2019 ASHES: 1st Test Australia v England, Edgbaston Aug 1-5

[Raiders_Premiers]

Nicely played

 

[Bazal]

Lol, as we say it...

 

[Dave's mate]

Onya bike you weak merkin

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Lol

 

[hineyrulz]

Woeful just woeful, remember when we had openers who knew how to leave the ball???

 

[The Mad Hatter]

If only Stokes had punched out that smug twat Broad in that alley way...he'd be roundly declared a world hero.

 

[Dave's mate]

Worlds best bat in now, here we go

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Worlds best bat in now, here we go

Oozie is decent but that's a bit much.

 

[hineyrulz]

He should be batting at 6...

And still bowl quicker and bowl more than Shittle with the ball.

 

[Hutty1986]

All the pressure on Smithy, as always

 

[Eelementary]

He can dig in all he likes but I really doubt it'll be enough to overcome his flaws in English conditions, against the these bowlers. There may be more of a case elsewhere. Stuart and Broad have made a career out of targetting very specific weakeness batsmen have in their swinging conditions.

You meant Anderson, and Broad, right?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

That is the amongst the worst footwork I've ever seen from Banplod

 

[mave]

Leave the ball ffs.
Too high, too wide.

 

[Canard]

Let's be honest Bancroft is a plodder at best

 

[Matt23]

Bat first with our shithouse batting, brilliant decision

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Matt Wade gonna have to save these plebs

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

All the pressure on Smithy, as always

With one less bowler to back him up... :-(

 

[mozza91]

Poms on top and Warne is commentating. This is my personal hell.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Steve Smith is the new Brian Lara.

A batting God surrounded by Pomeroy's and comes in at 14-2 almost every innings.

Bancroft and Siddle, poor man’s Trevor Franklin and Ewen Chatfield
