*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[fredfertang]

Wish I'd shut up now - clearly put the Indian sign on him

 

[Burgey]

Marsh has bowled with very good control so far. Been impressive

Edit: cue leg stump half volley clipped for four

 

[91Jmay]

Jos or Moeen needs a ton I think. Top order put us in another hole, not sure what options we have though. Hales would be a real statement of new ethos but I would be surprised if he worked out in tests

 

[Johnners]

ouch.

 

[Compton]

Owch.

 

[Spark]

man that'll be ringing in his bones for a while

man that must hurt

"we are known for our originality" etc

Cook got physio on just to make this the last over before lunch. Take your time skipper.

 

[Burgey]

Healy diagnosing Cook as having crepitus in his bones. My understanding that's actually where the bone dies, which would be an unusual condition for someone healthy and robust enough to play international cricket.

Should have kept the medic on longer, will get another over in now. Stupid boy.

Even taking into account he is a) a wicket keeper and b)Australian Healy is incredibly dense.

Where as Healy suffers from crapitus of the mouth.

Plus I'd be loathe to drop Lyth after four tests, or Ballance based on his last few. We probably need to stick with these guys if we're going to get anwhere.
Our number four is another matter, even if meant Root moving up a place and bringing in a newcomer at 5.

The pitch is contagious

Ballance has a terrible technique and it's a mystery how he has been able to score runs at fc level let alone tests

Lucky to get this test and will be a pub quiz question on a few years IMO

First session we can claim to have won, need to win the next two though as well.

 

[Flem274*]

botham trying to anti-jinx as marsh was running in to deliver the wicket ball was so good

Oz bowled bell and simply need to keep chipping away

Cook is largely irrelevant as he doesn't score quickly enough so pressure is all at other end

 

[Gob]

Hate it that Engurland has a batsman at 8.
