*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[grecian]

Brilliant, Jimmeh is night-watchman for Broad, can this get any worse?

 

[BeeGee]

Smith is my new favourite Australian cricketer.

 

[91Jmay]

Christ Agar is looking a little poor now isn't he. Smith has turned some here, great bowling display. Aussies dominating the day now. That said if we get over 320 I'd be happy enough, Swann will spin it from ball one here.

 

[Cabinet96]

This is a realy chance for Smith to get four.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Why the **** are we playing a nightwatchman when we're down to the bowlers. Useless ****ing shower of ****e.

Grow a ****ing spine and bat.

 

[Spikey]

oh yeah

Aussies day by a long way but if we can somehow get 400 i'd be more than happy.

Lets face it at 28-3 we'd have been delighted with 283-7

I wouldn't bother with him bowling. Keep the one who turns it as the bowler and have him bat 3.

 

[Uppercut]

What variation was it that got Prior out?

 

[Spikey]

guys this is more unbelievable than Agar's 98

 

[Prince EWS]

Real lack of words to describe this

Why did he give up bowling? He's played really, really well.

He didn't quite give it up as such. He decided to take a break from it because he felt his head was too clouded with different advice from too many different sources. His idea was to focus on his batting for the second half of last domestic season and then spend this offseason really working on his bowling, starting from scratch and developing something more natural in order to return next season as an allrounder. The Australian selectors threw a spanner in the works though by telling him he wouldn't be spending the offseason working on his leggies as he'd be touring India as a reserve batsman.

 

[Cabinet96]

Will Smith be bowling leg-spin or off-spin

Both.

 

[ajdude]

Will Smith be bowling leg-spin or off-spin

as in the actor or the Durham cricketer?

What variation was it that got Prior out?

Commentators called it a flipper but I'd like to get a better look at it; I thought it was a top spinner live and then missed the replay.

 

[91Jmay]

Its funny now Jimmeh is now a complete bunny. He used to be able to block.

 

[Viscount Tom]

oh yeah

Ryan Harris shocks the world by not even being the first Aussie bowler to get injured.

 

[Spikey]

Smith has got a 2nd slip in

Was neither. Back spinner.
