I missed a lot of the stuff early on today, how has Finn been bowling compared to yesterday?

 

[Jacknife]

So Finn played, went for 100+ at close to 4 runs an over. Onions for Lord's?

If you're just looking at the figures but he's bowled pretty well on the whole, very good this morning imo and Lords is his home ground.

 

[Jacknife]

It has, hasn't it? I blame the pitches, tbh. Bowling pitches just make for greater spectacles.

Yes compared to the last 3 or so England summers, they've been very flat, due to the unusual amount of rain we've had.

Yeah, slow pitches generally don't make for great viewing.

The worst of the bowlers in the morning. Haven't caught much of this session, admittedly.

Thought he bowled really well this morning all the bowlers did tbf, .always asking questions, plenty of play & misses and accurate, looks to have tired a bit this afternoon though.

Really? they all bowled well but him and Jimmy were the stand outs I thought, unfortunately I've watched every ball.

Was talking about Finn.

 

[Jacknife]

Was talking about Finn.

So am I, said him and Jimmy.

 

[Prince EWS]

That didn't come anywhere close to carrying.

Most annoying thing about slow pitches by far. That should be a chance in any serious game of cricket.

 

[kingkallis]

If JP is not going to hit a few, whats the point of shielding Tahir?

 

[Uppercut]

Much higher quality of cricket today. Looks like the whole game hinged on Cook's dropped catch.

 

[Stumpcam]

England didn't do anything to keep Duminy off strike at the end of that over. Same field, no-one came in any closer, standard fielding.

Clueless!

 

[Jacknife]

Nearly hit that straight to gully then, much closer than I originally thought.

 

[Jacknife]

Come on Jimmy finish this off FFS, full and straight, or maybe for once try the yorker.

Not quite but thank **** for that, now the real game begins.

 

[kingkallis]

I think JP was in double mind. He didnt even try to hit it with full strength...

 

[kingkallis]

419 then!

 

[Stumpcam]

Cooky takes a second catch in the slips.

Two out of three 'aint bad. I suppose.
