2nd Test, Lord's, London

[GotSpin]

Timmy’s keeping to the pace bowlers is quietly becoming concerning

Is this the most downhill skiing century ever made?

This doesn't even make the top half of downhill skiing centuries. Which is to say it's been a very good innings.

No

Gilchrist's hundred at Perth 06/07

This innings is nowhere near downhill skiing considering the situation he came to at the crease.

Pretty sure Rohit got some at home coming to the crease with a 300 run lead

There's a bit of downhill skiing, but England were what, 4/50 when he came in? So no.

 

[social]

This has been an awful test for Australia. Smith getting concussed and we've thrown away a commanding position. All that's left is a 48 ao loss.

England don’t have a top 4, keeper or spinner

We’re fine

 

[Woodster]

Meh

Batting practice

Batting practice for who ?

 

[trundler]

This isn't even downhill skiing

 

[Woodster]

Is this the most downhill skiing century ever made?

Absolutely not!

If Smith doesn't play we don't have two of those.

 

[Second Spitter]

Ali hasn't been scoring runs, either, Mikey.

Holding is a moron.

 

[GIMH]

When Stokes came to the crease last night I'm sure everyone thought wow there's some easy runs for him here

Either that or yet another moronic post from Stephen

Legit quality knock.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that had he got out cheaply last night (which, in fairness, he should have), then this game is over and the Ashes are almost certainly staying in Australia.

yeah i don't know what he's on about, lyon took wickets last match too so uh

 

[trundler]

Well played. Pretty unexpected.

 

[mr_mister]

I do enjoy watching the two gingers bat I must say

 

[morgieb]

This does feel like the sort of day where literally everything goes wrong for Australia. Personally I just hope we shut up shop from ball 1. I guess we could chase it down but it just seems so much less likely than getting rolled for 70 or whatever.
