England v Australia - 1st Test Trent Bridge

[Pavilionaire]

13 overs in the first hour. This promises to be a slow day.

 

[Dave the OAP]

we need more ginger yorkshire lads in the team.

Are there any soft southern shandy drinking poofs from Sussex playing apart from Prior?

 

[spring hall convert]

On what grounds? Looked pretty clear to me - definitely nicked it.

I suspect it was an ironic swipe at Alistair tendency to use reviews for himself.

Ha! Why would they pick anyone from Sussex? We are currently getting murdered by Somerset.

 

[pasty]

50 up. That slow coach Mr Boring Trott already overtaken Root

and the new Aussie kid coming on to have a bowl

 

[vegster]

This Agar chap is no Shane Warne....thank goodness, lets take him apart !

 

[Simster]

Bit of turn there for his second ball.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

What the hell is going on with his ARMS, in his delivery stride!?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

That.

 

[Simster]

Not really impressed with the way Trott is playing this youngster.

That.

Oh. We need an irony smiley

[keaton]

Which he was. Certainly by the ECB anyway.

They played him one game, he didn't do great, they didn't select him for the next match, How is that treating him badly?

 

[jakarta]

I hope we get off to a nice ish start, no fireworks, just get the shine off the ball and start farming the runs..plenty of time, these back to back series are a marathon not a sprint.

Happy so far?

 

[pasty]

78/2

Root b Siddle 30

 

[Luke93]

Root out for 30, bowled by Siddle

 

[Simster]

Happy so far?

Well fücking DONE, Jakarta.

 

[crodonilson]

Fear not, I back South Africa to bat through the next session and take the upper hand.

 

[pasty]

Prior would have got that one - KP a lucky boy

He bowled no worse than anyone else in that test. England were just poor as a collective.

It depends on how you look at it, one of the things the current England set up prides itself on is giving people a proper go & not selecting horses for courses. Pattinson was a rare exception and was subsequently sent to the scraphead without a second thought. I can understand how someone could see this as being a little unfair.
