2nd Test, Lord's, London

[Groundking]

Why do these ****ers refuse to pitch it up consistently

 

[Uppercut]

The whole team should've been gone up for that one he left that hit him on the pads. Make him think it was close. It's what the Aussies would've done.

As an Englishman should Archer wear dreads?

That would be normal in comparison to the KP skunk.

 

[GIMH]

Smith looks terrible, clearly regressing towards the mean

(looks forward to this post being dug when he's 300 not out)

 

[aussie tragic]

Lucky England have Butler in the side, get Bairstow off instead of wastin fine weather time

 

[morgieb]

Radar suggests the rain probably won't fall until lunch. Can't wait to be 7 down at that point.....

Hae we had a worst hairstyles thread? That would be a very strong contender.

Saying about overbowling Archer if the forecast is correct then it won't matter, if it is wrong then Stokes and Leach take up the slack later in the day. Advantage of having 5 bowlers in the side. In all probability we are only playing a session today so bowl the main 3 all the session. Got a days rest before tomorrow then anyway.

Doesn't matter if Smith's not out

Miller with his blue hair a disaster too.

Ffs Todd Woodbridge needs to ****ing go or at least stop trying to make comments when he clearly has no idea what he's talking about

 

[Starfighter]

Just gotta express my annoyance at Bairstow scoring runs yesterday. Pretty much rules out the chance of Stokes-Foakes-Woakes.


Lol at Heals thinking paracetamol actually does something. It doesn't.

It does if you think it does. He's actually being a genius.

 

[91Jmay]

Stokes could be a handful in these conditions.

 

[aussie tragic]

Smith is embarrassing to watch.. what the hell is going on in his head?

 

[GIMH]

Looking good for the follow-on here

 

[Compton]

No idea why people say Smith isn’t good to watch. That forward defence was the most interesting shot I’ve seen in months.

 

[Starfighter]

That one from Woakes just went. Looks like this might be another instance of the ball swinging later in the innings. Those drops off Burns might come back to bite us as it was this age that England collapsed (ignoring our collapsing ability anyway).

Paracetamol certainly does do something

Ever taken them with a bad cold? Noticeable relief

Never done anything at all for me for a variety of ailments.
