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

[Bazal]

Checking the ball again, FFS!!! Umps are as weak as piss.

I'd start pulling away as a batsman, doing some gardening and just take my time. And if Root or the umpires said anything I'd be like "let me know when I've wasted as much time as they have will this ball shit and I'll stop."

Smiffy keep her going son!!!

 

[Incorrect]

Pitch playing pretty well for a day 4 track... Have the AFL convinced Edgbaston to use drop-ins too??

 

[hineyrulz]

Someone has woken up the Barmy Army.

 

[roofromoz]

Barmy Army all lagered up.

Well they're a growing world sport don't you know?

If I was Smith,id ask the umpires to ask Stokes to remove the red wrist band from his bowling arm

missed stumping , though Head looks like he is gonna get out to Denly anytime now

 

[hineyrulz]

Denly looking a better bowler than Ali lol.

 

[Eelectrica]

100 lead up. Hopes rising but Head looking all at sea against Denley is a reminder a collapse could begin any ball.

I thought that was his arm hair...

Nail in the coffin for Ali surely

Denly at 7 and bowling 12 overs or so, Lord Sir Christopher Woakes, Earl of Warwickshire and King of Eights back to his premier position, can bring in another quick/spinner as needed...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Matthew Bairstow must be close to the chop

 

[Bazal]

It's not as bright as his pubes

 

[jargan83]

Nice 50 from Head

 

[hineyrulz]

Nice Head, it's always nice I suppose.

 

[Eelectrica]

Well done Head on the 50. Keep it going.

 

[Bazal]

Excellent fifty from Head. Really done the job with Smith so far.

He's been a big surprise packet., even as a fan of his.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Heading towards a big lead.
