*Official* Second Test at Lord's - Aug 12-16 2021

[Furball]

They know that. Its retribution for the spell to anderson.

Seems dumb when you need to bat last.

 

[Furball]

What does bhenchod mean, I assume it's related to forumer benchmark00.

Sister ****er.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Seems like you wouldn't want to get a strike bowler fired up before the final innings but who knows

 

[Shri]

i wasn't complaining/asking anyone to bowl slow unlike you

-bumrah

 

[anil1405]

So when do you guys think India have enough to declare?

Lunch at the very least but doubt if anyone is expecting the Indian tail to last anywhere close to an hour.

 

[Arachnodouche]

I dont like the macho nonsense tbh. Call me a ***** but excessive bouncers to tailenders aint cool. Not when the aussies did it to natarjan, not when bumrah did it to anderson and not here.

Spicy viewing though undoubtedly, until someone breaks a hand.

True. But you take it if for whatever reason the opposition dishes it out and then do what needs to be done when you get your chance. Anderson complaining after the fact makes him look like a brat.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Joke field placings. Root has always been an iffy captain but this is pitiful.

 

[Nintendo]

Why the **** has root got all the men on the fence he's just feeding the indian tail singles, this is just embarassing.

 

[Shri]

if we bat another 8 overs and add 11 runs, england will need 210 in 70 overs at 3 runs an over

all 3 results possible

 

[karan_fromthestands]

LOL, battle of the tail lenders. Not going to end well for all the individuals involved, both sides have bowlers who can bowl some very nasty stuff.

 

[cnerd123]

Ishant, Shami and Bumrah have all exceeded expectations so far by making it into double digits

[Burgey]

Always love it when Holding, Ambrose or Bishop are on comms and say quicks are bowling too short. A little bit of irony dies a quiet death.

 

[OverratedSanity]

The bowling to the tail has been really really dumb. Wouldnt have managed 10 runs between them if England had just pitched it up.

 

[Burgey]

They know that. Its retribution for the spell to anderson.

Yeah but they haven’t got two days left. It’s potentially costing them the fame.

You wouldn't see Holding or Ambrose bowling this rubbish at 9,10,11.

 

[cnerd123]

200!

game on

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

It's possible you don't need to bowl the intimidatory short stuff at someone whose batting average is less than 4.

-bumrah

Good for him.

Geoff Lawson begs to differ

Lol who had two thumping straight drives from Jasprit Bumrah breaking the stumps on their bingo card?
