England's Summer Of Cricket against New Zealand and AUSTRALIA!

[Alex]

No Onions then. Shame, apparently he has been bowling brilliantly this season.

I'm still trying to get into cricket, but 3 runs from 25 balls isn't helping. It's so slow

If you're trying to get into Cricket, try and start on T20 and ODI's. Whatever you do, just don't watch when Trott is batting

Haha the start of an innings is always like this. The batters have to 'see off the new ball'....i.e. let the lacquer come off the ball, survive, and once the ball goes soft and bruised then they will start playing their shots. Happy to be 10-0 after the first half an hour tbh

[Pablo]

Fair enough, I'm going to stick at it. 7 up now, edge of the seat stuff!

[Shaggy]

'7 up'

You can really sink into a Test match, absorb all the nuances

[Shaggy]

This is a real go-slow .....7-0 off 6 overs. Necessary though, it's a good wicket for bowling. I think 300 might be a decent total.

[Pablo]

Good fielding that to stop the boundary.

Still, we're into double figures. **** yeah!

[Alex]

No teams have made more than 300 off the first innings this season at Durham. Think itll be a low scorer.

[Shaggy]

Shane Watson looks like he's just got out of bed and been asked to bowl.

Trundling in like an unfit village player

[Shaggy]

Root gone. How did the ump not give that initially?!

[Alex]

**** knows. They used a review for it though, so all's not lost.

[Sarb]

Guess Root isn't a walker then unlike KP

[Sarb]

**** knows. They used a review for it though, so all's not lost.

Get the review back though so back upto 2 remaining

Makes no odds when they keep their review though.
