2nd Test, Lord's, London

[aussie tragic]

Warne saying Pattinsom should have played over Siddle being vindicated with 13 off Siddles first over

 

[StephenZA]

I agree with you on Denly, seems a lovely bloke but fortunate to get an opportunity at Test cricket.

There is a good few quality SA batsmen running around at county level... pass out some visas and sort the batting problem out.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Down leg

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice of Siddle to release the pressure.

 

[Burgey]

Don’t review that Joe. Salmon. Haze brilliant this morning

 

[Cabinet96]

What a spell from Haze, jeez.

 

[StephenZA]

And there goes Eng batting line-up...

 

[Starfighter]

This reminds me of the really terrible Siddle who who we refused to drop until he was injured, like when bowled pies against SA in Perth.

But that's good. I wonder if that's umpires call on height and leg stump though?

 

[Gnske]

Something has happened to Joe Root's career path

 

[Woodster]

We're not going to change our whole discussion because you didn't intend to talk about it in your reply

the whole reason we're talking about Curran & (more seriously) Woakes as top order options was so Roy could bat in the middle order. The whole point of the conversation was Roy's batting position.

Wasn’’t asking you to change anything mate, my comment was purely disagreeing with the clamour for Curran to bat higher up the order, at comment in isolation. Think I’m entitled to that.

 

[morgieb]

Well deserved. He's flat out on fire here, like the next McGrath talk isn't bullshit lol

 

[TheJediBrah]

You’re kidding Siddle. What a ****ing joke

Terrible stuff from Siddle. Something about a bowler releasing the pressure really bugs me.

He was just lulling them into a false sense of security!

 

[aussie tragic]

Hazlewood a revelation, where has Aus been hiding him

 

[King Pietersen]

Nice that from Hazlewood. Slightly fuller and catches Root in front, that's so out. This is going well......

 

[Spikey]

wickets are nice and all, but how about Hazlewood's economy rate! [/brettig]

 

[Gnske]

Well deserved. He's flat out on fire here, like the next McGrath talk isn't bullshit lol

Five (5) years of waiting

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I agree with you on Denly, seems a lovely bloke but fortunate to get an opportunity at Test cricket.

All the talk of dropping Roy and we still pick Denly. Neither should be in the side really but at least we know why Roy is in as we have no options to open. Denly just seems a dopey choice.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Lisa Sthaleker "now they're in strouble"

was gonna go "strife" but changed at the last minute

classic

she's great though

 

[Starfighter]

That reminds me of Root's dismissals in Australia.

 

[Uppercut]

lol.

I don't think he's bowling too short really. It's an awkward pitch imo when the initial movement goes. Anything pitched up is going.

Pitched that one up.
