Win the toss. Bat. If in doubt. Think. And then bat.

Smash Boland out of the ground and all will look well. Or we are 80-8. Baz v the best attack in the game. This is going to be an epic series.

No Starc. Relentless line and length from Hazelwood and Boland is going to be a big challenge.

Think the fact we are going to play from the off and not be dangling the bat outside off could work in our favour against them though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Crawley will still nick off. It’s the law.

 

[WsWolf]

First ball crunched for 4. Start as you mean to go on lads.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Any reason first test at Edgbaston?

 

[WsWolf]

Tactical I believe, we've got a good record here.

Any reason first test at Edgbaston?

Rarely lose there

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Same way as Aus always start at the Gabba. Lords start gives away the advantage.

 

[WsWolf]

Two very poor shot choices and duckett is gone.

 

[Mel Evo]

Poor wicket

 

[Dinowolf]

Duckett gone 10

Turns out Crawley looks a lot better when the pitch is flat and there’s no sideways movement!

Crawley out but the Aussies didn’t bother to appeal.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He was out there, nicked it and no appeal, very odd.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hope he gets a daddy ton now.

 

[Dinowolf]

Pope out 31

92-2

 

[Dinowolf]

Fifty for Crawley
