*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[Furball]

Bloody hell.

Golden Arm Smith strikes again.

Bell's absolutely creamed that too; damn decent grab from a 35 year old colour blind speccy.

I love Brumby's way with words

 

[LegionOfBrad]

They all in trackies on the balcony I don't think they're declaring.

Meanwhile another chance for Bairstow.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wade can't claim that currently either; he averages 34.



There's no way he's a better bat than Hughes IMO. Khawaja and Cowan are definitely more debatable though.

I was rounding up for the sake of a vaguely congent rant.

That or I haven't taken proper note of his apparently being seriously gash in India.

& you still on Hughes's dick? Kid has a great eye and all, but with that technique...

 

[Spikey]

Nah he middled it to the fielder.

Ball was on the stumps though, when he saw it wasn't bouncing as expected he had to go through with the shot.

But I'd like to see a better replay to get a clearer indication

 

[GIMH]

Bloody hell.

7/10 men are colour blind tbh

 

[Pothas]

hhaha Holding, 'that would be the end'

 

[Furball]

I really hope Anderson gets sent out as a nightwatchman now

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yes, thank you, Beefy.

 

[jan]

Left handed batsmen with spectacles are simply cool. Colorblind or not.

 

[Furball]

Is Holding daft? England have just put 100 overs onto Australia's bowlers.

 

[Furball]

Yes, thank you, Beefy.

Harsh, he's lost weight.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Nope that was the last chance to declare tonight. Well played Root.

 

[Expressway76]

Is Holding daft? England have just put 100 overs onto Australia's bowlers.

When they see Ryan Harris pull up with a side strain, or limp off they'll declare.

 

[Spikey]

Joe Root misses a golden chance to join Lloyd, Woolmer, George Ulyett and Mohsin Khan on the list of batsmen dismissed on 149 against Australia. A grave mistake imo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Is Holding daft? England have just put 100 overs onto Australia's bowlers.

Some of the old school players can't change their way of thinking from when they played.

 

[Maximas]

If our bowlers couldn't handle that they wouldn't be playing test matches...

 

[Pothas]

Lovely last 50 from Root.

Don't like the 'Rooooot' thing from the crowd though, all a bit American golf fan.

 

[Furball]

I suppose in Holding's day 100 overs was 3 day's worth.

 

[Furball]

If our bowlers couldn't handle that they wouldn't be playing test matches...

It all adds up at the end of the series though. Australia have already bowled about 180 more overs than England.

 

[BoyBrumby]

If our bowlers couldn't handle that they wouldn't be playing test matches...

Siddle's the only one of your front line who's properly fit, isn't he?

I mean, there's been no word of a knock and/or niggle from Harris, but he be Harris...
