[the Ashes] first test Trent Bridge

[scotch]

This will be the partnership that wins the game.

Should be obvious for England, best batting conditions of the match, bat till start of day 4.

 

[Dinsdale]

how bad was our bowling? I watched a couple of overs before lunch and we were bowling a foot outside off to a number 11 :roll: Was that par for the course?

 

[mackembhoy]

Just aside from this is cricinfo working for people can't get onto any of the stats pages.

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.

This.

The pathetic bowling from Finn, coupled with defensive tactics from Cook haven't helped of course

Agar is about to get the highest test score by a no.11 - currently Tino Best 95.

Let's hope the Aussie curse of 87 strikes. Don't know where that actually comes from, but they bang on about it enough.

Agar is about to get the highest test score by a no.11 - currently Tino Best 95.

He's not far away from having the best batting average in the history of Test cricket.

Let's hope the Aussie curse of 87 strikes. Don't know where that actually comes from, but they bang on about it enough.

13 away from 100.

150 partnership, f***ing disgusting England. We deserve to lose this test for this alone.

 

[Aidan11]

World record 10th partnership by any country now.

 

[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.

well me f***ing jinx hasn't worked for one part hopefully it does for the other bit

 

[steve buscemi eyes]

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.

Say what?

 

[Icarebecauseyoudo]

This is fun

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

150 partnership, f***ing disgusting England. We deserve to lose this test for this alone.

If they hadn't taken 5 for 8 in 32 balls they would have probably taken this score. These things happen from time to time.

Gameplay?

Never knew yanks were into creekit.

They were playing internationals before we were.

 

[dangermows]

Embarrassing

 

[Ingleby Mackem]

Embarrassing

At least you're not sat with a bunch of Aussies surrounding you I presume...I'm getting slaughtered here!

 

[Dinsdale]

Jesus, 98 you have to laugh

 

[Aidan11]

Why do records always get broken against us?

 

[Scotty 1978]

Jesus wept :-(

 

[steve buscemi eyes]

Fuck off Agar. Fair play like, but he can still fuck off!!!

Completely embarrassing that.

 

[blackcat1395]

This is embarrassing. Absolute shit England.
