Happy Ashes day everyone! 08:19 - Aug 1 with 1341 viewsHerbivore

Predictions for today and for the series?

I'm not feeling all that confident to be honest. Both sides have excellent bowling attacks but I think Warner and Smith are likely to get more runs than Root and ?????. I think ultimately that will end up being the difference. 3-1 to Australia with them taking a narrow win in a low scoring first test.

Only Bairstow was up for it but it looked so obvious. If they had said to Bairstow, "didn't he hit the ground?" and he had said "no", surely they should have then reviewed. That's all I can imagine Broad and the umpire thought.


it only cost 2 runs.......Warner should have reviewed his LBW....it was missing......

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

Yeah, but this is Broad remember. If he isn't convinced it's out....

Looks like the wicket was missing, 1-1 on reviews missed then.

Good first session. Made the most of the early movement with some good, full bowling. It's not a quick pitch by any means and there's enough there for both batsmen and bowlers. If we get Smith early after lunch we'll be firmly in control but that's easier said than done.

Especially with no Anderson.

Only just seen that he's gone for a scan. Damn, that's a real blow. Big ask for the remaining three seamers and Ali now.

We let the pressure off at the end of it and need to be careful not to let them score too quickly this afternoon. It could easily be 250/3 at this rate.

Stokes was a bit all over the shop. There's a lot for them to do to get to 250-3.

Good early breakthrough. Head was looking a threat before lunch too.

This really is going to be a low scoring series. Smith still tough to get out though.

Even if we get the final wicket before close I'm going to say this is Australia's day. Momentum is firmly with them, runs on the board, Jimmy injured. We need a huge day with the bat tomorrow.

Just home. Watched first 2 sessions before heading off, worked out it would be close to midnight if I stopped to the end so decided to hit the road after tea.

Defo Aussie's day for me. Frustrating given how well we were set.

Matt Holland was in attendance :-)

I don't believe either you or Matt Holland were in attendance because I did not see either of you on TV.

Might just be getting a brown envelope as evidence I was on route to brum :-(
