    Re: First Ashes test, Edgbaston - Australia V England

    Has this test match got more wicketkeepers playing in it than any other? I make it 4, Wade, Payne, Buttler and Bairstow.

    And for some reason the poorer keeper in each side has the gloves.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Game over ��. Maybe premature but England won’t hold on.

              Assuming Anderson isn’t batting. So maybe only two left.

                What? Paine is a far superior glovesman to Wade.

                  Great win especially after where we were at on day one.

                    It was. Only 2 didn't really contribute so was a good team effort overall.

                      Yep, would have got good odds when we were 8/122 in the first innings or when England were 4/282 in their first dig.

                      I think it's the first time an away side has won the first test of an Ashes series since 2005. Please ensure nobody steps on a ball at training.

                        Tim was right, there are 15 other grounds that are more daunting than Edgbaston

                            Devils advocate - I doubt Glenn McGrath would have lasted as long in that final innings as Kasprowicz did.

                              Reckon he might've returned better figures than 3/109 though
