Bowl first if toss won?

Dom Sibley looks like an old fashioned English cricketer - at least a stone overweight

Win toss and bat

It really does doesn’t it? I’m not sure if it’s just naivety mind

Love a overnight test match, I wake up loads and check the score

Archer on that Segway....imagine if he got injured pissing about on that!

What a fabulous venue to go on holiday and watch England

Always the same, these moments before the First Test of any series. Anticipation at its highest before inevitable disappointment.

That’s a canny first shot in test cricket.

Doesnt look too many demons in the pitch or conditions. Pleasantly surprised.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

There’s a bit of movement there

see off the new ball.....and then cash in

Sibley and pope are good calls. It would be nice to see sibley and burns start with a good knock together. Be good if this was the opening pair we have been searching for for so long.

This is a nice start. Sibley is nicely watchful, but the pitch looks benign. Fast outfield too.

I'm only basing it on my club cricket experiences. And my wedding night.

Tiniest of edges.
