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

[Burgey]

I see becoming an elite umpire is still easy

We have long been informed that accurate decision making is not a prerequisite to being a good umpire

 

[social]

That’s a fair shot

 

[Burgey]

I get the feeling Starc's batting will be more useful than his bowling this game

Not confident about him against the new ball tbh but that’s a heck of a start

 

[Starfighter]

It doesn't help that most of the best are English or Australian.

In fairness maybe they thought it hit the front leg? Would've been going over if so.

The trajectory of the ball is independent of which leg it hits.

Atherton talking balderdash here

 

[MW1304]

We're going to be out for sub-200 here. Cummins and Hazlewood will roll us in these conditions.

Already said it but it bears repeating, Boland would have destroyed on this deck

Not certain it will matter tbh mate.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

confirm with Rajesh

589 wkts Broad

what a bowler!

 

[Burgey]

That Carey dismissal decked up the hill a long way. still plenty going on. Very well deserved wicket for Broad

 

[Shady Slim]

almost certain that ball which got carey hit the stumps on its way through

Insane selection. Starc might have been handier on the previous pitch too.

Australia want to be careful they don't do what they did against Sri Lanka last year and let the 1st innings fall away with Smith stranded after a big ton.

Boland in Aus for BBL

 

[chris.hinton]

nice early wicket. But Aussies getting on with it. Lets keep Steve Smith on 97 not out lol

Yeah Starc should've played at Birmingham and Boland here. Instead they let Starc bowling pies in the WTC final spook them, similarly with Boland getting attacked on a flattie.

Well we don't exactly have a lot of batting left. Losing Green for nought was a big blow, especially as it was a shocking shot.
