Title: 1st Test Post by: Scot Munroe on Wednesday, May 14, 2008, 18:22:08 Is upon is. Starts tomorrow and apparently it is supposed to start raining. Should be a good summer of cricket with NZ and South Africa touring. Probably side for tomorrow in my opinion
Cook Strauss Vaughan KP Collingwood Bell Ambrose Broad Sidebottom Hoggard Panesar. Title: 1st Test Post by: lebowski on Wednesday, May 14, 2008, 19:09:49 Hoggard has been left out no?
Really looking forward to watching Tim Southee play over here. Title: 1st Test Post by: reeves4england on Wednesday, May 14, 2008, 22:26:56 Typical. The test is at Lords, its going to rain for the first 2 days, and I have an exam on the inevitable fifth day when I would otherwise have gone along. Life just isn't fair!
Title: 1st Test Post by: STFC Village on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 04:59:13 Not happy to hear McCullum has been moved up to 5 in the batting order for En Zed. Should be a whole lot more effective there than at 7 :(
Title: 1st Test Post by: fatbury on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 08:12:50 looking at the weather over the next 5 days should be a draw
Title: 1st Test Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 08:26:21 Thats about right for the cricket season, hammering down wit rain
Title: 1st Test Post by: larwood on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:58:05 I think we'll lose.But its probably the depressing weather thats making me think the worse :(
Title: 1st Test Post by: dell boy on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 12:54:55 Good start for England - New Zeland 18-2, Anderson 2 wickets
Title: 1st Test Post by: dell boy on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 13:16:25 Sounds like a 20/20 match 41-2, they are flashing the bat, nearly had a run out, had a player caught off a no-ball, good stuff.
Title: 1st Test Post by: dell boy on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 13:21:45 41-3
Title: 1st Test Post by: larwood on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 13:37:23 Good toss to win.
Title: 1st Test Post by: STFC_Manc on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 16:28:47 197-5 now
Title: 1st Test Post by: larwood on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 16:33:59 You up for a little fancy dress action in July Manc?We were thinking of going as Betty and Barnie Rubble,would Fred Flintstone suit you :wink:
Title: 1st Test Post by: STFC Village on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 17:47:31 Hate to say i told you so. But i did.
Still a good first day by all accounts Title: 1st Test Post by: STFC_Manc on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 19:05:31 Quote from: "larwood" You up for a little fancy dress action in July Manc?We were thinking of going as Betty and Barnie Rubble,would Fred Flintstone suit you :wink: HaHa that sounds like fun! Title: 1st Test Post by: Boeta on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 22:00:43 McCullum's a class act - some of those shots were sensational.

Was close to being caught a lot! Title: 1st Test Post by: DMR on Friday, May 16, 2008, 12:49:17 Quote from: "Boeta" McCullum's a class act - some of those shots were sensational. He's quite an entertainer but personally I don't think you can call a guy who averages 30 (and considerably less in ODI cricket) with 1, maybe 2 hundreds to his name, a class act. Shoddy with the gloves too. Title: 1st Test Post by: McLovin on Friday, May 16, 2008, 15:13:09 Not being a cricket purist, i like watching it to be entertained... for this reason i like McCullum
Title: 1st Test Post by: DMR on Friday, May 16, 2008, 15:18:08 Absolutely. Give me 2 hours of McCullum over Cook or Bell any day.
Title: 1st Test Post by: Nemo on Friday, May 16, 2008, 15:47:03 Bell in full flow is worth watching, he just takes a while to get there.
I wish they'd just get floodlights and stop messing around with bad light. Title: 1st Test Post by: Bennett on Friday, May 16, 2008, 17:37:21 TEE HEE
1045: A little pitch chat for you - I'm told it feels cold and damp to the touch, much like your granny's hand. Some movement expected still for the bowlers; graft and toil for the batsmen. Title: 1st Test Post by: larwood on Saturday, May 17, 2008, 12:00:07 Raining again :(
Title: 1st Test Post by: Scot Munroe on Saturday, May 17, 2008, 16:32:38 play abandoned for the day. :(
Title: 1st Test Post by: STFC_Manc on Saturday, May 17, 2008, 23:04:25 Just looked at tickets for egdbaston, they still have still for sale, but they start at £55. Thats double what I paid for in Leeds!
Title: 1st Test Post by: Nemo on Sunday, May 18, 2008, 08:34:30 Some of the tickets for the Ashes next summer are up to 100 quid. I know they don't sell out county games so need the money but blimey.
Title: 1st Test Post by: STFC_Manc on Sunday, May 18, 2008, 12:43:03 Im watching it on internet, any one want a link pm me.
