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

[Son Of Coco]

This has been really entertaining so far.

 

[ataraxia]

Well done.

 

[halba]

Johnny Cant Keep = Cant Bat Bairstow is out. This is the problem shoving a key batter into a keeping position, both become abject failures. he might as well be playing for the other team. Are they ever gonna play foakes??

 

[Croadymeister]

ASHES GONE

 

[Alex0paul]

Winviz can go **** itself

 

[Lefty]

So this is bazball - the English batters playing kamikaze shots and getting out cheaply.

I don’t understand how the English brainstrust thought it would work.

The big question is will the batters keep throwing their wickets away?

 

[Burgey]

Hahahahahaha

put the 52% winviz predictor up now you dickheads

 

[Jfry]

Cummins going to end with no wickets despite being the best bowler

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

The Lyon injury should have gifted England the Test.

Good sports of England to refuse the W under those circumstances.

 

[CartyDurham]

So it’s going to be around 90 or so the lead

Australia score at around 3.5 an over so looking at a lead of 450 plus

should win the game by around 3pm on Sunday

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Time for a declaration I reckon.

 

[slowfinger]

England just thrown away the Ashes. Need to hope for rain now.

 

[halba]

So it’s going to be around 90 or so the lead

Australia score at around 3.5 an over so looking at a lead of 450 plus

should win the game by around 3pm on Sunday

about 50-60 odd .broad can slog it.

 

[morgieb]

This is garbage batting.

 

[MW1304]

Can look at the passage from Pope and Duckett yesterday, but our senior players are the ones who have completely cacked it this game.

 

[Jfry]

Bairstow played a lot of those shots last summer

 

[Burgey]

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

They’re having moral victories though mate

 

[Woodster]

They just look terribly soft dismissals when this aggression doesn’t work! This is why I’m so conflicted on this style!

 

[slowfinger]

the question is, has Stokes got the balls enough to admit he ****ed up and make proper wholesale changes for the next test ??

 

[halba]

Starc 3 wickets. looks like he will be retained as he is a wicket taking bowler. Hazlewood has to go, Neser to replace for Headingley
