*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[morgieb]

If one of these substitute ****s runs out Clarke or takes a catch while the other arseholes are off getting their knobs polished I will need a new 60" plasma.

I'll probably need to find a new forum to post on....lol.

that's exactly the reason Khawahja hasn't cracked the team yet, makes scores in shield cricket when he gets a lot more boundary balls but atm he's just not cut out for it.

And he hasn't even been setting the world alight in Shield cricket the last couple of seasons...It feels like he's almost there in a peciking order because of his domestic work in the 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons. Bit like how England do with guys like Bopara.

 

[Goughy]

Poor dismissal for sure but your going to cut him loose after 1 brain explosion after some of the **** our top order has put out in recent years. Give him a chance to settle. If he keeps doing it then hes not good enough.

I agree with that logic. However, the same applies to Cowan. He was one of the best 11 for the first Test. He was sick, failed and dropped. By that logic, shouldn't he still be in the team?

Watching Clarke bat with these guys makes me feel like I'm watching Under 10's and Clarke's faked his age.

Add to that he was moved to number 3 for that test

Meanwhile, Aus A are 8/151...

For a team that has Warner, Maddinson, Finch and Maxwell in the top six that isn't too bad

 

[dermo]

Vaughn and Agnew ripping into Watson now on radio, good listening

 

[Prince EWS]

Can someone clarify the sub rules to me? How is it that England have a fielding coach as sub fielder? Don't you have to have a 12th man for that?

You can put on whoever you like basically.

Lol or he's the coaches son who takes it seriously

 

[LongHopCassidy]

I've heard from many sources that Khawaja is a softcock. I don't want to sound stereotypical but it doesn't surprise me.

As in easily rattled or an apathetic ****?

Important difference, even if Twatto embodies both.

harsh to Maddinson, he's been in top form the last 6 months

 

[Spark]

150?

 

[Expressway76]

[Maximas]

[Ikki]

Watching these mother ****ers play is giving me the ****s.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

[91Jmay]

Great delivery that and great catch.

Ah that's a bit unlucky. Good bowling.
