1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Maximas]

I mostly just watch Stevie Nicks but thank you.

Damn, the real magic was honestly in her voice back in the early 70s, the husk is strong these days however

 

[Stowford Mess]

Doubtful.

And let me just say it’s a case of glasshouses when criticizing home crowds

 

[trundler]

Thanks Woakes, I can go to bed now.

Yet again Smith scores more runs in the first innings than the second. So typical for him.

Yeah his 2nd innings average is a big hole in his record. Pathetic. I'm out too.

 

[mr_mister]

You’ve never been to ashes in aus then?

Several Sydney tests. We would pay respects to a Root ton.

Stokes might cop boos but then again he beat a man senseless so it's fair enough

Stevie did nick but after scoring 142 you can't realty blame him.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Sorry Birmingham, good shove it up your arses you disgrace of a city and disgraceful idiots you douchebag army faeces.

Be the same at Leeds and Manchester. Best get used to it.

Paine is looking pretty good straight away. Played a lot as an opening bat in the Shield so second new ball shouldn't bother him.

Like a dog on a skateboard entertaining?

I love watching Smith bat. I find his technique fascinating.

 

[Bijed]

Yeah his 2nd innings average is a big hole in his record. Pathetic. I'm out too.

Nicked off against the swinging ball too. Clearly a FTB after all

 

[Spikey]

impressed by nass being the only commentator to use the touch screen

 

[harsh.ag]

And they waited extra to take the new ball

 

[Starfighter]

And let me just say it’s a case of glasshouses when criticizing home crowds

Yeah, no. Our crowds will actually appreciate a player's milestone rather than being wankers over something that had nothing to do with them. Typical insecurity from you lot.

 

[social]

He is the best test batsmen since bradman. But couldn’t pay me to rewatch any of his innings. Entertaining he is not

So you would rather watch lesser players?

 

[Stowford Mess]

Root should resign before day 5 is Matthew Wade scores a second innings Ashes 100.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yeah, no. Our crowds will actually appreciate a player's milestone rather than being wankers over something that had nothing to do with them. Typical insecurity from you lot.

Remember booing Broad in 2013 though? I'm not saying Aus crowds are as bad as this one has been, we wouldn't boo a bloke that had just done something great like that, but we're not perfect.

 

[91Jmay]

All this talk about his average going below 60 but there is no reason it couldn't actually go up. This game is over, Moeen has been dire and Anderson injury screwed us.

 

[Stowford Mess]

Yeah, no. Our crowds will actually appreciate a player's milestone rather than being wankers over something that had nothing to do with them. Typical insecurity from you lot.

Absolutely wrong. The entire 2006 Brisbane test the crowd were singing “flintoff is a wanker” due to is amazing exploits in 2005. And his crime to cop that? Playing really well...

It disappeared though, at least in the series I watched. As I said, we can be more boorish but are less vindictive.

Broad is literally Draco Malfoy

Meh, it’s not all of them. I think he should be clapped off like. At Headingley 09 Ponting was booed on and clapped off. That’ll probably be the case in some of the other venues. Hope so anyway.

So you would rather watch lesser players?

Erm.. yes? There's a reason we all have favourites based on aesthetic preferences or should all of us only be exclusively watching Bradman videos?
