If you're going to try to troll, you'll make less of a tit of yourself if you don't do it in text-speak.
Yes, the game could well be decided, by how well England bowl tomorrow, or how badly SL bat. The pitch doesn't tend to deteriorate that badly at Lords and quite a few teams, have put up decent final innings totals, even Bang put up nearly 400 in their 2nd innings last year and in the Ashes, in 2009, the Aussies put up 406, so it very rarely becomes too difficult to bat.If the England bowlers turn up tomorrow and bowl as we know they can, they should be able to dismiss SL before they get within 100 of England's total.
England then bat for the remainder of day 3 and two sessions of day 4 and if they put their foot down a bit, a lead of over 350 should be easily possible.
On day 5 the dry pitch should be turning a fair bit and Swann will be a major threat.
This is all so long as the weather plays ball, which is somewhat uncertain.
Or perhaps I am a touch too optimistic.
McGrath was still getting batsmen out with bouncers, and I deed hitting them and hurting them, in his last year of cricket bowling 80mph tops.Indeed. Heck, you saw Bravo's bouncer to Pietersen which knocked off his helmet. That couldn't have been more than 80mph but it made KP look like a right chump. (And that was back when he could bat too)
If memory serves he cracked Pietersen's ribs with a well directed short one in the CB series that followed the 06/07 Ashes.
Yeah he did. Pietersen charged him and McGrath brought the LOLs by way of counter.
Of course but he never really did find his feet. Broad outbowled him by some distance with the new ball.
TBF, the bowling from both sides, both pace and spin, have looked woefully short of test standard. With the pitch turning out to be an absolute road after the first two sessions, this seems to have draw written all over it.
