*Official* Second Test at Lords

[simmy]

Swann did take two wickets yeasterday

He will bowl well today...

 

[Ausage]

Luck really on our side today. Don't know if that's a good or a bad sign.

 

[Adamc]

How many overs is Flintoff likely to bowl? His legs must be close to falling off surely.

 

[JBH001]

Swann to come on from Broad's end if Broad cant get his pace up to 90 mph.

 

[pup11]

Hauritz literally biting his fingernails...

Nice shots Pup and Midge.

Could be hoping and praying that he isn't required to come out and bat.

Meanwhile, Mitch is really making me horribly nervous.

 

[GIMH]

He'll roll in a wheelchair if he has to

 

[vicky]

Clarke looking much more confident now...

 

[Son Of Coco]

"Now we're not sure if Hussey hit this or not"

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Swann to come on from Broad's end if Broad cant get his pace up to 90 mph.

I'll take 5 94mph wides, hbu?

 

[vic_orthdox]

He'll roll in a wheelchair if he has to

Was going to say, probably still hit the bat harder than Broad if he was on crutches.

 

[Pizzorno]

Swann to come on from Broad's end if Broad cant get his pace up to 90 mph.

Nah mate, Broad's got 10 overs no matter how he bowls. It's the genius thinking of Strauss.

You know Australia have next to no chance but still you feel compelled to watch.

Because you don't want to miss something special.

I'd be pissed if I thought the game was over and went to bed early, then woke up in the morning to hear that we won. Can't miss this, in case we make history or do something special.

What I generally find is that history is more likely occur if you go to bed, which is what I'm contemplating because this time last night I thought we wouldn't be in with a shout.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Nass raving about bringing Swann on for Johnson. Obviously didn't see him tear Harris's head off in SA, then.

 

[inbox24]

350 up, 172 to go!

 

[LongHopCassidy]

350 up.

Mind the windows, Mitch.

 

[JBH001]

As long as one of them is nicked to slips, yep.

 

[Craig]

I think it is fair to say Broad's sister is sleeping with Strauss.

 

[Athlai]

Clarkes average creeping to 50.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Is Broad's average 40 yet?

And Ricky, tell Flintoff he can't go off for an ice-pack on the knee. If he wants to play he has to be fully fit to start with.
