2nd Test, Lord's, London

Wtf is Holding on about

England should declare now btw. Zero point scoring runs here, it's not going to matter.

Stokes nailing down Siddles coffin here

 

[ajdude]

When Stokes came to the crease last night I'm sure everyone thought wow there's some easy runs for him here

Either that or yet another moronic post from Stephen

and on top of it all, he moved up the order to number 5. how the **** is this even remotely close to downhill skiing

I think we're at the point where Australia basically can't chase it down, so yeah. May as well wait until the end of the over though.

You don't know how good he is at sucking up to Langer

Warner might attempt a t20 chase

I can only echo the general bemusement of Holding's comments about Lyon. Just don't make sense on any level.

Time to give WADE A BOWL

He's probably slightly outboweld Hazlewood in this match so I think he'll probably survive.

Realistically that point came about half an hour ago

I think Holding was trying to say Ali should not have been dropped in a very weird way.

Surely his point was pretty obviously "don't drop Ali just because he had one bad Test"? Agree or disagree but that seemed pretty plain to me.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

is this the most disagreed with post ever made?

Na. I made a few of those.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah Holding's comments make little sense given the match situation. He had bad luck yesterday and a lot of today came in a bit of a no-win situation. Very different to Moeen getting smacked around when England were significantly ahead in the game.

48 overs - can England take 10 wickets? I feel like yes.

 

[Woodster]

Good declaration, 48 overs to bowl them out. Glad we didn’t bat any longer, excellent effort and well timed acceleration from Stokes! Early wickets please!

 

[mr_mister]

Jogging back to his cell after recreation yard

 

[GotSpin]

Blockathon please

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Glad Lyon tonned up. Good effort that.

I think Holding was trying to say Ali should not have been dropped in a very weird way.

He clear asked "Why isn't there any talk about Lyon getting dropped?
Because he'll probably jizz himself if Australia play 4 quicks.
