[the Ashes] first test Trent Bridge

[scotch]

Bit of a wake up call this as we thought we were going to smash them.

The signs batting wise were there against New Zealand, good tight bowling and our batsmen couldn't cope with digging in and grinding out a score.

Bell gone.

Need 250 min, to be in this game here. Batsmen need to stop throwing there wickets away, Root aside.

All the wickets are playing away from the body, shocking batting

wow RPM from Sky, well needed....

Siddle is tearing us to bits.

Fuck sake

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Why did they bat first exactly in those conditions? been to work.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I f***ing hate watching us bat. Not worried yet though, we can reach 300-odd then I reckon our bowlers will bail us out again.

 

[Steak Pie]

Everyone relax, this is Baz Siddle that's doing this. Baz Bleeding Siddle.

Thought he hadn't posted much. Must have been practicing.

Pitch will break up, spin big and up/down bounce in last innings

England putting in their usual "first innings of a series" batting performance then....

 

[scotch]

Shocking, brainless cricket

 

[Steak Pie]

Prior man.

Jesus wept.

f***ing Shite

fair enough but this performance has put them on the back foot. Should have been more attacking and put them in.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Fucks sake. Gonna be looking at 260 at best now which isn't good enough. Good job the Aussies batting line-up is shite.

 

[mackembhoy]

Missed bells dismissal but what the fuck is prior playing at.

Thats 4 f***ing gifts now

 

[scotch]

Time for Broad to remember he's an all rounder

 

[mackembhoy]

England and cook attacking behave man.

But we've put them in first as the pitch will be a nightmare to bat on last.
