2nd Test, Lord's, London

[Cabinet96]

Lol Warner. The ban made him look a better player outside Australia.

He got 50s in every test of the 2015 Ashes and had a good World Cup. The ban was irrelevant in expectations for his series.


This round the wicket stuff feels a bit Gilchrist in 2005 though. Not sure how many bowlers have really targeted him with this before.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Play that! Total jaffa to Khawaja. He's such a streaky bowler, Broad. When he hits that groove he looks unplayable.

 

[Pothas]

England absolutely have to be bowling at Smith tonight.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Archer has such an easy action, doesn't he? 89.2mph from barely more than a jog.

It's those long levers of his.

England absolutely have to be bowling at Smith tonight.

Need him out to be honest.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Is Beefy going to keep calling him Jeffrey Archer? And will Sanga have the testicular fortitude to correct him?

 

[trundler]

Well, looks like there's no movement until Broad comes on. You really do have to appreciate that.

Ganguly calls him Joffrey

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ganguly calls him Joffrey

Can see his point. The boy king ruthlessly dispatching his rivals.

 

[trundler]

15 minutes. 10 overs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

lots of shoulder arming

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Woakes' record at this ground is insane

 

[trundler]

Lordsmeister causing problems

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bring in the leech

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

more in the tank for archer

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bancroft has looked much better today than in the first test.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

jofra bowling a jaffa

perfecto

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not a very clever shot 5 minutes from stumps.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Australia's day, need to bounce back with a very good opening session tomorrow or we are praying for lots of rain to save us.

 

[Gob]

TPC ton would do nicely
