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

[Son Of Coco]

Were Australia practicing edging the ball?

Smart play given they know it's safe to do so.

 

[CartyDurham]

Who was talking about Anderson? Robinson is the one bowling in the 70's

I see. Bring the keeper up then. Though he’s faster than Boland . He was garbage in the first test. Very defensive bringing your keeper up.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Well, no they aren't.

Oh ok I'm convinced

 

[Calm_profit]

Would have loved Mark Waugh analysis

 

[Starfighter]

Oh ok I'm convinced

I don't think anything would convince you.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Bazball means you drop catches faster.

 

[Shri]

rehan on as a sub. looks fit closeup but looks chubby when he is running after the ball

 

[CartyDurham]

Beaten for pace there pope

if buts and maybes again

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

To be fair, he's basically just a batsman now.

So they should bring in the better keeper. But then someone else will have to be dropped…

 

[CartyDurham]

Bazball means you drop catches faster.

Comedy is not for you, my friend. Must try harder

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

The arbiter of comedy

 

[CartyDurham]

And that would be Crawley but he’s undroppable, for reasons unknown

 

[TheJediBrah]

Broad spooked by Warner using his feet there

 

[Starfighter]

Who's off?

 

[CartyDurham]

The arbiter of comedy

And you clearly have no comedy in your body.

still never mind, you will get there, in the end

 

[TheJediBrah]

Comedy is not for you, my friend. Must try harder

Ouch. I felt that from here

 

[Shri]

Broad spooked by Warner using his feet there

imagine how spooked root must be

 

[Qlder]

Beaten for pace there pope

if buts and maybes again

No if, buts and maybe's. If England drop catches and lose they deserve it. Not "oh we really would have won if they took their catches"

 

[TheJediBrah]

Who's off?

Presumably one of the bowlers having a shower to relax

Blatant cheats

 

[Son Of Coco]

They could replace Jonny with a stool (the chair, not the other one). Although this would obviously weaken England's middle order when the stool goes out to bat.
