2nd Test, Lord's, London

[Starfighter]

Ah, so they've finally figured out the field setting for Cummins.

 

[Spikey]

let it be known that at 11:20pm on the 17/08/2019, the worst ever Review was called

 

[Daemon]

what the genuine ****

 

[TheJediBrah]

How much better is this to watch than any white ball cricket?

 

[stephen]

Pretty sure that's Archer's last over this spell. He looks cooked.

 

[Starfighter]

96.1! This is getting like that Allan Donald spell to Atherton.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Worst review ever?

Beats any of the Watson/Broad disasters of the past.

 

[Spark]

This is legit MJ in 2013/14 atm

 

[Uppercut]

Did anyone else notice how much overextension there was in Archer's elbow when they were looking for the no-ball? I physically cringed.

Quite the opposite, he looks hungry now. May as well let him have a go and then put his feet up for the rest of the day and a bit of tomorrow.

i mean that's surely the only way he can bowl that fast with that run-up

 

[stephen]

Archer looks looked he could be a massive threat in Australia. Doesn't look anything like a debutant.

 

[ajdude]

interesting take this one

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Imagine Archer bowling this quick with a new ball?

 

[Spark]

interesting take this one

very erudite from Matty Jungster

not quite. MJ was also regularly pitching it up and swinging it as well.

 

[stephen]

Smith looks in a lot of pain. Absolutely disastrous for Australia if there's a fracture.

get them to sign up here

One thing we learned with peak Johnson is that when you bowl this quick, it doesn't actually matter how old the ball is

Yeah it makes sense but it looks almost demonic. The only bowler I've seen with that much is Akhtar.
