*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[Jnr.]

When was the last time a team won the Ashes after losing the second Test?

 

[GIMH]

Aussies should be tested with some REAL English conditions. Like the one India had to tolerate last year in Manchester when they were 8/4 at one time.

Anyways, a very good cricket match at Lord's!

The gods decide those sorts of conditions

 

[King Pietersen]

honestly expect it to be 4-1 now. hope i'm wrong though.

Drop Bell, Lyth, Ballance and Buttler. All honestly look out of their depth

What's Morgan doing these days? lol or Owais Shah or someone. ANYONE


I also wish Australia batted a bit longer now, Clarke and Marsh deserved tons

Drop Buttler and pick Owais Shah. ****ing glad you're not an England selector. Clueless.

Well you want to bring back KP so you can talk.

 

[fredfertang]

I'd feel a lot happier if MJ didn't come across as being such a decent bloke when he's interviewed - he clearly is a ****, so why can't he behave like one?

 

[King Pietersen]

Well you want to bring back KP so you can talk.

Yeah; cause I was definitely being serious.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Awesome from Australia.

 

[BeeGee]

England's recent record in tests following a victory isn't great. Against both the WI and NZ, victories were followed by heavy defeats.

The pattern continues.

An old fashioned ass whuppin'.

 

[burr]

if shane warns says 'boss the game' one more time...

on the other hand, punter's been an awesome addition to commentary.

well done aussies. so good to watch good fast bowling.

think england will make some changes and come out hard next test. can't wait!

Ian Botham has osteoporosis and a liver problem.

 

[Spark]

If MMarsh can continue to improve his bowling he's going to be such an asset. Ought to be able to constant consistent extra bounce with his height and action

 

[Gob]

No way should Nevill be replaced. Keep the same team although i'd think of swapping Voges and Clarke around.

Good enough to take the new ball for several countries. Bowls a heavy ball

 

[OverratedSanity]

So, the combined total for the test is : Australia 820/10 and England 415/20

So, Aus got twice as many runs as England for half the wiickets lost. That's a mighty hammering.

 

[GotSpin]

Oh boy. How would you be England...deary me. What a turn around

 

[FBU]

Well done Australia!!!!!

Job done in 37 overs.
Marsh's bowling average in the match 10.33

 

[Gob]

Smitteh back to the top with 936 points number 10 in the all time list. Interesting to note that he accumulated 35 points from this game and another performance like this and he could be passing Bradman's 961

 

[harsh.ag]

TPC > Don would be the greatest thing. To happen. Ever. Anywhere. In the universe. In all universes.

Seriously though, this scorecard looks like something from the 2000s.. I thought those days were over..

Steve Smith first Aussie to get an Ashes 200 and 50 in the same Test since... the Don.

 

[Hurricane]

I guess at a minimum until someone can figure out how to combat him walking across his stumps you would have to bank on him being the next triple.
