*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[GIMH]

bahh who cares, its not like clarke needs to prove to anyone he can bat for a long time, and we were never going to get close anyway

Well I'd hope that isn't the attitude in the Aussie camp

Well actually I hope it is

That was a beauty...

 

[Spikey]

i thought there was maybe a nick

 

[Uppercut]

It's kind of hard to know what he thought he would achieve with that shot

Bit of a brain fart really. Maybe he didn't notice the leg slip. Or maybe he decided it was too tight to leave at the last minute.

 

[GIMH]

Hmmmm

Not out I think

 

[Spikey]

is it me or is hotspot a bit more grainy than usual in this match?

cant overturn it

 

[Spark]

Once again, I still fail to see how anyone is going to get out of one of those deliveries. He's missed that by several inches.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Almost too full to be a genuine half volley too.

 

[Spark]

Yeah he must have just had a brain fade - I mean, he could've just let that happen for an over and eventually the umpire would've gotten bored and started calling wides.

See Cook vs. India - 1st test in India 2012 for what the captain saying "we aren't pushovers" can do for a series.

Sure a Clarke 130-150 may not have changed the course of the series, but it wouldn't have hurt!

meh I'd prefer players like Usman etc. show they can stand up as individuals, irrespective of what happens around them, more than anything atm

 

[Spikey]

Spark might really go to bed now

 

[91Jmay]

Root bowling well, in this rough all you need is accuracy which he has. Great ball for that one. Such a bonus, what a talent he is.

 

[GIMH]

Root could beat the Aussies on his own

 

[Uppercut]

Unlucky for Khawaja, can't do much about that. Impressive innings anyway.

 

[Spark]

Sigh. Definitely my cue to go to bed, then

 

[Jono]

Haha Root wag.

Poor Usman. We'll see him, barring injury, for the rest of this series and the down under series. This is a good thing.

 

[91Jmay]

Great drift and turn on that delivery. Swann and Root from both ends?

 

[Pothas]

Ok finally given up on seeing any cricket tomorow. Let us end this quickly now.

Least you'll get a full refund.

 

[GIMH]

Just remembered the dream I had last night. Cook decided to have a bowl. Can't remember how it went.
