FIRST ASHES TEST: Edgbaston

[Snappy]

It's amazing what we'll attempt

anything

 

[Chappers]

I honestly don’t understand why some people bother with sport

I think plenty think the players are f***ing robots and the aussies are not allowed to try and win. And its five f***ing days, possibly

 

[Keith S30S]

what odds 2 nightwatchmen

no but is there a sliding scale of cheating? an acceptance level?

I don't like cheating at all but 1 player doing it on the hoof isn't the same as what the 3 Aussies did.

 

[Sharpshooter]

I think they’re mutually exclusive

If he averages 39 and we win 5-0 then his captaincy doesn’t come into a discussion

If he averages 80 and we lose 4-1 then it does

His average has fallen since he's become captain though, certainly when he's moved up to 3.

 

[Mainze]

I’m still looking at trail by 281 with a tinge of disbelief.

 

[The Snowman]

last over i reckon

[The Snowman]

[Scotty 1978]

Burns stance is weird as fuck

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Burns stance is weird as fuck

Ive never seen him bat

 

[sonson]

Try 5 months. The last time England batted with a full strength team they scored 361 - for 5 dec.

Ohhh then they’ll definitely score over 300 again then! That’s how it works!

Also why would you bite someone’s hand off for a lead of 51

 

[Scotty 1978]

Ive never seen him bat

He’s looks very uncomfortable

 

[Hongkongphooey]

He’s looks very uncomfortable

He’s normally back in the pavilion by now

 

[Steak Pie]

Lack of discipline during the afternoon has costs us dear, but if we bat well we can do the same to their 3 man pace attack tomorrow. Cracking day, honours even.

Some of you lot embarrass easy mind....

 

[Temp0101]

Fantastic day’s Test Cricket that.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Well played lads, if it wasn’t for a cheat we’d be well on top

 

[Scotty 1978]

Honours even after day 1 ?
