[Cricket] First Ashes Test - England v Australia - Cardiff

[Vegas Seagull]

Never should have gone abroad

Lyth goes for 6.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Hmm, good catch

 

[Simster]

Lyth in the third over, for ONE.

Lyth in the second over, for SIX. Not a bad shout though.

Ffs

 

[atfc village]

Great catch.

Pressure on Ballance...

Welsh groundsman prepares a pitch for the Aussie quicks

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Lyth for 3 in the sixth over

 

[fat old seagull]

I dearly hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't have risked Bell with his confidence low.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Picking Trott in the Caribbean is coming back to bite England on the arse. Lyth doesn't have enough experience and Ballance at No. 3 has been out of form. For me that's two walking wickets and a whole heap of pressure on Cook.

On the plus side there is Eoin Morgan in the wings and Bell could move up to open.

Mitchell Johnson into the game in the 5th over...

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Anyone with tickets for Saturday may have to find a BBQ to have fun instead

 

[Mackenzie]

Come on England, don't give this ****er any confidence.

Gone under 323 at the bookies...

 

[Mackenzie]

These Cardiff pitches have been pretty slow and abrasive all season. 300 runs would be a reasonable first innings score. Expect the ball to reverse later.

Some absolute dross being chucked down by the aussies who don't seem to be able to control the ball with all the swing.. Luckily for us.
Still can't get over the decision to bat though.

Johnson has looked their best... quick and in good areas, with a hint of swing...

Anyone got a cheeky illegal stream?
