Hain's gone now won't even use the 20 at this rate.

At least it’s sunny! Just as well because this is an awful batting performance again

 

[chiefdave]

They’re even worse at batting than us! Making a right mess of this

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

The bowlers turned up tonight

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Good first couple of days at Nottingham declared over 500 and some lively hitting from Ali to set the declaration, Notts three down Ali has two including an absolute beauty to Clarke.

 

[chiefdave]

Got to admit as they were inching towards 600 I thought they'd left the declaration too late but we Notts 5 down before they hit 3 figures its looking good as long as the thunderstorms don't interrupt things

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The good thing was just before lunch Ali put his foot down so we didn’t waste a lot of time

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

No real surprises there

 

[Bertola]

Real statement of intent from Crawley with the first ball of the series. Weather looks perfect for batting, so important to get a big score

 

[Robinshio]

3 down at lunch aint great = needs a big partnership or may fail to get 280

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Just switched on and Brook chases a wide one and Head drops an easy one (in the modern game)

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Can see Aus batting tonight

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Why’s he even bothered reviewing that?

 

[tisza]

Sums up bazball. Attacking out of a potentially difficult situation. Put yourselves on a nice position with a healthy scoring rate. Then walk past a ball that didn't really need playing at - having just edged one. Dull it isn't!!! Root again reverse sweeping like there's no tomorrow - Boland not slow.

Mo doing a "Bairstow" and misreading the flight easy stumping.

 

[David O'Day]

if get to 350 I would of taken that at 11am

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

You Bears

Big game today

 

[David O'Day]

Brave

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Maxwell out again slogging it up in the air

 

[Saddlebrains]

Brave

Agreed. Although youvegotta fancy us to get a wicket

 

[tisza]

It's just insane. First day of first Ashes Test and it's "here's who we are now - what you got?". Could backfire spectacularly if they bat 2 days for 600 but it's just enthralling atm.

win or die trying

no more bat the day out and staying safe

 

[Saddlebrains]

It could turn out ridiculous, but i trust stokes

Nobody should be wasting money on day 5 tickets this summer

Day 4 could be a risky investment

 

[David O'Day]

This is a weird take

not really - I heard her summary at the end and it was spot on

 

[chiefdave]

Day 4 could be a risky investment

I go to Edgbaston regularly. Got offered hospitality for day 4 earlier in the week for less than 25% of the price it was originally. Fair to say people are wary of paying for what only be an hour or two or potentially even a game over in 3 days

I think it's just a bit wasteful. We could have got an extra 50+ runs there with Root still there. I did like seeing the bemused Aussie reactions to everything, though! Very "Alright, mate..."

It's ridiculous that David Warner looks like one of the most orthodox batsmen on display because at least his early fours are straight and along the ground.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Broad!

What a few minutes, fucking around with the coppers then that

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

YOU BEAUUTTYYYYY!!

 

[David O'Day]

lol, you know as much about cricket as you do football

 

[Saddlebrains]

To have Warner Labuschagne and Smith gone for 72 is brilliant going

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

A brilliant session all things considered, great advert for Test cricket. I’ve got Day 1 tickets for Old Trafford, regret not snapping up a couple of the extra day 2/3 tickets that got released a couple of weeks ago

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Ffs, Mick Harford on so they just showed the Dabo pen. I was having a lovely day until that.
