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

[shortpitched713]

So for all the talk of Tongue, its finally Root that beat Head and got Green.

A good Root always beats a Tongue for Head.

That's what she said anyway.

 

[Spark]

England definitely still in the game here. Starc makes that tail more dangerous though (only just found out he was playing)

Yeah just about. Aus are probably a fair way above a par score already though, at least that's the fear from an England pov

 

[CartyDurham]

Can we sneak another one , when I’m not watching ?

haway

 

[Niall]

I doubt he’ll be touring again. Sure he’ll retire this summer.

Yeah I wouldn't be shocked if he had half an eye on Strictly for Xmas, housewives absolutely love him and its still pretty relevant.

It might be more alluring than another test tour abroad and tbf at 40 who could blame him?

 

[Shri]

Averages 29 there which is pretty good for the conditions for a bowler like him, no?

if he were a bowler who did not leave the field for a shower after every 3 overs sure

 

[CartyDurham]

Yeah just about. Aus are probably a fair way above a par score already though, at least that's the fear from an England pov

Thought Aussies were well on for 500 plus and game over but England have a glimmer of a chance if it’s around 400 all out

After that dismissal, Green will never play an attacking shot in his first 30 deliveries of an innings ever again.

I watch that show. Makes me laugh

 

[Spark]

After that dismissal, Green will never play an attacking shot in his first 30 deliveries of an innings ever again.

The ball was honestly there to be hit. But he chose totally the wrong shot, so I hope that's not his takeaway.

SPOOKED

after Anderson’s small spell in Chennai that won a test for them during covid i dont badmouth him anymore for his record in India

 

[Saket1209]

Shami is incredibly good in India what are you on about?

Yeah but no match winning perfomance apart from the one against SA. His average is soo good because he has to bowl a lot less

 

[Spark]

Wasn't he really good in 2013 (I think) too? More as a support bowler ofc.

 

[CartyDurham]

Anything happening?

the Mrs has the remote and the cricket is now off

 

[Anil]

That was pretty poor from Green...

 

[honestbharani]

housewives absolutely love him

coz he is always somehow grumpier than them?

 

[Aidan11]

Gone a bit quiet again.

 

[ashley bach]

Averages 29 there which is pretty good for the conditions for a bowler like him, no?

Yeah but he's no spring chicken anymore. I'm not knocking him here, just being realistic.

 

[Saket1209]

His has performed average in India apart from 2-3 games

Seen the dismissals now

head fell for the old throw it out wide and stumped

As for green, that was horrendous
