*Official* First Twenty20 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton

[Burgey]

If the ball lands in your grille you should be allowed to run until one of the fielders can get it off you

And if a fielder runs up and removes it, you should be out caught.

 

[Burgey]

This is the first time in recorded history an Englishman has actually cared about his oral health.

 

[Furball]

Why does it seem like Australia have about 15 fielders this tour?

 

[Burgey]

Pathetic collapse from England. They've managed to avoid them in the warm ups, but now the real thing is here they've capitulated.

They've seen too long focusing on not getting out and forgot how to do the real stuff: hitting 6ixes.

Typical CA. Fast track the citizenship of a leggie who doesn't turn 'em.

Have to say that given a choice between "The Ashes" and "The Thrashes" I really couldn't give a tuppenny toss about tonight

Fix'd

 

[Furball]

I love how they're playing the two T20s at opposite ends of the country.

 

[Cabinet96]

Never thought Matthew Wade would've done a piece of work that was too good.

 

[Furball]

England seem to be playing on a bigger ground. Hit it into the crowd ffs.

 

[MW1304]

Gize you need 16.5 an over.

 

[superkingdave]

Ravi played at least 3 forward defences in that innings as well as a leave

Surely out ffs

 

[Furball]

Hahahaha that's the jammiest not out I've ever seen.

 

[Furball]

Faulkner needs a punch in the mouth. Gobby ****.

 

[Furball]

Finally, a six. Australia only got 18 of them.

 

[Jarquis]

Launch the next 15 for 6 as well please Jos

 

[social]

All hail our brilliant selectors

Finch WTF?

 

[Jarquis]

How has that gone for 6? Absurd.

 

[superkingdave]
