2nd Test, Lord's, London

[GotSpin]

Brilliant catching and a good bowling plan well executed

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Interested to see the reaction time on that one...probably a jiffy...0.30 sec

 

[morgieb]

Wonderful catch. That kinda proves my point re: luck.

 

[Cabinet96]

Absolutely absurd catch.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Some catch that.

 

[Starfighter]

Before that happened I was going to post that Burns would so get clonked on a faster pitch, seems very awkward at a shoulder height ball.

 

[GotSpin]

Did Ian Healy just say shhhhh?

 

[Uppercut]

Love Burns getting out next ball after the commentator giving a speech about his ability to survive providing a measure of his mental strength and value as a human being. Was one step away from "if he gets out here he shouldn't be able to look his family in the eye".

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Get the length right Cummins

 

[Second Spitter]

I doubt this is a 600+ pitch.

Siddle has been really unlucky. Two drops now!

If TheJediBrah says it’s a 600 run pitch, it’s a 600 run pitch. Who are you to doubt TheJediBrah, brah?

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah, probably not the right approach to Stokes that.

I think the word Sanga used to summarized it was Attrition.

 

[King Pietersen]

That is an insane catch from Bancroft. Fair play.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Stokes coming in at #6 is damn aggro

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ball is not quite gripping for Lyon

 

[Starfighter]

The thing I've liked about Siddle's bowling is that he's swinging the ball, which is something we probably wouldn't get with Patto and Cummins in the same side. Hasn't bowled that well otherwise, dropped catches aside (funny how you can bowl poorly and still be desperately unlucky).

 

[vcs]

England staring down the barrel a bit in the series now.

 

[Starfighter]

Stokes coming in at #6 is damn aggro

Not really, it's his normal batting position.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is one weird knock from Buttler so far

 

[Cabinet96]

One of the incredible things about the Bancroft catch is how low he was to the ground when spilling it the first time. Usually when people catch it on the second attempt they've dropped it at chest height or whatever. He was already diving low.
