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

[Burgey]

400 / 8


61 more on day 2 since 3.30 pm IST

Extra 38 runs why Aus need extra batsman with Caliber of Gary Gilmore or Andrew Symonds?

I did not expect a Gus Gilmour reference. Kudos!

lol have that, Robinson. That’s belted

Some excellent commentary from Nasser re. Smith's retirement speculation

"What else is he going to do??"

I've been saying the same myself for years. Going to sound harsh but I imagine Steve Smith would be as close to a useless human as you can get if not for playing cricket

Maybe become a Cricket Administrator or something.

 

[Spark]

Lmao. Great passage of play all round.

 

[Starfighter]

Robinson will pick up the last two and the more brain dead of our English brethren (ie the recent additions) will say he bowled well and took more wickets than Broad and Anderson

Good looking call so far

 

[Burgey]

From memory Bradman played a test series in India in 1947/48.

Nah he played one vs them at home that year

need some social skills for that

If Australia get 450 then the best England can hope for is a draw

 

[Coronis]

Off to the golf today

money involved

what a shot by Lyon there, great pull , a lot of Australians like a great pull, as can be seen on this thread

but he goes. Good night

Its Carty’s first good night of the day, odds on another post?

 

[social]

Just reward for Ollie Robinson is quite the reach

*fewer

Should be easy enough to remember: you should post less often and make fewer posts. Easy.

Thanks. Sorry for posting 682 to 431

if only you could understand maths. That’s 251 fewer.

that’s a decent career for someone behind

127 km/h

About the quickest he's bowled all morning.

He got one down at 131 earlier.

Probably chucked it.

lol yeah his professional judgement is great . . .

 

[slowfinger]

Robinson a good bowler this bloke... deserves thoroughly his 2 fer

No that’s true this time. Things change it’s allowed but this time Golf is the destination

what time can I comeback?

 

[TimAngas]

There was a depressing number of dibby-dobbers doing big numbers back in that time. Lot of bowlers that got utterly exposed when the pitches started to get better.

One of the most dramatic was Gurinder Sandhu taking poles at historically good numbers in his first few seasons, so much so he got picked in some JamODIs for Australia. Has looked completely innocuous since.

 

[Lefty]

Smith has scored 9079 runs at 59.73 with 32 hundreds and 37 fifties. He will be remembered as one of the greats of the game. And some people still want to criticise his playing ability.

 

[Spark]

Ah, Hazlewood. A decade playing at the top level and he still doesn't get in line

 

[Starfighter]

lol yeah his professional judgement is great . . .

TBH that level of ethics would fit in many places today
