2nd Test, Lord's, London

[trundler]

Looked out to me. Don't think it picked the straightening completely

 

[Woodster]

Would love to see some real intent from these two in the next 45 mins to an hour. Admittedly not an easy pitch to go all-out attack on, can see us grinding our way to an acceptable score before really accelerating, or getting bowled out.

 

[mr_mister]

Damn. At least I kind of get why you'd refer something like that, I feel like the ball was straightening more than what HawkEye said.

The players did not accept it as readily as they normally do. Possibly when there's an error with ball tracking like we saw it can't produce the proper accurate prediction?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Another great call by Paine.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Nowhere near. It hit both pads, and the first impact was going down.

 

[social]

Cummins is genuinely as good as I've seen at getting set batsmen out in unexpected ways.

Quick bowler bouncing someone out is hardly unexpected

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nowhere near. It hit both pads, and the first impact was going down.

You could see middle stump when the ball hit his pad so was clearly missing.

 

[slippy888]

England are better off going for quick runs here Australia team must be vularable after what happen to smith.

 

[Spark]

Yeah I don't see the problem there. He played for turn, it didn't turn, if it had he'd have hit it.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah I don't see the problem there. He played for turn, it didn't turn, if it had he'd have hit it.

Yeah I think HawkEye's analysis is fair enough. Can see why you'd think it'd turn though.

 

[mr_mister]

Must just be desperation then

 

[Spark]

Mind you, really would like another replay

 

[morgieb]

Must just be desperation then

Kind of desperation, but I also suspect the fact that him not referring key decisions backfiring on him had a bit to do with it too.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah they're going for it now. Lyon probably not the best option in this circumstance.

 

[trundler]

That's bad

 

[ajdude]

if he hit that,

 

[Spark]

See that, that is what it looks like when it turns.

 

[ajdude]

he actually smashed it lol. done

 

[morgieb]

**** I think he might've gloved it.

Or not.

 

[GotSpin]

He smashed it. Rubbish decision
