England vs Australia | 1st Ashes Test | Nottingham | 10/7/13 | Day 1

[SL_Fan]

Looks like it's all up to Pattinson. Again.

 

[SL_Fan]

fiddle knocks root over.

 

[Reverselap]

Siddle uproots Root

 

[Robert]

Double Saffer import time!

 

[Kianig89]

Just when Eng were getting ahead Sidd strikes even steven still

 

[SL_Fan]

KP in now.

 

[SL_Fan]

Seems like years since last seeeing him bat.

 

[SL_Fan]

Change of ends seems to have done the trick for Siddle. Prolly the best over of the day thus far.

 

[SL_Fan]

Haddin prolly should have taken that one. KP lucky lucky.

 

[MattyB]

Pietersen does not look settled here, the Aussies need to get him soon before he starts to bat his way into form otherwise that might be the game and potentially the series gone.

 

[SL_Fan]

Shot by Trott :4

 

[SL_Fan]

Prolly 2 overs to go now before lunch. Another wicket here and Aussies are well and truly back in this one.

 

[malakian]

I think we already have enough runs here. Should declare.

 

[sachjinn]

Damn, these two hours have been so tame. Eng looking confident and Aus just boring. Think I'll restrict my Ashes viewing to the highlights show every night.

 

[SL_Fan]

Wow whatta shot by KP!

 

[Abdul Q]

I'd love to see Johnathan Trott's century today

 

[SL_Fan]

That's it lunch Eng on top 98/2

 

[Bullet Drive]

98-2

 

[SL_Fan]

Trottsky 37 off 47

 

[malakian]

England's session easy. Trott looks like he could bat for a month & KP wants a biggie, I can see it in his eyes.

Easy victory for England. I predict it will be over in 4 days.

 

[malakian]

Australia's bowling looked rubbish, I can't see these losers taking 20 wickets, especially against us.

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is AUS's test

 

[malakian]

New Zealand bowl better than Australia. #justsayin

 

[Ims1]

England's session easy. Trott looks like he could bat for a month & KP wants a biggie, I can see it in his eyes.

Easy victory for England. I predict it will be over in 4 days.

Yes definitely England's session & Trott batting very well . just looked briefly in trouble against Agar . 98 for 2 .

 

[Gunther]

I always fear when Trott scores at a very good rate. . He got those big 100s only b doing some proper diggin.

 

[asifp]

Aussie fast bowling needs to get their act together!

 

[Energetic]

I feel for Australia because they are really playing a team of more than 1 nationality and the 2 on the crease may just take the game away even though they are not English born.

 

[SL_Fan]

KP out siddle gets another.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[ads101]

KP out siddle gets another.

Strange, he's not even bowling that well.

 

[SL_Fan]

Strange, he's not even bowling that well.

Change of ends somehow has done the trick. Getting late swing.

[malakian]

Haha how ridiculous, both have English passports, both live & work in England. You do know Australia/South Africa imports players as well? The difference is, they import rubbish bowlers like Fawad Ahmed & Imran Tahir.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hate watching Trott bat

 

[Ims1]

102 for 3 . Two more wickets before 175 & it will become very interesting .

 

[SL_Fan]

Even stevens now I would say. Get Trott before he gets going again and Aus well on top.

 

[SL_Fan]

Rubbis bowlers taking out ATG batsmen

He got lucky

 

[malakian]

England still way in front, whatever we score, we'll bowl Australia out for less, they won't be able to handle Jimmy's skillz.

 

[Sandeep]

The real dangerman for Australia will be Prior. Boy, that guy is a fighter! Incidentally, he hails from South Africa. Why am I not surprised?

 

[Sandeep]

He got lucky

that is what people will say

 

[Ims1]

Sandy , they are the UN 11
Lehmann looking pleased .

 

[Sandeep]

Sandy , they are the UN 11
Lehmann looking pleased .

Yep. England XI was the one that used to play few years ago. Back when they showed their backs only to get whipped by the mighty Aussies. From then, the migrations started

 

[SL_Fan]

Ol Siddle is back

 

[SL_Fan]

Good contest this prolly time to get Pattinson on from the other end.

 

[SL_Fan]

Shot by Bell gets off the mark

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

How did Agar look?

 

[Bullet Drive]

116-3

 

[Bullet Drive]

Thought this thread would be a little more buzzing?

 

[SL_Fan]

How did Agar look?

He was decent. Bowled a couple of looseners but other than that on the money.

 

[SL_Fan]

Not sure why Pattinson is yet to bowl after lunch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

118-3

 

[Bullet Drive]

Want to see AUS batting today. Lets get this world XI OUT!

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

lovely stroke by mr.Trott.

 

[SL_Fan]

What a shot by Trott

 

[Bullet Drive]

Strauss as a commie?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty from Pattinson. Got the edge their.

 

[SL_Fan]

Not a good idea to bowl at his pads

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pattinson is a wicket taker so shouldn't mind if runs go.

 

[KIC]

Siddle may look awful from time to time but somehow always seems to make a difference. I am not sure why people keep speculating about his place in the team.

I am not sure Starc is a test bowler. Is Ryan Harris injured or something?

 

[Bullet Drive]

On the pads again.

 

[Bullet Drive]

48* to Trott.

 

[Bullet Drive]

David Warner on the field. On for Cowan.

 

[Bullet Drive]

124-3

 

[Bullet Drive]

Edge is short. Not much pace in this wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good decision to pick S.Smith.

Smith will score 50+

 

[Bullet Drive]

I always enjoy watching a leggie bowl.

 

[Ims1]

Too many balls being bowled on Trotty's legs .

 

[SL_Fan]

Another one for Siddle out of no where.

 

[Red Devil]

Who's the commie with the Girly voice?

 

[cricketindiafan]

Siddle does it again

Eng in some trouble now 124/4

 

[Ims1]

Trott bowled

 

[SL_Fan]

Must be his lucky day

 

[cricketindiafan]

Siddle showing why he's the highest ranked bowler playing this series. Lionhearted bowling performance so far. Patto needs to get his act together now

 

[Red Devil]

England kinda in trouble now

 

[SL_Fan]

Huuuuuge wicket that one. Aus well on top now.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

where is malakian now??

 

[lilFlip]

English batsmen getting out playing Pakistani batsmen's shots

 

[ads101]

Dunno what England are doing. All of them look comfortable at the crease and set for a big score. And then they throw it away. Root got a pretty good ball, but the rest of the dismissals were careless.
