Guest MattP Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Pattinson doing a good Harmison impression. Could be anything. Generally would look to bat it out but a wide and a single is easily possible.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Agar, that's a shocker, shows just what the selectors really think of Lyon. Loving the coverage already, how good does the Skycart look? Massive surprise to say the least, the fact the poms wouldn't of done much research on him could of given him the nod.
Guest MattP Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Sloppy from Cook that. Was, looked like he was thinking about the declaration.
purpleronnie Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Was, looked like he was thinking about the declaration.
FoxyPV Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 The Cricket Australia National Selection Panel (NSP) today advises that David Warner will be released from the Australian Ashes squad on the VB Tour of England to join the Australia A squad in Africa to play a Zimbabwe XI and South Africa A. Warner will depart later this week and link up with Australia A in Zimbabwe and South Africa."
purpleronnie Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Aussies will be happy with this start. I wished we'd had a bowl but hey ho.
Guest MattP Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Fairly even, getting it at two down will be ok. Might have been a good toss to lose with cloud cover like this.
purpleronnie Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Fairly even, getting it at two down will be ok. Might have been a good toss to lose with cloud cover like this. Thats why I was surprised we didnt have a bowl.
Guest MattP Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Thats why I was surprised we didnt have a bowl. Was a tough call. Don't really want to bat last on this as it could really break up with the sun over the next few days. Haddin should have taken KP then.
leicsmac Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Thats why I was surprised we didnt have a bowl. Forecast is the cloud cover is going to break so this afternoon will be ideal for batting. And as Matt says batting fourth on this (even with Aus having no decent spinner) would be nasty, so batting first seems to be the better choice.

I thought it was going to be cloudy all day today.
Aus Fox Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Any idea what a par score is at Trent Bridge? I was thinking about 350 should set us up nicely.
leicsmac Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Oh is it? I thought it was going to be cloudy all day today. Now I've checked again, it does say that. It did forecast sun later today when I checked earlier this morning, though. Looks like a rapid change. Still, the pitch looks reasonable to bat on for the time being.
Guest MattP Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Any idea what a par score is at Trent Bridge? I was thinking about 350 should set us up nicely. 1st 333 2nd 302 3rd 275 4th 149 Hence why you can see batting second isn't generally a choice captains want to make

Leicesterpool Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 So far so good, Trott looking strong as ever and big head petersen in now he'll nick a few runs. Tried to watch in a pub in skeegy two i've been in Wolvies and the boathouse aren't showing it for some reason , so watching it on a live stream.

Even first session, Trott looks very, very secure and could take the game away from us i reckon.
ScouseFox Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Big wicket. Need a 100+ partnership just to make everyone feel better.
AaronH Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Why is Bell at 5? Needs to be 3 or 4, just got a feeling KP isn't going to cut it this series
FoxyPV Posted 10 July 2013 Posted 10 July 2013 Trott's gone playing at a ball that was three feet wide. A steady partnership is required here for England.
