FIRST ASHES TEST: Edgbaston

[JohnSmithUK]

Oh dear

 

[SAFC11]

Not out imo

And not out

 

[Snappy]

So who are we replacing him with?

That's the issue. There isn't anyone. He's arguably the best we have currently. His decision making during this first test has been very questionable.

 

[Silly Point]

Another awful decision

 

[Mr Redknapp]

looked too high to me

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Umpires have had a shitter all match

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Shut up boycott

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Shit up boycott

All bran will fix it

 

[SuperMarcoRowell]

Losing Anderson has been a massive blow, we can’t expect to beat them without a key bowler.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Wickets aren't easy to get on this pitch and they shouldn't be easy for Australia either if England bat sensibly, a draw is very realistic providing England don't behave like headless chickness.

If Matt Wade, a scrub test batsman who averages a paltry 28, has the look of getting a century then England really have no excuses.

Given the fact our top order talent pool is more of a puddle, and the fact all our bowlers bar Jimmy can hold their own with the bat I don’t see why archer couldnt play at the expense of Denly tbh...

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Halla f***ing luya

 

[BIG BAZ]

at last

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

f***ing finally. Get him driving, get him out.

 

[Scotty 1978]

Herrin

 

[Chappers]

Get in. Now haway a nice collapse

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

Finally, why didn’t we take the new ball earlier?

 

[SAFC11]

Get in woakes. Now skittle the rest

 

[Mackem DJ]

Losing Anderson has been a massive blow, we can’t expect to beat them without a key bowler.

True. But had Archer played before Denly or Ali it would have lessened the blow.
