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

At least he retires with more test wickets than any Australian seamer

I thought Fuller gave you a good example when he pointed out Stephen Fleming has more test runs than Don Bradman.

This mornings Smith attitude seems much calmer then last night Smith attitude. He'll get out now to something silly, but if he doesn't, England will still be bowling at 4pm.

It feels like one of those days when he knows he's too good for England's bowlers, the bowlers know it too, and he knows that they know it. Mind you, you could say the same about Khawaja right now, so things aren't looking too rosy.

EDIT
I'll take those, thank you very much folks.

 

[Burgey]

It's also cocaine imo

Mate of mine did a massive line of speed ahead of an A grade semi final one year against the heavily favoured minor premiers who had an awesome pace attack. He came in at 3/25 and made 138 off 75, including a straight six off their leg spinner which went over an adjacent factory, into the next street and was fetched by someone in their car.

we won by a dozen runs. He took five fer on the Sunday too

Love him in Endeavour. Great actor , think I will download an endeavour as this game is basically waiting for Australia to declare now

England don’t have a clue how to take a wicket here

I used to live in a country where there weren’t any copyright laws and used an illegal streaming service (Pirate Bay?) to download classic British detective series

Have hundreds of episodes of Morse, Bergerac, Midsomer Murders, Lovejoy

Poms do that better than anyone

 

[Alex0paul]

Bloody fool

 

[mackembhoy]

This is crap to watch

Yep Ben is a massive hypocrite. Negative as cricket gets.

 

[CartyDurham]

I don’t believe it A wicket

278. As nobody will have a guess , I will , I think Australia need 425 and all day tomorrow to bowl England out

These time wasting and slow scoring tactics is trying to delay that as long as possible

 

[Spark]

Want another 180 here.

 

[GotSpin]

Let’s get arse eater Travis into this

 

[TheJediBrah]

Looking real dark out there, can't be comfortable facing short stuff right now

 

[TimAngas]

Interesting to see if Head goes all-out assault to start with.

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

I claim that wicket. I’d just been out to the kitchen getting a coffee.

 

[Spark]

Interesting to see if Head goes all-out assault to start with.

He doesn't start well against this.

 

[ripper868]

So, Hopefully a quick 60 from head, 40 from the rest, declare 30 mins before tea, 3 wickets pre tea, refunds for day 5 ticket holders.

I have whole sets of Morse and midsomer murders. They take up a lot of space

Have you tried The Sweeney and Minder ?

 

[GotSpin]

I think that may have been what they brought in, you may be right though. He was such a prodigy, I remember him playing Shield at about 16 or 17 and Ian Chappell basically calling for him to get brought into the national set up straight away

Yeah he talks about it in his autobiography. They definitely changed the rules because of him though

Uzi short ball average drops to 140
