The Cricket Thread 2016

136 all out.Anderson 6-37.

[Proposition Joe]

I wish I could trust our batting lineup enough to believe we will end up with a first innings lead, but I'm not so sure....

[Dr Butler]

wobbly from Lyth....

[PaulWinch again]

Stunning day so far, we need to capitalise.

[Proposition Joe]

Why did Lyth have a swipe at that? No need at all.

[Small Rodent]

Bunch of twunts on social media printing the Aussie scorecard out and taking photos of it.

Don't think they know the game too well.

[PaulWinch again]

Lyth is becoming a real worry. It's not so much the low scores it's the way he's getting out. He keeps making the same mistakes rather like Robson did. Although they're different players they both seem to struggle with learning from their errors.

Why did Lyth have a swipe at that? No need at all.

Lost his patience, which is pretty frustrating because we had made exactly the right start and really should have been looking at getting to the end of the day with 70-80 for nothing on the board, I'm prepared to pop my head up and say this pitch is a hell of a lot better than 136 all out and hopefully we will show just how far short of par they were.

[manic-road]

Unbelievable catch to get Cook out.

[Villan For Life]

Come on Belly!

[Villan For Life]

Come on Belly!

Sorry Ian, kiss of death.

[UK Redsox]

Lyon's only bowled 10 balls and he has two wickets

[tomd2103]

Bit annoying to lose Cook and Bell, but we're still in a position that not many England fans would have dreamed of before the start of play.

[The Left Side]

England's day for sure, now push on tomorrow, Edgbaston looks lovely as usual.

[cheltenhamlion]

Root will be the difference. He will smack a ton with 30-50 from Buttler,  Stokes and Ali. Not as big as it could be but plenty enough to see us take an unassailable first innings lead.
