sidcow Posted June 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Some fantastic shots of Edgbaston the TV people are catching. You can see what a shit hole Birmingham is from all the trees as far as the eye can see. Edited June 16, 2023 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 recovered again here, still obviously a great batting deck and need to be in the 450+ area ideally but at least we have avoided* a fateful collapse. * apologies for when this happens soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA is the only real batter we have left, and he’s a bit like Bertrand Traore, it could be special, it could be silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect Ali to hit a quick 8 then out. Rest of the bowlers very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I doubt we will get 350 unless the tail do extraordinarily well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is can he keep it up or is he out any minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2023 The remaining bowlers just need to support Root now, no more swinging about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It's in Mos interests to have had more runs on board for when he bowls but hey how, guess it is a bit of a free hit for him in some ways. Just feel Smith and Labuschane and Head will go yum yum on this deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2023 Fair play Broad. Just doing what needs doing supporting Root with little drama. Exactly what we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only possible thing is the storms forecast for Sunday-Tuesday could make Jimmy very dangerous … but most likely Australia have put on a 100+ lead by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2023 Anything from here just gives a proper target regardless of the pitch. And there goes Broad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
