1st Test: England v Australia

[w3lshrugby]

I'm loving this aggression. It's certainly giving England some momentum at the end of this first innings.

Well tbh there have been a few knicks here and there. Kinda ran out of luck in my opinion for Broad.

 

[King Pietersen]

Broad ran out of luck? He inside edged one but that was it, played that glorious off-drive as well. Probably helps that Siddle's bowling half volleys but we've batted nicely this morning.

 

[Flintoff Rocks]

Anderson and Swann looking really good. 18 more until the big 4-0-0.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Every batsman so far has gotten double figures...

 

[Mercules]

Swann averages 40 with the bat atm lol

have to agree. The batsman have played some good shots but they have played a fair few of the edge, bottom of the bat etc.

 

[Ollie_H]

you wouldn't be complaining if this was you! I love it when a tail wags

 

[aussie1st]

England giving us a taste of our own medicine. Been poor bowling by Siddle and Johnson so far, no real line and length.

 

[King Pietersen]

Pitched outside on first few for me. Fair enough decision.

 

[karnog]

I think he nearly chopped one onto his stumps too. Meh. Swann looks decent. He's certainly all-rounder material. Quite a good prospect. Blimey Hilfenhaus is unlucky.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh so close for Hilfy, pitched outside according to hawk eye so Doctroal makes a good call.

 

[bowser]

What a crock. Trouble with having a rule where you can't get the best umpires to do the big games. Both these guys have a reputation for poor decisions

 

[Flintoff Rocks]

Good decision. It pitched outside.

Oh wow, Hauritz is coming on. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[Howsie]

England looking good for 400 here. Btw that was plumb, it should of been given.
