*Official* Second Test at Lords

[Andre]

Flintoff finally took a legitimate wicket.

Boring. Give it a rest.

Have half the office staring at me as I just shouted 'yes' and punched the air

awwww didums!!!

 

[duffer]

Said it before, no one can celebrate a wicket like Freddie. Ah buggery, Clarke would elevate himself to perma legend status if he gets us home here.

Was the other half jumping with you?

 

[King Pietersen]

Brilliant start from England, Jimmy and Fred right on the button. Australia going to need a massive Clarke innings to have a sniff.

 

[Son Of Coco]

If MItch Johnson can last for two hours here with Clarke I'll stop saying he shouldn't be picked in the next test.

 

[superkingdave]

Was the other half jumping with you?

Not quite, but there were some knowing smiles

 

[simmy]

How does this rapido bowling not break more bats? They arent even knocked in are they?!

 

[JBH001]

Choose carefully, Pup.

Disagree. It could just be because he's English and so I naturally hate him, but the whole 'stand in the middle of the pitch and wait to be mobbed' thing just comes across as being supremely arrogant to me.

 

[simmy]

And is there an uglier looking bat in world cricket than Clarkes?!

He is Freddie. He is supposed to be arrogant.

AWTA.

Ouch!

If he bats for 2 hours it'll be over.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Clarke's feet looking so slow this morning. Been caught on the crease pretty much every ball.

 

[JBH001]

Nice bumper there, very nice indeed.

 

[Pizzorno]

Flintoff actually mentioned in his autobiography (at least I think that's where I read it) that his celebration is actually an imitation of what David Beckham used to do when he'd score for England. The whole arms out, i'm your man thing.

 

[kevinpietersen]

They are knocked in but only for about 1 hour not enough in my opinion

 

[simmy]

Play that Pup... lol
