1ST ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Nottingham Jul 10-14, 2013

[BDR]

This is going to be bloody close, what a great test match

 

[madunit]

Geez Haddin is heart in the mouth stuff but if this comes off he'll be a hero.

I have never ever felt comfortable watching him bat. He is seriously the arseyest batsman I've ever seen.

He's either playing lofted shots when the pressure is on, not moving his feet, or reaching out and prodding at wide shit that he should leave alone.

The fact he has scored any number of runs is at times surprising to me.

But when the flukey f**ker hits one, it stays f**king hit!

 

[some11]

Gone.

 

[madunit]

Ah f**k, Agar caught at slip.

He should have stood his ground lol

 

[MrAnonymous]

f**k

 

[Danish]

bit tougher now, but siddle has dug in before and can do it again

 

[BuffaloRules]

f**k.

One slip and straight to him.

Tough ask now.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Well shit

 

[Pete Cash]

Can't really have a pop but we've been let down by the top order hugely

 

[8Ball]

In my opinion he is a better batsman. He has the technique and mentality to bat properly. Haddin is more of a dasher. I'd rather him at 8. Haddin only averages 35 in test cricket. Agar already has 4 50s in 11 first class games.

If you actually had any idea of what you were watching you'd know that Haddin actually has a decent technique. Haddin's mentality is definitely questionable, but you can't really say that Agar's is better after seeing one innings.

Also, Haddin has 16 first class centuries. Incomparable.

 

[BunniesMan]

f**k. But 14 potentially valuable runs. If the next 3 batsmen get 14 each we'll win this test as long as Haddin doesnt get himself out.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Got him! Thats the key breakthrough!

 

[Timbo]

That's why Agar isn't a top 6 batsman.

Was badly in the wrong position there. 8 is his spot.

 

[BuffaloRules]

f**k. But 14 potentially valuable runs. If the next 3 batsmen get 14 each we'll win this test as long as Haddin doesnt get himself out.

Or they could all go very quickly.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Starc's in

Hes got a test 99

 

[Sir Biffo]

Get rid of Agar, bring back Michael Beer.

 

[Leagueaddict]

Agar gone to another prick of an anderson ball. Starc has to hang in there and try and leave the shite just as he flashes at some crap

 

[Danish]

dont know about Starc coming in. I feel like thats a bit of panic by Clarke looking for quick runs

 

[El Diablo]

If you actually had any idea of what you were watching you'd know that Haddin actually has a decent technique. Haddin's mentality is definitely questionable, but you can't really say that Agar's is better after seeing one innings.

why are you wasting your time responding to the stupid queer?

Love the English celebrations when they get out a 19yr old on debut.. Seriously what a bunch of cockheads this English team is.
