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

[Dutch]

Australia are so bad at timing at the mo it is their saving as they miss the slips and the stumps.....flipping heck, nick the darn thing Smithy!

Should he be up this late?

 

[MUFC1987]

Swann to Rogers could be interesting. I think he's too good a player to give his wicket away, so a bit of spin to the left hander might do the trick.

 

[barmyarmy]

Swann soon I would guess.

 

[Dutch]

Anderson. Brilliant.

 

[Gone4aDuck]

Why was everyone worried at 215 all out? Dont judge till both teams have batted. Aus are as bad as west indies with the bat.

Yea don't worry about that battle. Hard luck Rogers showed the leaving technique along lost art.

One more wicket needed before end of day I reckon n even then the Aussies have haddin who is dangerous but great fight back from England just the start to the series everyone wanted

jep, was an entertaining day

Good days play, Smith playing well, need him out quick. I like Straussy on sky btw, he seems a natural.

 

[cricket_icon]

Agreed, Straussy's voice has a real soothing tone.

Good days play, good bowling by both sides coupled with bad batting.

Smith is looking good but I don't see anything to worry about, a quick 50 or even 70 odd isn't worrying at this stage and I'm not a fan of Hughes so don't see him doing much tbh.

He is getting lambasted on social media though. However I agree with you, he is a lot better than listening to Hussain or Atherton.

I actually like all the sky commentators, except Bob Willis, but he is usually hidden away in the studio now, thank God, he's a miserable get.

What did Bob do to you?

Tbh he can be pretty hilarious as he is so blunt and to the point

I think it might be me, but I hate the way he slates England players when they have had a bad day. Other commentators criticise, but the way he does it is just so irritating. Its like he's telling off a nine year old. I'm probably just too patriotic and love my team too much.
