FIRST ASHES TEST: Edgbaston

[cooky]

Don't think bowling first is a disaster tbh. Batting first and being 30/3 after 10 would be far more damaging to an already under the microscope batting unit.

 

[Snappy]

Nervous. Woakes key for me in this bowling attack as it's his home ground you've got to be looking at him for wickets.

 

[Darlo1973]

Decided to "work from home" today. Told my boss I had a lot to concentrate on. Yeah right.

Could be a good toss to lose.

 

[viccarlton]

F#ck me, gospel choir now.

 

[brandon]

starc unlikely to play...off topic but gower has been sacked by sky the ashes is his last gig, looks like botham will go too, isa guha the new lead presenter.
even though aussie insiders are saying siddle more suited to edgbaston than starc it may just be mind games

Absolutely f***ing embarrassing decision by Sky. Glad they don’t get a penny off me.

 

[Steak Pie]

Got up at 5am to power through everything I had to do today.

Haway England.

 

[Chappers]

Come on

 

[safcftm39]

Hopefully still doing a bit when Woakes comes on first change

 

[Steak Pie]

Don't mind bowling here.

 

[Pancho]

I like Isha but would rather have Gower and Beefy on

What's the crack with Gower and Botham?

 

[Jack Torrance]

Come on England

 

[brandon]

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear, oh clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

 

[dangermows]

Don't mind bowling here.

You got good stats like?

What's the crack with Gower and Botham?

Turfed. Gower getting too old, and Beefy probably claiming too much on expenses.

 

[Chappers]

Is the name and numbers on the back a new thing for international cricket?

 

[Scotty 1978]

What's the crack with Gower and Botham?

Gower not getting his contract renewed haven’t heard anything about Botham

 

[Steak Pie]

You got good stats like?

Swing both ways, me.

 

[zebediah]

Put it in his grill

 

[HarryChest]

Is the name and numbers on the back a new thing for international cricket?

That's what I came on here to ask

 

[Chappers]

That's what I came on here to ask

Dont like it myself. Seems a bit tacky

 

[zebediah]

Thought I heard it too, funny how only Jonny reacted.
