2nd Test, Lord's, London

[morgieb]

Labuschagne will bat 4 surely

Sky scorecard confirmed he was batting 4 yeah? At the very least he has to as Head and Wade are simply not Top 4 batsmen at this level.

 

[Second Spitter]

Bancroft looks like a candidate to get bowled around his pads, among several other deficiencies.

 

[trundler]

Bancroft is the new Geoff Boycott with his defence

Seriously, mate? How do you come with such daft **** with such consistency? Are you even watching the game?

 

[social]

Australia selectors are brave to pick 3 men from a scandal into team

Langer

Smith took the fall

Warner has a guilty conscience

Bancroft was about to be dropped

Only one should be in the team

 

[aussie tragic]

Labuschagne will bat 4 surely

Paine stated a month ago he didn't know what he'd do if a substitute was used

 

[mr_mister]

Gulp

 

[morgieb]

Oh god. This is going to be one of those days, yeah?

If we manage to lose this Test it's going to be hard to stop England winning at least two more.

Khawaja was the best Australian batsman for a year. Let that sink in. How woeful.

 

[slippy888]

Selectors are asking for trouble only smith should have come back really

 

[fredfertang]

Aussie posters' frenetic Gambhiring completely ineffective so far I'm pleased to see

 

[slippy888]

Archer should not roll through any half decent mentally batting lineup

 

[GotSpin]

Khawaja is just so soft

Hmm so it seems my post about downhill skiing was misunderstood.

I meant after all the letoffs yesterday it was a very lucky hundred, more than a piling in the runs in no pressure hundred.

I guess watching Smith score runs recently has spoiled me for how difficult runs should be to get.

 

[mr_mister]

Reports in that Smith was stopped at the entrance to the Australian dressing room wearing a Groucho marx disguise carrying his bat and gloves

 

[MW1304]

I rate Labuschagne, think he'll do alright here.

 

[slippy888]

England 11/4 odds the draw 2/7 lol

 

[trundler]

I have faith in Marnus

 

[ajdude]

the concussion sub to be subbed out? ****

man we're mentally shot. 4-1 loss coming up

 

[Second Spitter]

Ussie asking the non-striker if he hit it.
