2nd Test, Lord's, London

Bancroft has not inspired since he been given his first cap maybe mitch marsh or stonis is better test match batting option.

lol

 

[Lillian Thomson]

If the sub gets into bat he will get booed.

 

[GotSpin]

Bancroft typical 4 off 40 balls will just not do here

It'd be useful though

Of course it would, this is just about batting time.

Who the sub

 

[mr_mister]

Intent time

 

[morgieb]

Yikes, only 5 balls and we've had two balls that could easily have hit the stumps.

They had an opener who scored 180 in his last dig, averages over 40 in test cricket and got dropped for no apparent reason.

It's nearly the same asking rate as amazing Adelaide. Let's go for it!

Much worse batting lineup though.

 

[slippy888]

If Aussies 120-2 after 30 overs they will have ago for the win.

Lyon wasn’t great but he had Stokes out and Warner dropped plenty off him

Could easily have finished with 5

 

[GotSpin]

Warner needs to lock it up. He's going to get castled again

Decent sized 'if'

 

[Second Spitter]

Bancroft is the epitome of fundamental flaw in technique.

 

[trundler]

Lahiru Kumara has a better bankside than Archer and is therefore a better fast bowler

 

[GotSpin]

Bancroft likes to get squared up doesnt he

 

[slippy888]

I don't think Aussies shut up shop straight away they will have a look to access if target is possible, steve Waugh always believed 4 runs an over is a must for test cricket and he the current coach.

 

[morgieb]

Warner looks really really awful here.

 

[slippy888]

I think Aussies need to pick someone like Handscombe he looks a more natural gifted player
