*Official* Second Test at Lord's - Aug 12-16 2021

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ookay, that was a Sachin cover drive.

 

[silentstriker]

I feel like if you’re gonna pick Moeen Ali, you have to give him a few more overs than this. Otherwise just have a batsman throw a few down once in a while.

 

[silentstriker]

Needs to play some LO cricket

No.

Agree with some FC cricket time tho - home and/or overseas.

Remarkable bit of ball following after the horse has bolted from Root there.

Ball bubbles up to the absent short leg and, bam, next ball we have one.

As a captain he's a great batsman...

Shud open for CSK and rediscover his best form.

 

[silentstriker]

Given the knocks he played in Australia, I do think you give him a little more time. Not that I trust Agarwal here. But what else can you do.

Yeah, it's the old class/form permanent/temporary thing.

Unfortunately Che has possibly reached the age where vicissitudes of form are seen as permanent declines now.

he bowled him there didn't he

ahh it was butler's pad. Really close there tho. Bit of luck going India's way here.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I hope they put KL's name on the Lord's honors board as "Lokesh Rahul"

 

[MW1304]

Wood not passing the Australia test here is he.

Played Rahul. Has looked like the guy who burst onto the scene again in this series.

 

[cnerd123]

well played

Nope, Wood's been pretty ineffectual hasn't he.

Whereas Rahul has been outstanding again. Well batted young man.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Played Rahul.

Per TMS this is now England's worst start to a match ever when choosing to bowl first at home.

At least you can't lose a game in the first innings. You always have the opportunity to hit back with 500+.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

You always have the opportunity to hit back with 500+.

I'm not sure this line up has that opportunity.

 

[Noumenon]

Broad Jr busy on social media building up his resume as a pundit.

 

[cnerd123]

of course Kohli nicks off now

Things were going too well

 

[MW1304]

Day not a write-off if we can prise KL out here. Need a Jimmy special.

You seem worried!
