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

[Sussex Nomad]

Absolutely awful decisions. Other than that good day so far!!

 

[Badger]

The umpires have given up. Reviewing their own decision now

 

[Titanic]

Smith 50* (119 balls, 4 fours)

BOOOOOOOOO!!!

Would you applaud a Smith half century, or BOO him, or both?

 

[the right footed denilson]

Fair play. A CHEAT but a very talented CHEAT.

 

[Triggaaar]

They've had the same reviews to use as England.

I don't think McGrath will mention that, and you don't get a right to reply.

 

[Titanic]

Can we PLEASE see them off for fewer than 250?

 

[the right footed denilson]

He's bound to get them up to 175ish at least. He's too good.

 

[Triggaaar]

The match sponsor is pretty appropriate

 

[Rodney Thomas]

I don't think McGrath will mention that, and you don't get a right to reply.

Ah I didn't get that you we're guessing McGrath's response to todays play.

Carry on as you were!

Boo, and wave my sandpaper sheets at him.

 

[Eeyore]

England have gone back to the old style sweaters.

They look like they can’t wait to get off, the umpires that is, not the Aussies. Thank god for DRS with this standard of umpiring.

 

[Badger]

Looks like a delayed start for the final session. Rain coming down heavily.

 

[Luke93]

Restart due at 16:20.

Not on Channel 9 it hasn’t (showing the series on free to air). The trailors have been talking of how our (their) boys are ‘going to smash the Poms’. Nice to see their first wicket go down!

One mate who use to play cricket didn't even know it was on Channel 9.....and he doesn't have Foxtel.
