England v Australia, 1st Test TRENT BRIDGE commences 10/7/13

[wristwatcher]

Warner has to come in for Cowan, didnt look comfortable at all, surprised he lasted so long
2 terrible dismisals this test

Agreed and will happen. With Uzi in the wings if anyone else **** up. Probably Smith, Rogers and Haddin are safe at this stage unless BH does something real dumb and then Wade or even Roger Wooley comes in

Steve Rixon is already over there, it might save the cost of an airfare...

This is the partnership that will win or lose the game. If The Damn Poms break this early they will win IMO. Knuckle down lads

Cheers mate. While we're at it, do you think Boof would cut it as a playing coach?

Dont think they will make a change until 3rd test.
Only a 4 day break between tests and Warner has no preparation, id play him though, cant be any worse

[Jim05]

Huge final session today, we wont win if we are more than 4 down at stumps

[Grahaml]

Gee what a disappointing test for Cowan. Of Lehmann's selections I'm happy to give the Watson/Rogers partnership a tick. Steve Smith getting picked worked, Hughes at 6 worked and Agar was ok. I say ok because he was picked to bowl. The fact he scored 98 was a pure selection fluke. But Cowan at 3 is a miss. I understand Warner not playing because he's not played and Khawaja I'm not sold on but both Klinger and Ponting are over there and doing well. Either one plays, I feel confident we're in better shape. 1/100 at tea and I'm saying Australia are in front. 2/100 and it's line ball again.

[Interceptor]

Things heading south now, nothing shot from Rogers there.

[Failed Creation]

I'd strike a line through Cowan's name now. He's had enough chances to prove his worth, and given very little in return. He may appear to value his wicket, but that doesn't mean a thing when he can't score runs. He looked hopelessly out of sorts today.

[RustyCage]

no, you couldn't see a white mark on the bat

[Groover]

Umpiring has now just become a joke! If your not sure aleem then give the doubt to the batsman and let the fielding side call for a review..

England fans booing Clarke for not walking.

[bulldog2004]

##### Smith gone now.

[wristwatcher]

Oh Alim. You can hear the faintest feather on an Australian bat. What a shock that is ... I mentioned it B4 Dar will turn the match. I know it's out but no benefit there as it didn't go to first slip

Now Smith gone and we may be as well unless Haddin fires

[Failed Creation]

Smith is out. We are officially f**ked.

[purch]

Another terrible review from Clarke.

And another falls

[Groover]

England fans booing Clarke for not walking.

Would you expect any different?
Smith gone too. Cmon aussies, win this match and stick it up them!

No surprises there, it was out and he knew it

[Failed Creation]

Hughes gone, LBW to Swann.
