[the Ashes] first test Trent Bridge

[dangermows]

Still not found anyone who thought batting first was the correct decision...any takers?

Me.

Agar he looks younger than JR.

I just can't see why Cook changed our gameplay for a number 11? I know this kid is clearly better than an average number 11, but we were taking plenty of wickets with the gameplay we had. Moronic decision.

 

[chriswallace85]

Not f***ing happy about this. Aside from the fact hughes was out

We bowled like morons why did we change our plans and then stick to them when agar started hitting it round the park.

Cook's fault and he knows it. Can tell by looking at him.

 

[smoker]

behave man the pitch will be horrible to play on 4th.

meh

 

[scotch]

Not good enough this. Should have kept the slips in place and bowled full. They should never have got a first innings lead. If these 100 odd runs cost us the game we've only got ourselves to blame.

100 runs, usually plays a big part in deciding matches.

England need to bat well in the best conditions of the match and bat long. 400 runs needed to be heavy favourites.

My blood pressure has gone through the roof following this first session today.

Fair enough. Im going to start and sneak more Americanisms in when discussing it.

we could do with a awesome treble stump strike to finalise the aussie innings here like. Dude.

Yes, me.

 

[Mainze]

Could be a very handy lead this, the lad looks so comfortable it's untrue.

*jinx*

 

[mackembhoy]

Well this is going to be the highest ever score by a number 11 and the highest 10th wicket partnership in test cricket fuckking great.

 

[Steak Pie]

Got to be said like, this bloke is no way a number 11.

 

[mackembhoy]

Got to be said like, this bloke is no way a number 11.

Cracking batsman like debut century and the only man to make a 100 in tests at number 11 at this rate.

 

[Mainze]

Off out in the sun, this is making me feel nautious

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

This is mental

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Got to be said like, this bloke is no way a number 11.

Do you think

 

[chelt_mackem]

The convicts will be f***ing delighted to have found someone who can pick up the pieces when Clarke gets out cheaply. Fair play to Agar, no doubt our tactics have been all wrong, but he's batted brilliantly.

 

[TopCat]

This will be the partnership that wins the game.
