2nd Test, Lord's, London

[Spark]

That's surely missing off stump by a fair bit?

 

[mr_mister]

Soak up time yew

Don't want an extra over to be bowled

 

[slippy888]

Australia are lucky they never had to bat 60 overs to save game you know

 

[King Pietersen]

Only missing by about 5 stumps, good review

 

[mr_mister]

Cummins can't hit much but he's got great concentration

 

[ajdude]

ahh travis, why didn't you take a ****ing single there? you could've ran 5 ffs

The game is saved chill have you got a big bet on draw

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

yeah but he's a good bloke with cheeky family friendly banter like "big swing no ding!"

"didn't know Kookaburra made fishing rods!"

Not sure Leach is going to take 4 in an over tbf

How different the game would have been had Roy caught that dolly. smh it's worth dropping for that alone.

Hmm, 4 wickets short, would’ve needed another hour I reckon.

haha cummo's got more blocks than legoland lol

 

[morgieb]

Well we saved it at least. Pretty dramatic Test. What a debut by Archer. Smith continues to be freakish and brave efforts from Marnus and Head.

 

[Bijed]

Great day and great test overall. A nice mix of top performances with some pretty rubbish ones

 

[Second Spitter]

Man of the Match:Jason Roy

 

[hazsa19]

So Woakes bowls 3 overs, he’s either injured or done something to really piss Root off.

 

[Spark]

"labuschagne top scorer on debut"

Think Root just thinks Archer is his bowling Bradman and he's not gonna hesitate to use him a lot

 

[NUFAN]

MoTM: Steve Labuschagne

 

[Compton]

How does Labuschagne's performance get reflected in his stats?

Presumably it would count as an additional match and additional innings?

yeah it does. i wonder how many people have not batted in the first innings and batted in the top four in the second innings
