*Official* Second Test at Lords

[Burgey]

Okay, it's crap. We're crap. We'll never bowl them out for under 400. We're going to get thrashed. Australia are going to win the Ashes 5-0. Then we're going to lose the next Ashes 5-0. In fact, unless you're optimistic we're never going to win an Ashes test ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you're getting it!

400 up.

First time at Lord's against Aus since 1975 if cricinfo are to be believed.

 

[Craig]

26 run partnership up.

 

[stumpski]

Last six batsmen out scored 32, 16, 8, 4, 4 and 16.

So these two should score 16 and 32 ideally.

-400 in some of the best batting conditions you could wish for is abysmal, same way 130ao in serious seam-friendly conditions is abysmal.

Especially when you 8 and 9 are good batsmen and you could nearly call Anderson capable. If he keeps working on his batting he could move up the order when the opportunity arises.

Anyway, your past 400 now.

If Jimmy and Onions can bat looking almost completely unthreatened, really doenst bode well for when Katich and Ponting get on this wicket.

 

[TT Boy]

These two making the wicket look flatish.

 

[Craig]

Go Onions.

My sentiments exactly I. I do believe we are utterly buggered.

Rain has stopped play at Guildford by the way, it could be here soon ...

Hahahahahaha, these strange things do happen from time to time.

Your'e assuming Ponting will get a knock in the forseeable future.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Onions been watching too much of Cook's pull shot, methinks.

Yup, moreorless my thoughts exactly.

Played it more like Strauss tbf, pulled from outside off stump.

 

[Jakester1288]

Hope, when we get the last wicket, Hussey and Hughes both ton up. Obviously, I want everyone who get to bat to ton up, but I like Hussey and want him to retain his spot, and Hughes, because every Aussie loves Hughes, plus he lived not far from me before he moved to the big smoke.

 

[JBH001]

Poor luck for Hilfenhaus - deserves a 5 fer.

Still waiting for that full straight one from Mitch.

Edit/ Shot, Jimmy! Haha!

 

[Craig]

What a shot by Jimmeh.

 

[Pizzorno]

Who cares about Freddie, our Jim's the premier all rounder in the team anyway!

Hopefully we're ao by then and haven't got out there in Australia's innings to get the ball damp.

Anderson in full flow here.
