Cook top England batsman 4-1
My bets for the 1st test.0 -
3:30 start, 48 overs today apparently.

35/0 off 16 overs.
Anderson and Tremlett have bowled well, Broad was a bit loose with the new ball.

Play for 80 mins and then go off for tea. Great PR from the ECB. Don't worry about the poor people who've been waiting since this morning to see some cricket.0

Never mind that, it's the wicket I'm worrying about, there's a bit of seam and movement, but otherwise it looks pretty slow and will only get slower.0

Draw on the cards already i reckon. Weather supposed to be hit and miss in Cardiff for the next few days.0
-
The place seemed half empty. Cant help but think that Cardiff is not the place for test cricket.0

Definitely out - the ball deflected. Hot spot isn't perfect.

This will be costing a lot of money for people who piled into the draw (luckily I am not one though I thought it was the bet to have on Day 1 - glad I kept my powder dry).0

Highlights on Channel Five at 7PM for the non-Sky enabled.0
