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

[GIMH]

Aw no

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha what a ****ing start.

 

[Flem274*]

thats a beauty

 

[Spikey]

gonna laugh pretty hard if that wasted 4 overs costs them

 

[Aritro]

No point in declaring, you're not getting ten wickets today no matter what happens

So as I was saying, it was a timely declaration and ten wickets today is a very real possibility.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Fcukin weather's gonna save England isn't it? Should have been 2-0 up by rights.

Tbf Kohli hasn't given Eng openers the time to settle down (with the timing of declaration) which might have resulted in these early wickets.

Not saying you're wrong, just that you can't prove it. England (and Wales) might have started even worse if he declared at lunch, and there would be an extra 4 overs.

Wasn't there already a stat going about after the last Test that England had set a new record for top order ducks in a calendar year? The new record that they're setting could stand for decades.


Unless England break it themselves next year I guess.

I mean you gotta find a way to get Root out first regardless.

Plenty of time left here anyway, anyway it was the English weather that gave you your only series win over here in recent memory so stop your bitching

 

[Spark]

Rohit you silly billy

 

[StephenZA]

At least it was not Root...

 

[Uppercut]

I thought Rohit had caught that. Was wondering why Hameed was in such a rush to get back to the pavillion.

Did you really think that India would have chased 209?

 

[Flem274*]

shami looks a million dollars

i don't know what has changed with ground audio since covid but the mics picking up everything some random in the crowd is saying at the same volume as the commentators is really annoying, even if it did give us the 'ruined my experience' meme

 

[andruid]

So much for a long tail huh?

 

[Uppercut]

It's the inverse of Agarkar's Law. If you pick your bowlers with no regard whatsoever for their batting they will always score runs.

 

[Aritro]

A sikh chap in the Member's in a bacon and egg turban! Fantastic.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Extras scoring at a decent rate already, keeping England in the chase...
