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

[slowfinger]

It's 195/1 is what is

it's England geriatric cricket is what it is

 

[Spark]

It's interesting Jarrod Kimber called this as oz' tactics after tea, and he's been right, we just don't seem to know what to do about it.

Oh yeah it's certainly an improvement over what they were doing before, and it has gotten a wicket (should have gotten two). But it looks hideous.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That 4 byes off Green has to be the harshest call against a keeper ever. Never in a million years is that byes.

 

[Spark]

Is that not a back foot no ball?

 

[trundler]

Root has been really bad at scoring wanker runs since Bazball started. Do better ****

 

[sledger]

Green looks a bit like one of those young blokes who works as a builder's apprentice who is constantly getting chewed out for showing up late to the building site.

 

[slowfinger]

200-2 off 40 overs

this is Bazzball!

 

[Spark]

Hazlewood's short balls look so slow

 

[slowfinger]

that win predictor is so woefully inaccurate it's farcical

 

[RightArmMystery]

This is ****ing dire cricket to watch

 

[kevinw]

that win predictor is so woefully inaccurate it's farcical

No idea what it's showing but they're not favourites until they're 300-3 and even then they're going to bat last.

 

[Gob]

that win predictor is so woefully inaccurate it's farcical

Does it take Lyon's injury in to account? If so it's fair

 

[loterry1994]

Man both captains haven’t done well when it comes to bowling tactics

 

[sledger]

No idea what it's showing but they're not favourites until they're 300-3 and even then they're going to bat last.

Not if they win by an innings.

 

[kevinw]

Didn't Ishant Sharma bowl England out once? When I say bowled out I mean they hooked every wicket to fine leg. I couldn't believe they let Wagner sucker them in NZ.

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Morrison is better on comms than Anderson, more multi-faceted hence he takes the win

Anderson is a shy man from oop north. He mainly lets his bowling does the talking. However, his confidence has grown over the years with the England team. And I imagine he lets his hair down on nights out,

 

[loterry1994]

God help us when smith and marnus come to bowl

 

[trundler]

I repent for casting aspersions on England's tactics at the end of yesterday. Should've known better than to judge Bazball by standards of regular cricket. Somehow England are in control after sending the opposition in to bat and pissing away perfect bowling conditions.

 

[sledger]

Richard no doubt sat in a chair somewhere right now freaking out about Duckett's FCA

Haha he would definitely hate Duckett
