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

[trundler]

Hollow victory because of the cheating but at least this will be over quickly now I guess

 

[Spark]

That’s a bit soft after seeing Broad get hit about a dozen times

Broad wasn't exactly scoring any runs getting hit a dozen times.

 

[GIMH]

Be pretty funny if this ends up with Aus winning by a semi-comfortable 50 runs or so.

Seems likely

channel 9 just played the same ad 3 times in a row

 

[Shri]

seriously tho what a ****ing knock from stokes. so so good as a cricketer.

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

What do you call it when a player blunders within striking distance of victory?

Only if he continued to bat heroically would that happen anyway, and this is anyway a situation that could be termed anyway near "striking distance of victory" due to his own heroic effort.

 

[Calm_profit]

I literally thought it was Headingley 2.0.

 

[Coronis]

see Smith just dropped that other catch for the cinema

See Australia is all about the entertainment but we win too.

 

[social]

Nice of you to ensure Shri wouldn’t be the worst poster in the thread

There’s still time

 

[stephen]

He scored 155 .

the one thing that shows is not a choke for crying out loud

idiotic comment

Left runs on the table.

 

[Spark]

Seems likely

Scoreboard merchants in CC in 10 years to go "lmao at people thinking this was ever a close game"

 

[morgieb]

Well this game took an unexpected turn.

what an innings from Stokes though

 

[Bahnz]

To be fair, it's all you Kiwis have got left, wanting other teams to win/lose.

Still hurting over our World Cup final win* are we

FTFY

 

[Darwin Award]

... And another pretty much right away after Stokes departs..

If there was any doubt before,there isn't any now.

 

[Socerer 01]

Then why to drop starc who got 5 wickets in this game. And yeah if

your mistake was taking halba seriously

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m away now.

Been a fun test eventually

well played Australia for getting another win but at least England showed fight and had a few twitching on here

please don’t tag or quote me and expect a reply quickly as I’m offline now

 

[Spark]

Well this game took an unexpected turn.

what an innings from Stokes though

Is it though? This could have happened like three times an hour ago and after that, there's a reason we didn't rate this tail.

 

[Burgey]

To be fair, it's all you Kiwis have got left, wanting other teams to win/lose.

Still hurting over our World Cup final* win are we

*you didn’t win the final

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

History will prove Carey right btw

He was right to cheat? How so, because they won? Is that really how low they are?
