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

[Shri]

he's no kohli but good attempt:

 

[Spark]

That was a tight leave with the slope.

Yeah he's not picked the inswinger there

 

[CartyDurham]

Bairstow being reminiscent of a turd behind the stumps was an astute observation tbf.

Agreed but is “England fit for humans “ is borderline

just imagine if I had said the same about other countries

there would have been howls about that one

 

[Starfighter]

nom nom

Moving the ball on the Lord's slope is not usually considered the most difficult skill. He's otherwise bowled rubbish. i suppose if you want to be smug you can.

 

[CartyDurham]

Yeah he's not picked the inswinger there

Good ball?

 

[trundler]

Maybe you should look in a mirror when the entirety of your argument in this case consists of a simple assertions without evidence based on something that you want to believe (to an almost religious extent).

If something is universally true at every level then proving otherwise would require extraordinary evidence. Anyone who's ever picked up a cricket ball knows your insistence is hilariously untenable.

 

[Burgey]

Good nut that. Shitty timing but will take one fer in the conditions. Poms would have wanted at least three after winning the toss and bowling.

 

[Qlder]

Play until 642pm uk time today, to get the overs in

no chance of that with this attack. Be lucky to get above 80 overs in

another fine incoming and I cant remember if Stokes is on points for a ban?

Captains don't get banned anymore for slow over rates since WTC. The team loses WTC points instead (Aus and Eng both lost 2 WTC points in last test)

Go away

Yeah, but he said it about England, so it's fine.

 

[Croadymeister]

What on earth

You have 73 on the board and we have dropped two catches,what's their to moan about from Aussie point of view

 

[CartyDurham]

Thank you. If they were, his ban would be imminent

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Nonetheless a fantastic start for Australia

You’d have had questions to answer

 

[CartyDurham]

Yeah, but he said it about England, so it's fine.

I see. I’ll not stoop to that level

 

[Starfighter]

If something is universally true at every level then proving otherwise would require extraordinary evidence. Anyone who's ever picked up a cricket ball knows your insistence is hilariously untenable.

This really is an expression on the level of a religious belief. You're the one making the claim, you go prove it. And remember, the umpires did not find any change in the condition of the ball.

 

[CartyDurham]

You’d have had questions to answer

Exactly . I’ve fired back but I’m told to shut the f up

great morning that was, top notch batting. Horrendous catching and one quality ball to take a wicket

Australia on top

 

[Lefty]

I am. But it appears I’m not allowed to fire back

I mean “it’s mostly English posters trash talking”

that’s hilarious really

Your cleary biased. It is a waste of time trying to correct you. And you keep making the same points over and over. I’ll just ignore you in future.

 

[Adders]

Thank you. If they were, his ban would be imminent

We're all hoping yours is though mate
