*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[Gnske]

Boy, really glad we have a segment to get Warnie's thoughts.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Wish the WSOP was like a month later in the year.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Australia absolutely, unequivocally have to stop trying to hit boundaries off every ball Moeen bowls.

He chucks a few rank balls every over, punish those. He bowls a few decent ones, block those.

yeah

 

[TheJediBrah]

pick your fielders. Good work boyz.

 

[Zinzan]

Top class bell-ringing from Ponting.

 

[Gnske]

Someone has to try taking a shot every time Healy mis-pronounces Wood as Ward.

 

[ajdude]

this is so disturbing, wow.

actually not as disturbing as #returnthehurn

 

[stephen]

Nice shot for the 50 there by Rogers. Top innings so far.

 

[Tangles]

Decent score to wake up too.

 

[Swingpanzee]

can just sense we're gonna throw this away

 

[morgieb]

Yeah. Smith needs to be rotating the strike.

 

[Woodster]

10 wickets is going to be hard work on this pitch in the first innings. Think England have been ok so far,been fairly disciplined and given the ball every chance to swing. Inevitably with bowling full the Aussies have got a few drives away and the run rate's been very decent at times,which can happen.

Just got to keep patient and keep mixing things up. Good test for Cook's captaincy today!

I love how Warnie continually talks about the great food at Lord's, by referring to cheese toasties...

I'm sure that's what the chef saw himself doing in life; gave up a job at a three hat restaurant to get the Breville out.

 

[Uppercut]

Not a fan of spin from both ends here at all. If anything should be bringing Root on for Ali to get the batsman out playing for turn.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah seriously, wtf Cook.

 

[GIMH]

Awful from us. Sack the bloody lot of them.

 

[wpdavid]

Yup, one would be plenty, especially as they're only marginally different versions of the same thing.

But I suspect it's academic after we didn't do a thing with the new ball on this pitch.

 

[Jayzamann]

Damnit I can't draw my focus away from Commander Blue Eyes' nose now. Shattered.

 

[Spark]

That passage of cricket there was very very MS Dhoni

 

[vic_orthdox]

Warnie, isn't this a ring field?
