1st Test: England v Australia at Nottingham Jul 10-14, 2013

[aussie1st]

I got no problems with Agar being picked, he's gone about his business at every level and hasn't looked overrawed. Very solid start to his career and not averaging over 50 which is a good start. His batting will be useful too.

That is a good overlay. Much much better than what was used for the last 2 seasons.
All set

You beauty!

Woo! Weird shot by cook though.

 

[angryangy]

Yes, he should have played the ramp shot

 

[NoLeName]

Yes, he should have played the ramp shot

No doubt that would have been the best option.

Trott's scoring runs quicker than he did at any point during the Champions Trophy...

Not complaining, but it would have been nice to know that Trott could bat like this...

Agar prepping for a spell at KP; a couple of overs before lunch?

The Aussies have bowled well and this will now be a tough test for both Bairstow and Bell, Bell is looking ok but he really needs to get a move on.

 

[fade0508]

I agree; coupled with some ordinary shots.

At this rate we'll struggle to get 250.

 

[cricket_icon]

lovin the new rev counter!

Aaaand Bell's horror run continues. Bairstow looking good though, hopefully he and Matt Prior can get us to 250-270 and then the tail can add another 50 odd runs.

With Prior and Bairstow in, I suspect they will either be 7 down in no time or 300 by close...
