[Cricket] **** England v Australia, 1st Specsavers Ashes Test, Edgbaston. Official match thread ****

Don’t like this partnership, these two are looking untroubled and comfortable.

Oh well BOWLED

Desperate review, pretty plumb. Cracking delivery.

 

[pasty]

Can't quite believe they reviewed that to be honest. Maybe, just maybe a little bit high, but with umpires call on Englands side, no chance that was getting overturned. Bloody good job too, the partnership was starting to look ominous.

Head trapped in front by Woakes... reviewing, but it looked pretty good...

We still need to find a way to get the cheating Smith out!
In order to win the ashes, we have to solve this.

Good review from Root there

 

[Sussex Nomad]

So how many decisions have the umpires actually got right?

 

[pasty]

Good review from Root there

Personally thought Root looked less than sure and it was Bairstow who convinced him to call for it.

 

[Titanic]

So how many decisions have the umpires actually got right?

All of them... eventually... except Warner

 

[Mackenzie]

Broad making it talk.

 

[The Wizard]

*Sigh* Ali on.

Hoping for reverse psychology

 

[Badger]

I don't really see the point of the numbers on the shirts. They look a bit pony too.

 

[Titanic]

OMG

Paine smashes it straight down deep squares throat

3rd wicket for Stuart Broad

TD Paine c Burns b Broad 5 (14b 0x4 0x6)

[The Wizard]

What a daft shot from the Aussie captain, quite unlucky as well it must be said.
