at work tomorrow!
