*Official* Second Test at Lords

[pup11]

Totally agree RE: his mindset, his body language has been poor all series, can't help but think its not just his bowling getting him down.

His mum's timing to spew venom in public for Mitch and his girlfriend wasn't the greatest, was it...

No... no it wasn't

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Clarke to get out just before stumps, when an Australian win is starting to look possible again.

 

[Goughy]

Interesting that Atherton implied Ponting will step down as captain if Aus lose? Is that likely?

Misreading one from Freddie which knocks his stumps over

 

[James90]

Warney ripping it up in the commentary box. Fantastic stuff.

 

[Pizzorno]

No more wickets will fall today. I'd put money on that if I had any.

No. Punter wouldn't step down from a high horse either.

Slower ball...

Doubt it, he wants to mould the team and leave that as his legacy so he'll go on as long as he's scoring runs. The only thing that'll force him to quit is either his body giving out or the Australian media, but he'd have to wait for the home season for the latter to really bite.

Athers **** stirring from the box again, where is McGrath when you need him.

You can put your house on Clarke getting out before stumps. Just a fact of life.

Yeah, brilliant. Warne has been great on with Athers, just enough **** stirring without being OTT.

Agreed, he's been excellent

 

[Uppercut]

Agreed, he's been excellent

Yep, really enjoy listening to him.

Haha, was thinking the same thing, Pup is virtually a walking wicket in the last moments of a day's play.

Yep spot on,Struggle to recall the last time a regular player retired/was retired ouside of the November-March period, maybe Mark Waugh.

I think it is very likely.

 

[James90]

No way in the world Ponting will step down. If they get pumped and he ****s up like at Edgbaston 05 then he may be pushed but even then it's unlikely.

 

[Demolition Man]

under 300 to win now. oooooooooooooooooooooo eeeeeeeppppp
