[Foucault1989]

I rate Mark Taylor. I like him

 

[dumb]

Time to hit the ball across the wet outfield, let's see them swing the ball under the clouds then

 

[Doodlesweaver]

nah... the commentators never mention it, so it musn't exist

[k31th]

Good start from Smithy

 

[Foucault1989]

Great body language Stokes. Laying on the ground after one ball for ages. Get up

 

[Santana]

Well placed. Nice start

 

[Around the Wicket]

If they aren't going to give assistance to bowlers this series I don't know how you can select a 128km/h bowler in Robinson

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Carrying on like that was a chance against Smith...

 

[Plugger35]

Smith trolling England early by glancing the ball between the two fielders England have set up for him at leg slip and leg gully.

Stokes already exasperated.

 

[Cap]

I'm not sure if my memory is 100%, but I recall our home series on the past always had a couple of opposition commentators, who weren't shit.

Do the English do that ?

 

[badgrill]

is it just me or do the Poms act more hard-done-by after every ball than any other team?

 

[Around the Wicket]

What does McDonald look at all day on those tablets and laptops

 

[Santana]

Bit of movement still out there

One of the best going around like Ponting, I wish they could just commentate all day.

I reckon India far outdo them

Nas and Athers are great, always loved the English games with Bumble, Gower and Beefy to it was just a good mix and they didn’t talk for the sake of it like they do on Aus commentary.

 

[troybe]

England just dead set **** around between balls

 

[Foucault1989]

How fast do local cricketers average? 115 - 120? Would there be any local cricketers bowling 130 - 140

The Bigfooty cricket threads, we have some of the best armchair experts going around here.

[Gough]

Reassuring to know neither Smith nor Ussie are going to try to guide a short bowl going down leg over extra cover.

Quickest guy in our league was 120 ish but he was an ex AFL player

 

[Nicho50]

On a flat deck without our spinner?

You know England are bowling on a flat deck without a spinner too so if your saying it’s an issue for Australia to defend a score without one how are England meant to keep the score at a minimum.

How many do we need before we declared 500?
