*Official* Second Test at Lords

[Athlai]

Finally the Pom selectors see reason.

 

[Athlai]

Pics?

Agreed.

 

[JBH001]

Pics?

You mean the weather girl?

Arent you guys watching this? Athlai, you in NZ and watching on Sky right?

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Glad Harmison's not playing, therefore no harmony in the team.

Amen. No Harmison and an injured Flintoff = Hughes to ton up in the 2nd innings.

Why does Nasser Hussain say "if you look at the Bothams.. the Stewarts... The Gooches..."

Why not just say if you look at Botham, Stewart and Gooch...

God it winds me up.

Nope, I was at home last week, no longer do I have sky.

 

[JBH001]

Hahaha! Good call.

Cool Warney will be in the comms box for the test. What a pleasure!

 

[Craig]

Hilfenhaus to open the bowling.

 

[JBH001]

Oh, I see. BL. Will try and find some pics then!

God it winds me up.

Me too.

(Mind you he might have been referring to Ian and Liam Botham and Micky and Alec Stewart. But there's only one Graham Gooch.)

 

[Athlai]

The English commentary team have been so poor, mostly due to arrogance. In the first match they went from elated in the first day, to the top of the world on the wicket of Hughes, to mostly silence for the rest of the match.

 

[Beleg]

for the guys watching on the telly, what's the crowd like? how does it compare to day one in cardiff?

 

[superkingdave]

Phew, got out of a meeting just in time...thought it was gonna drag on all day...people down from one of our customers in Scotland, don't they know the ashes are on?

 

[JBH001]

Seems to be a good house, similiar to Cardiff. The Welsh, however, seemed a lot more vociferous and lively.

 

[Craig]

Cook is off the mark by hitting a Johnson half volley for four.

 

[simmy]

I was Cardiff for the first day and the atmosphere was utterly overrated by the commentary team.

 

[Pizzorno]

Jesus that outfield's fast!

 

[The Sean]

Mitch listed as "left arm fast-medium" by Sky. If being consistently above 90mph can't get you called "fast" then not much can.

 

[simmy]

Jesus that outfield's fast!

Bout time! Cardiff was like sand...

 

[Steulen]

I think I'll go into Grump Mode for this match.

Second over and already some balls going to the keeper after bouncing twice. This match's got bore draw written all over it.
