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

[Van_Dyke]

Well done Wade, well and truly deserved his selection and showing just why today. Beautiful knock, so happy for him. Answered the doubters in style.

 

[Badesumofu]

Fantastic innings for Matthew Wade. Brilliant comeback and they have been crucial runs for the team as well. A ton under pressure at Edgbaston. No one can say he doesn't deserve that spot now.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

To be fair to Heals he was talking about making 200+ when we were 122/8 then he was calling Wade for a ton earlier today before he had reached 50. Nostrahealos.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

4 tons this match.
3 of them have been good to watch

 

[Crashy]

Great stuff Wadey

 

[bh90210fan]

Ladies and gents, we have ourselves a middle order

 

[Fat Nyfe]

England really struggling against Tasmania here

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Fine knock that. Never been a fan of the reverse sweep in Tests, but also never seen an Aussie batsman play it so consistently well as Wade has today.

 

[NSWCROW]

Well done

 

[The Casey Cat]

Beefy sounds like he making an eulogy at a funeral....

Need Boycott. He would be rightfully tearing England to shreds right now for such poor basics.

 

[Notorious_29]

Fantastic knock.

Lack of arrogant celebatory antics pleasing.

 

[Park cricketer]

"Well they're entitled to dream.." - Beefy

- the moment when things went south for England.

 

[Sprout]

Lol old mate in the crowd is loving it

 

[Timmytime]

Onya Wade! Legend

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Batting looking a bit too easy here

New batter Paine hasn't raised a sweat vs the new ball

Might make us reluctant to aggressively set a chase

 

[Wolfs]

Here's Umar Ghani: "Everyone is talking about Smith's masterclass but what a comeback by Matthew Wade. Out of the blue he got his form back"

Umar doesn't pay attention. It ain't out of the blue.

 

[DaRick]

Great to see Wade take his chance with both hands.

 

[TigerImposter]

Smith and Wade both magnificent today I had my doubts with Wade as a batsman with an average of 27, but he’s proved me wrong. Bowlers turned it around yesterday and the boys have responded with the bat. The English commentators have been reduced to whispering.

 

[sirlothie]

The worst substitute fielder

Lol they don't even know who he is? They called him Stoinis?

That first one was hit hard but it was straight into his belly button so he could have sucked it up and pulled it in.

The actual catch was unconvincing too.

10 first class games, he got lucky to be out there. Classic.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Oi Kram remember when you tagged me yesterday after some meaningless win.

Shoe on the other foot now. Get your excuse in now.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We have to step it right up if we want to win. You can’t declare on 300.

I would love to bat on this pitch. It’s slow and easy for anyone that can work the ball.

Will be harder to bat on day 5

 

[Ron The Bear]

58 from 55 balls by no's 6 & 7 and doing it very easily. No need to be reckless with the declaration.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Ladies and gents, we have ourselves a middle order

Smith and Head are going to be a problem for opposition.

 

[Wolfs]

To be fair to Heals he was talking about making 200+ when we were 122/8 then he was calling Wade for a ton earlier today before he had reached 50. Nostrahealos.

Slats was holding him confirmed.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lead is 303
