FIRST ASHES TEST: Edgbaston

[Mainze]

Think moen is done for the summer

Thought we had rain for the first session

10% chance according to the Met Office.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Gonna have to bat around 10 overs i reckon

There is absolutely fuck all in this pitch. The turn is so slow

We should be aiming to bat this out

Quite

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Denly's bowled alright from what i have seen.

 

[sonson]

Fields set by Root have been consistently absurd mind. Genuinely unfathomable on occasion.

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Denly's bowled alright from what i have seen.

He is ok but as he is not a front line spinner he has not been able to hold up an end and build pressure. His economy is a little too high.

Aye, looks threatening sometimes though,

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Amazed they haven't declared

 

[scotch]

Who reckons woakes knee is playing up

 

[Brett]

Wonder why Australia haven't declared

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Wonder why Australia haven't declared

Playing a bit too safe and negative. Almost like an England team rather than Australia. The Aussies of old would have declared yonks ago.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Australia should be bowling now.
If Denly can make runs he will be a useful cricketer.

 

[The warthog]

Paine waiting for smith to declare

 

[Mainze]

Just taking the piss now.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Paine waiting for smith to declare

Once this blows over he will get the job back and be seen as a great redemption.

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

Declaration soon Aussies to bowl 8 overs tonight.

 

[BOYCEY]

Poor Root looks shell shocked, he was given the captains job far too soon in his career, just wish we had someone leading the side like Morgan does in the limited overs games.

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Declaration soon Aussies to bowl 8 overs tonight.

Siddle still has his pads on. They are not declaring anytime soon. Very negative for an Aussie side.

Edit - oh wait movement now...finally

They are declaring.
