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

[halba]

this match is over. this guy is a six hitting machine. just have to say too good. the bowlers not good enough. time for Boland and Neser for test no.3.

 

[Saket1209]

And that’s the game.

if we come back to win it’s a miracle.

They are out of ideas

 

[TheBrand]

lol they did something similar against de Grandhomme last year didnt they

Slightly different scenario though, appealing for the LBW and CDG took off for a run stupidly and was run out by the time he got back.

My first reaction was what the **** have you done Jonny. No thought at all to the Aussies.

All that failing to withdraw the appeal has done has turned Ben into hero mode and broken Lord's in the process.

They'd have won already if they'd withdrawn the appeal I reckon.

This this this.

it’s the dictionary definition of being careful for what you wish for.

 

[social]

Here’s an idea

Let’s bowl short

 

[Socerer 01]

Stokes should be knighted if he gets this done what a ****ing gem

 

[Spark]

this is bad bowling even in t20

Yeah total slot ball

 

[kevinw]

Bowls a good yorker for nothing, so why not bowl hit me balls halfway down as a follow up?

Don't think they should have mind. Well within their rights.

Agreed. I’m just happy seeing England play with a bit of fight

needs the Burgey **** around findout chart

 

[artvandalay]

Not seen this incident but was it similar to the one v India a few years back when india ran out bell but then withdrew the appeal ?

I think it's closer to the way Imam ul haq I think was stumped by SL recently than any Mankading dismissal.

They’d have won if they didn’t drop catches

 

[morgieb]

This side deserves everything it gets. It’s a choke so big even South Africa would blush.

 

[Saket1209]

Stokes should be knighted if he gets this done what a ****ing gem

If he was an indian he would be a god

Genius.

Head should come on and bowl some long hops IMO.

 

[ashley bach]

Are we about to witness the greatest double century of all time?

 

[Coronis]

lol just watched that Bairstow replay why you guys all whinging?

 

[Prince EWS]

If he was an indian he would be a god

What if he was West Indian?

 

[Gnske]

When Bairstow got out so many of you doubted Stokes could get it done

How could any of you under estimate the stupidity of an Australian bowling attack?

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

Is he related to Alan B’Stard?

I love The New Statesmen. Shame it never gets repeated, but it rattled too many people I expect!
