You know who would bowl well on this pitch?

James Anderson and Stuart Broad.

Pitch looks absolutely made for Broad

 

[Samsquanch]

How good is it not hearing that stupid, "bowling Gary" after every ball from Lyons.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Pitch looks absolutely made for Broad

Especially as he gets Warner out for fun in these type of conditions.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Fair start after lunch

Buttler and Pope looking good

[Hojuman]

Rain out for rest of day?

Was pretty dark, lights on at 2.45 in the arvo.

 

[franjon]

1st shots of the Barmy Army in the crowd. The most cringe, bunch of fat, middle aged men who think they're entertaining.

The only group that comes close are the Fanatics.

They were very quiet.

[franjon]

Not a bad days work for his first day as Captain.

Green's 1st of many wickets.

Hey spider, how long before one of the "english" cricketers retire mid tour?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Stuart Broad after he doesn't get selected for the next test.
