2nd Test, Lord's, London

[Lillian Thomson]

And with all due respect, wickets in the wi were no worst than old school waca wickets. Just look at the wicket from the 96-97 frank worrell test series

No idea what your point is.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Can't believe he's still bowling and doing it at 92+.

And still looks fairly fresh, exuberance of youth. Guy is a freak.

 

[TheJediBrah]

would be harsh for Jofra to have a spell and someone else comes on to clean up the tail and he's left with 2-60

 

[Starfighter]

if he does have some whippiness of the elbow, I don't think it's every ball, just seems to be on occasion

I might agree actually. I think he's usually very fine but he's got a Charlie Griffith quality. His bouncers have actually been reading about 3-5 mph faster than his length balls interestingly.

Puff of dust and the best ball he's bowled all day.

 

[Burgey]

Can't believe he's still bowling and doing it at 92+.

He had two sessions off yesterday and bowled a few on day two as well, all in pretty cool conditions. Terrific fitness but let’s not quite put him down in the marathon man stakes quite yet.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Woakes and Broad with the new rock

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah 'no worse' than a pitch that looked like the bottom of a dry farm dam.

Yeah it's going to look very impressive on the scorecard before you realise it's actually been over 3 days with huge breaks

Calling it now - Bairstow is gonna be the Wade to Leach's Lyon.

Won't be so simple, Smithy will bat last and get that daddy 100.

7th over of this spell though and no drop off. That alone is impressive.

 

[mr_mister]

Another over? Drug test this bloke

Not a big call

Genetics.

 

[Dan]

Not a big call

Biggest element of it is #TauntonVettori being just as good, if not better, than Nathan Lyon.

 

[Daemon]

How is that not a wide?

 

[Midwinter]

Is this the lowest score the 2nd new ball has taken at recently ?

 

[Starfighter]

How is that not a wide?

They've been generous on height, and now on line too.
