What is a Lords slope?

A gradient that runs across the ground from left to right...or vice-versa depending on which end you are viewing the game from...

If you look at the middle of the pitch you will see a sort of parabolic shape...where the vertex is at means that it is lower at that point compared to the arms... That's what I think. I have never been to the ground before. Those who have will give you a better answer than mine.

First slip should never have to go low left

Worst I’ve seen Paine keep. Having a bad day.

I can't see much coming from our last five so 250 could still be okay here.

Paine, Cummins, Siddle, Lyon, Hazlewood means 50-60 at most

 

[Burgey]

Why are they not also talking about Vaas?

Because he was a toiler

It’s a 300 deck. Been a good decision to bowl first in a four day test imo. Like they said, idea is to bowl them out today and only bat once. About the only way to win a four day test

Same toiler's got the same amount of wickets as Lillee.

Hard work does pay off

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Now double this one boys.

So Bairstow is playing the troll in the lower order

Bairstow looking better. Desperately needs a score here.

 

[Burgey]

I mean if the logic was “they’re ****, let’s shoot them out and finish this before tea tomorrow as a contest” then sure. I think if anything though the extravagant turn makes it even more contestable a decision, objectively.

I think the opposite

They want to bat once

Sorry, wasn't aware that Pews ranking of Lillee was the CW joke

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Put another man in front of the bat

remember everyone there is only one valid way to think about cricket. all other approaches are forbidden

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bairstow will take him on

 

[vcs]

Smith looks to have changed his action, looks more Kumble than Warne now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What was that?!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

We're having a look ****

 

[vcs]

That's a terribad review.
