*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

[CartyDurham]

A good keeper would have comfortably swallowed that

If he had arms about 4 foot long, it was a first slip catch all day but they are too deep .

 

[Spikey]

Usman going against what has made him the Greatest Opener of All Time with that quick single

 

[Shri]

 

[Uppercut]

Warner settling for getting out to Broad in more interesting ways.

 

[Starfighter]

Khawaja needs to get some more singles. Getting bogged down.

 

[CartyDurham]

Bad keeping

First slip catch all day.

 

[trundler]

A rare tentury for Warner in England

 

[ashley bach]

That's the shot of a man feeling very lost.

 

[ataraxia]

All great players have their way to score off the length channel ball.

 

[CartyDurham]

2 an over currently. Inspiring stuff

 

[Burgey]

He knows Jimmy is bowling hooping outies and first slip is very wide as a result. This is basic positioning and movement for a keeper, he should have got there comfortably

source: I was a keeper for years

Yeah not disagreeing in principle just saw the one replay and he looked miles from it, it probably wrong footed himself.
Always weird to me how the ball does more in Pom after half a dozen overs when some lacquer actually comes off the ball. Opposite here

Slip isn’t wide

 

[Meridio]

Bairstow completely cast in position there, probably should have been his catch. Root also a foot too deep and not in a great position to move, he's gone very late with the hand rather than moving the body. England a bit off so far in very helpful conditions

He’s too deep

I think when you pick Bairstow as WK you just need to accept he’s not catching those ones and hope the extra batting makes up for it. Having a proper WK has become so undervalued in tests.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Need a breakthrough

How did that constamt poor run rate posting work out last test

Nailed it

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Yes, plenty of wealthy people in attendance. But also thousands of “ordinary” cricket fans. I’ve been to Lord’s a few times and it doesn’t bother me.

Didn't get it, but never mind.

 

[CartyDurham]

How did that constamt line of poor run rate posting work out last test

And the first one , jumps in.

thanks . Everytime
