*Official* Second Test at Lords

[TT Boy]

So poor. Australia don't turn up yesterday and England still can't make 500. 400 would be some effort.

 

[Pizzorno]

Because you know you feel a little excited to see if Anderson can swing it soon....

No because he'll get mullered.

 

[Jakester1288]

Ball did next to nothing, it was a plain and simple misjudgement. No good bowling really involved at all.

So just because the batsmen misjudged the ball means it wasn't a good ball? I think the fact that he misjudged it makes it a better ball. If it didn't swing, it wouldn't have hit the stump as it did. Perhaps that is why Strauss left it in the first place.

 

[TT Boy]

Swann can't play the short ball it seems. He won't get anything full again in this series.

 

[vic_orthdox]

To be fair, Swann only nicked it because he tripped up on the square leg umpire's feet.

 

[Craig]

He has the highest score of the series.

Strauss has batted well, but if you make a poor error of judgement, then I think Strauss can't should be pulled up for it.

 

[.matt]

No because he'll get mullered.

No wonder why I can't wait for us to start batting.

Obviously it wasn't a bad ball, but it was just a standard stock delivery that Strauss misjudged. It's not as if it was a stroke of bowling genius or anything.

Right this is a joke, Broad's in the team for his batting and he can't even justify that. The ponce.

 

[Austin3169]

Broad gone now. Not a good start for England.

 

[TT Boy]

Can only laugh.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Ben Hilfenhaus, please take the last wicket and get a 5fer.

 

[Craig]

Broad out. Seriously, just drop the guy.

 

[Richard]

Right, good, this should be over sharpish. Let's hope the new ball swings as much for England as Australia.

Hilfenhaus getting what he's deserved here. Pretty loose from Broad.

 

[duffer]

Looking forward to seeing what Hughes has got in a few minutes.

 

[TT Boy]

7 wickets lost for 100 odd.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Hilfenhaus finally taking wickets... his Stuart Broad-esque bowling average doesn't do him justice, tbh.

 

[Pizzorno]

Hang on, has Onions got a new Woodworm bat there? How long have they been back in business?

 

[Richard]

Nah, it was a perfectly acceptable ball, but not the sort that should under any circumstances take a wicket.

 

[91Jmay]

400 is not going to happen.

Onions is a gimme. Repeat a total bunnie.


Hope the ball moves this much for our boys though....
