*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[Lillian Thomson]

I don't get the use of Ali. If England are intent on bringing the spinner on early and have him bowl 25% of the overs we really to pick a proper one........just a shame there isn't a decent spinner available.

Just been on cricinfo, wish I hadn't. All the comments about who should replace Lyth with Hales getting tipped. Hales? Never a test opener, not a chance.

Guess they will be saying drop Moeen, Ballance, Bell and Wood next.

Drop Ballance. Root to 3 Stokes to 5 and play Rashid

 

[Spikey]

Hads was probably trolling though

 

[Compton]

The way he trundles about I'm surprised Shane Watson isn't covered in bullet holes and stab marks.

I'd just swap Ballance and Root tbh.

 

[Spikey]

They'll be saying moeen should bat higher

Cant live with Ballance. Struggling to think of a worst looking top order batsman

 

[Gob]

Is it gonna rain a lot tomorrow?

 

[Spikey]

Broad has been gun in the field this game

 

[Spark]

Is it gonna rain a lot tomorrow?

Fair bit forecasted for the morning. Should still get plenty of cricket in though.

 

[ajdude]

Quotes? Sounds interesting. Botham and Nasser talking about it too.

this surely puts it all to rest though

 

[Tangles]

Bit boring this. Need some TPC to liven it up

 

[Compton]

He always looks uncomfortable, but he generally gets runs. He's struggling against fresh bowlers with the new ball. I'd move him down the order. Largely because England don't have many better options for batsmen. Unless of course they revisit the whole KP issue...

 

[GIMH]

If the forecast is overnight rain just leave the ground uncovered overnight

 

[Howe_zat]

Well this is dire

Yep. There in black and white that he doesn't like him. Words never lie

 

[GIMH]

Good job we aren't commentating as I am falling asleep

They should definitely do this, would save us having to bowl you out when you forfeit the match.

 

[Gob]

Hope they wont play for stump here. Should stay aggressive right to the end

And means I can do other stuff tomorrow
