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

No Australia will bat for a day and a half and lead by 500 if possible. No way England can bat for 3.5 sessions to save a test
No way Australia lead by 500 either unless playing for a draw, not enough time left

let’s be sensible

Time for someone to sit Brook down and deflate his ego.He was brilliant to start with but under Bazbal has deteriated to laughable.That is the worst 50 1 have seen by a top5 batsman.We throw away wickets galore and still the arrogance of stokes insists we are right.Did anyone see Boycotts reaction in the stands when Brook got out

I’m a fan of England. Those are his stats as it stands.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that

shame you have to ignore it though

I am allowed to support the opposition and those stats are facts
Haha it's an in joke about another member and a very old running gag, didn't actually have anything to do with you at all other than that I needed to find someone supporting Brook to pull it off.

His stats say otherwise though

he is a kid at the start of his career and will learn with experience

for such a terrible innings he still scored 50

give him time

I miss the days of a slow ball Yorker. It seems to have gone out of the game

I think it was Franklin Stephenson who had a great one and Cairns of New Zealand got rid of Chris reed with a gem at lords
I was thinking last week that the slower ball is underused in tests in general, and just as I was thinking it Stokes got Khawaja with one. It's not like they tend to go for runs when they don't work and knowing it's a possibility might mess with the batsman's timing. Cummins has bowled a few good cutters here.

Yeah sickening we could fall for same thing 3 times yesterday. Unfortunately Bairstow isn't Stokes at Headingley in 2019 with tail

I think it’ll become a thing if more sides start playing very aggressively

I’m definitely surprised it hasn’t been used to counter Bazball more often. ODI hack tactics for ODI hack batsmen.
