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

[CartyDurham]

I think Ben has his eye in

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

Oh so that's all okay then.

As OK as Carey doing what he did "because Baz did it once".

 

[Spark]

Brain dead. They’ve enough runs still that if he hits a four it’s worth the shot at Broad

Especially because the planned ball was right at leg stump. Let him swing at that!

 

[Saket1209]

They are bowling like its a T20 match .

 

[Socerer 01]

They are bowling like its a T20 match .

they bowl more aggressively in t20 than this because you can’t make everyone field on boundary

 

[Adorable Asshole]

This Ashes has seen some ****ty fielding.

 

[CartyDurham]

73 needed

that was a great year in the 1970s for me

 

[Spark]

As OK as Carey doing what he did "because Baz did it once".

This is a ****ing terrible analogy.

Point

 

[Daemon]

Denying the singles is the right thing to do imo. Broad would’ve been out a few times by now if he played more than a ball or two every over.

Especially if Australia are offering run scoring opportunities otherwise, it’s the way to go.

 

[Burgey]

Point

One apparently worth repeating

 

[Socerer 01]

As OK as Carey doing what he did "because Baz did it once".

a dismissal that is morally dubious but perfectly legal is equivalent to verbal and physical misconduct, ok

i’ve seen it all

 

[CartyDurham]

Draw 0%

Might have 10p on that , could be a tie

 

[halba]

so the best counter puncher ever in the history of the game now- previously was Gilchrist.

Sampath Bandarupalli: Ben Stokes - first to score 150 while batting at No.6 and lower in the fourth-innings. Previous highest was 149* by Adam Gilchrist against Pakistan in 1999 Hobart.

 

[Uppercut]

Broad playing a flinch shot to a short wide long hop.

 

[Ashes81]

The Aussies have brought this on themselves with the Bairstow dismissal. Whether it's right or wrong, it's completely changed the game in our favour.

It charged the crowd up and Stokes and Broad.

You havent seen me demolish a plate of roast beef and veg mind

 

[Saket1209]

Now this is Eng game to lose. If they don't dismiss stokes they are done.

A tie and a draw are different, so they wouldn't pay you.

 

[Uppercut]

Lol Stokes turning down easy 2s now.
