England v Australia, 1st Test, Trent Bridge, 10-14 July, 2013

About time?

Congrats to England. Poor team selection did'nt give us much of a chance.....oops...too soon?

Fecking rain.

Broad FFS.

WTF shot was that from Haddit?

F*ck off, that was f*cking plumb. And no reviews left. FFS.

Cook has never had a clue about reviews.

I agree - rain.

Qunts, too. I predict rain and qunts. And feebleness. From both sides.

Quntish raining feebleness.

^ I'm trademarking that - because the media will be all over that phrase by Test 3.

Looks like Watto and Rogers to open:

Warner and Watson surviving and thriving on pampering and Cowan and Siddle "dropped" to make statements? Geez o geez

Cowan might bat at 3.

bring back the boof

Whatever. Just as long as Warner stays on the bench.

I'd have Warner at 6 over Hughes anywhere. At least Warner can field.

Just no rain on day 1, please.

Sage...

What's with the naming of the openers a week out?

hopefully Watson brings his tour match form into the Tests, but it's unlikely

That Worcs attack looks awful on paper.

Flintoff interviewing KP on the Beeb, at some length

A much more likeable side of the batsman emerges, due in part to a sympathetic interviewer, who (from personal experience) has a better insight than most as to what makes him tick.

Aye, in the immortal words of a Bunnyman, spare us the cutter

Looks like both teams are warming up against crap attacks, the Worcestershire one does look pox though. Watson's first first class ton for three years says it all. Poms could be canny in lulling our batsmen into a false sense of security.

Looks very much like Boof has made up his mind on at least 5 of the top 6. Seemingly it's:

Twat
Buck
Moo
Pup
Con
TCS/Downy/Fork/Uzzy

It seems Boof doesn't like black qunts, so Uzzy's chances seem slim (with Boof not giving him a chance to show his wares in the current FC match). Perhaps it's between Downy and the TFW (Tweeting Farkwit).

It also looks like Boof has been sitting back watching and saying "If I was in charge, I'd have a different batting order" and has immediately implemented it. Hopefully he gets the mix right. Who knows - Con coming in at 5 or 6 with the ball not doing as much might be able to get some runs. Although I'm totally with lardy on this - I wouldn't have the ugly little qunt anywhere near an Aus XI.

And I didn't realise Rogers is actually a Spiv. I hope he goes well and gives us some stability at no. 2 for the next 2 years or so.

I guess Ginger Dubber Wozzie Vomit was too subtle

Pup @ 4 = Bad
