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

[Spark]

So many top edges have dropped short

 

[CartyDurham]

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

 

[Preed]

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

 

[Prince EWS]

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

calling BS a member is very generous when he was so vile

 

[Uppercut]

nice Yorker

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

Has there ever been a more brick footed batsman than Broad?

Perhaps I meant it in the phallic euphemism sense?

Bahnz never seen a brick footed batsman like Broad

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

 

[Socerer 01]

Bumrah got Marsh out with a beautiful slow inswinging yorker in the 1st time we won down under, was a glorious delivery to watch

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

 

[CartyDurham]

now that’s a slower yorker which totally bamboozled the batsman

 

[Son Of Coco]

**** yes!

 

[CartyDurham]

What a shot

so easy

 

[Bahnz]

Bairstlol

 

[OverratedSanity]

Holy **** the sheer levels of terribleness of these dismissals
