CRICKET WTC and Ashes Tour of England

[Sproj]

Where's the pitch... green as fuuuuck

It isn't misbehaving too much though surprisingly.

 

[Sproj]

Ooh slick by Warner that. These two motor between wickets.

 

[Sproj]

Uh oh, Labs might have broken a thumb here.

 

[Sproj]

This pitch is doing some weird things now.

 

[BroncsFan]

Yadav has been a big pressure release coming on.

 

[Fitzy]

That was always going to be umpires call at best.

 

[BroncosFever]

India winning the toss and sending us in, that for mine was a big call for a team like India who are usually more dominant with bat than they are with ball

 

[BroncsFan]

This looks like trouble on first glance

Nah never mind looks high and going down

For some reason I thought it was waay fuller

 

[BroncosFever]

India getting desperate and so they should be

 

[Sproj]

Oh man, you do all the hard work and then get out to that.

 

[Fitzy]

Warner was terrific for that 43. Has got us into a good position considering the early wicket. Need Labs, Smudge, Travis, Greeny and Carey to just knuckle down.

 

[Sproj]

If Labs and Smith can get Aus to say 250, Head and Green can have some fun. I get the sense 300 will be a good score on this pitch.

That’s a very tough ask to go 175 partnership on this pitch. Would be surprised if we do. Let’s just make it to lunch first.

 

[Fitzy]

And now we can focus on the 175 partnership.

At lunch I think we won that session only just though. We would be well ahead had Warner not fell.

 

[BroncosFever]

Need to make them bowl all day, doesn't really matter if we are 250 at stumps or 300.

I don't rate this attack at all, they've fluffed the toss and I reckon they've fluffed the decision not to select Ashwin

 

[BooKhaki]

Disagree with Neser not being picked. I don't think Boland is suited to English conditions. Some of the nuts Neser bowled in County were pure.

 

[Bull Shark]

The entire cricket following population of Australia when Ashwin wasn’t picked..
I’d play him against Australia if the game was played on glass..

Not really. You don't need 2 spinners in England, and Jadeja is just too good to leave out. Ashwin outside of India is not the same bowler.
