*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[LongHopCassidy]

Khawaja getting a backrub to cope with the stress of being the next long-term number 3.

Twatto has to get out to Anderson in the next few overs. It is written.

 

[Uppercut]

Wonder if this is one of those Anderson spells where he looks awesome but doesn't do the damage you think he should because he's pitching a metre too short

Don't think so, Watto gets well forward and it's a caught-behind pitch. He's just been unlucky so far.

Too early to tell for sure but that is a good call. He could certainly do with pitching it up another foot or so.

Gut feeling is it will be Broad who gets the wickets today not Jimmy.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I'd say Harris is just as good but it doesn't look as spectacular and he only plays once every blue moon

He also can't bowl 10+ over spells really, at least not safely. One of Anderson's biggest strengths is the huge over counts along with how much of a threat he is. But yeah Harris bowled very well this test.

Watto gets forward to anything though. Just based on the way the ball was clearing the stumps, though, and the fact that he has done this a few times in the last few years...

If Australia make 600 I'll let a different Aussie pick my avatar each day until the end of the series. Just won't happen.

tasty

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hughes batting 4 this time? Nice.

 

[Spark]

Was so hoping he'd review it

 

[Spikey]

you know, i think i probably would have given that

 

[Uppercut]

Outside the line I thought.

 

[Goughy]

I hope someone does. I dont have a great feeling about today. Can see Aus 250-2 at stumps.

 

[Spark]

Anderson seems to have forgotten that Rogers bats left handed

 

[Bahnz]

Urgh, I really wish Geoff Boycott would stfu about how much he loves eating Katy Perry's cake.

 

[91Jmay]

That is one of the very rare ones that if that had been given out IMO it would have been close to a howler. I know DRS wouldn't have overturned it if it was given out but it just didn't look right.

It's one of those where there's a bit of doubt over three things: the line, the height and whether he's hit it. I really wouldn't expect any umpire to give those but if one did, it'd stand.

 

[Maximas]

more of that please Twatto

 

[Ruckus]

blistering

on the other hand, when you plant your front pad like that you lose the BOTD
