2nd Test, Lord's, London

The last Australian PM to publicly comment on cricket didn't last much longer.

Aussie PM - their opinion is not worth a piece of p..s

Cummins doesn't score runs anyway who cares what bat he has as long as he can stay out there for a few hours bunting and playing and missing like he usually does

 

[mr_mister]

I feel despite this certainly heading for a draw it's gonna be very tough to retain these ashes now

 

[Burgey]

Depends if Smith can bat tomorrow. your batting is rubbish him apart.

The state of England’s batting is why Australia can still win, mate

 

[morgieb]

Ah, what's the session length under the four day rules? Is the middle session longer?

Yeah, it's half an hour longer.

 

[Dan]

nah, the match situation is always a factor in calling a review the worst ever. in fact, the match situation makes the cummins one look even worse, because why even waste one on Pat Cummins when Steve Smith is at the other end

(in all seriousness yeah you're right)

 

[Starfighter]

I have bits of old wood in the backyard that would make a better sound than Cummin's bat is making.

I don’t know why you’d say that. Only the rain will stop this being a whitewash.

 

[Second Spitter]

Some people, in fact quite a lot, still booed Smith off.

English fans are like school in the summertime ....

...no class.

Depends on if Smith actually broke his arm or not. If it's only concussion he's still in trouble for the third Test but will be back for Tests 4/5.

And Australia only need one more win if this Test is a draw to retain the Ashes.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Pitch it up should be the mantra

 

[old_kookaburra]

Yeah I still noticed a lot of booing when he came back on and was dismissed. Pretty terrible form in this case.

oh well, everyone needs a villian, still a classy batter and a young man still, Warne was a villian, still a good bowler, but a knob though

 

[Dan]

That was well set up by Wokes.

Everyone, seemingly Joe Root included, forgets that he's a thing and can't bring themselves to realise that he's actually good.

I don’t know why you’d say that. Only the rain will stop this being a whitewash.

Am worried Archer has Smith's number

 

[trundler]

Cummins needs to have a go

 

[TheJediBrah]

If Aussies can get Haze/Pat/*** firing together and Lyon as well I'd back them in this series even without Smith

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

They make those bats in Dehli?

He's out for the third test if he's concussed, the official protocol rules him out for a period longer than the break between the games

Wait, what?

You been watching the same series as me?

Worst English top order I can remember.

 

[trundler]

Lol no

If he isn't injured he'll be fine. Smith with a point to prove is a Smith you can't stop.
