2nd Test, Lord's, London

[Second Spitter]

Archer has been either too wide or too straight or too short.

 

[halba]

hah. england really disappointing.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah not doing as much in the air as you'd expect either. Though that could also be the shite lengths.

 

[trundler]

Holding made a good point there

There has been little swing so far in these two matches despite there being some hype about the ball beforehand. I think it's the dry pitches, and it shows that the ECB didn't need to ruin the ball to let people score more runs in the CC, they just needed flatter pitches.

Tbh what I'd been hearing before this series is that this year's set of balls aren't really swinging at all, especially compared to last year's set.

yep. huge difference in class between the teams evident. its evident india's the no.1 test side as well. bumrah/shami/bhuvnesh on this wicket would be unplayable.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Poor bowling so far. At this rate Leach might get the last over before drinks.

 

[DriveClub]

Obviously Poms are fatigued by the world cup win. Needed more time to celebrate the triumph

bit random but ok?

 

[stephen]

Poor decision IMO.

 

[mr_mister]

Bancroft taking a gamble here

 

[TheJediBrah]

Didn't look quite right to me tbh

either high or outside the line I thought

 

[DriveClub]

Looks high

 

[stephen]

Too high.

 

[Jarquis]

High?

 

[DriveClub]

Ok not high enough

 

[King Pietersen]

Looks a bit high, but amazing what can happen when you actually pitch the ****ing thing up.
