30 test hundreds. He’s a bit good.

Sensible batting, all you need

 

[MillionMilesAway]

76 overs so far with 1/3 bowled as spin - that's pretty rotten speed.
Do they just assume match time lasts until 7pm every day nowadays?

Roooooooooooot

In 2005 we got 400 all out on the first day at Edgbaston. Everyone was raving about that and rightly so. We’re not going to be 100 miles from that today so chill everyone. All is ok. We’re well in this. 350 was a minimum. We’ve got that. 5 for for Moin tomorrow ;)

I'm with you pal. Like the match day thread in here...

This is Superb what an innings

England are mad

 

[GornikDaze]

Haha - twitchy bum time!!

 

[trueblue1972]

Oush didn't see that coming

Sensible batting, all you need

With 'sensible batting' we'd be about 250 for 3 .... sensible progress towards 450+

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Fuck 400. We will declare instead.

 

[trueblue1972]

I wonder if we've ever declared in the ashes on day 1 b4

 

[BlueMoonday]

Couple of wickets hopefully, they look shattered

 

[Postman Pep]

Fucking love Bazball!

England are mad

Declaring when you’re going along like a train is insane. Remember Adelaide, when Freddy declared as we were 500+ and hitting ‘em to all parts. Did not end well.

That said, Stokes is a better captain than Fred…

 

[wattle]

Bloody love that declaration

 

[DMA's]

Honestly this team is mad. Fair play to them got the momentum hopefully can get Warner out tonight and it’s been a good day in the end

 

[wattle]

Fucking love Bazball!

Saved test cricket in this country

Half an hour full tilt at the convicts and tomorrow and Sunday the weather is a lot cooler but more importantly overcast.

Very bold move but I would expect nothing less from Bazball
