*Official* Second Test at Lords

[Richard]

There is no way Broad's bowling at 90mph here.

Who gives a **** whether he's bowling 90mph or not? What matters is how effectively he's bowling, and he's just doing his usual waste of space routine.

And put a ****ing third-man in to the lower-order. Oh wait, I forgot, NO-ONE EVER USES THIRD-MAN ANY MORE BECAUSE CONVENTION DICTATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GIMH]

yes!

edit - Manee was spot on

 

[TT Boy]

Gone!

 

[Craig]

Hauritz gone.

 

[Pizzorno]

Nice one Onions. No puns please gentlemen.

 

[Richard]

Onions, good call, let's see what he can do to the tail then...

Woohoo.

 

[Jakester1288]

Onions is the right move

 

[pasag]

Hate the kids in that Ricky Ponting Swisse ad. Better not run for the whole series.

Was on the whole summer as well iirc. Rubbish ad.

 

[TT Boy]

Only wasted half an hour.

 

[Uppercut]

Hauritz gone. Looks like England will have to decide whether to enforce.

 

[Adamc]

Is that based on nothing at all happening with the ball so far today?

Somewhat, but mostly just interested to see whether our batsmen will be able to redeem themselves given the chance.

Wicket, be careful what you wish for etc.

 

[Pizzorno]

So King Pietersen automatically = Planetcricket now? Rightyo, calm down mate.

Ben, just nip it in the bud mate. No need to keep regurgitating the argument.

 

[GIMH]

30 needed then. Have not seen Hilfenhaus bat too much, what's he like, rabbit?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hilfenhaus to get us past the follow on. Actually, I'm kind of hoping we don't make it and England enforce it. If the Aussies bat well in the second innings it looks like a good day for it. That's a big if after their efforts in the first dig though.

Hope someone pins Broad with a good bouncer before the end of the series.

 

[TT Boy]

Should have an hour to bat before lunch. Time enough to get the lead back up to 260+.

 

[Pizzorno]

Yeah Manee stay in the shower all day please.

 

[Prince EWS]

Hilfenhaus knows how to hit a nice straight six. Don't think he knows how to do much else with the bat though, so this could be fun.

 

[tooextracool]

Its criminal the number of yorkers we've bowled this morning. Broad has barely pitched the ball on the batters side of the pitch and Anderson who has actually bowled decently hasn't got too many yorkers in either. I can understand bowling the short ball as a shock delivery, but the stock delivery really has to be the ball that is full and straight.

 

[Richard]

Somewhat, but mostly just interested to see whether our batsmen will be able to redeem themselves given the chance.

Said opportunity for redemption is precisely why I want to see us bat again.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah Manee stay in the shower all day please.
