*Official* Second Test at Lords

[JBH001]

Ha, there it was, but down leg for 4!

Bouncer next up, I reckon.

Edit/ Not short enough.

 

[duffer]

Holding is such an overrated commentator now. Rapid decline from him.

 

[Craig]

The rest of England's battining line-up should be angry that Jimmeh and Onions can score easily.

I'm starting to enjoy Shane Warne now. I didn't rate him when he was commentating and still in the Australian team, but he is good to listen too.

12 runs off the over.

 

[tooextracool]

Could someone please explain to me the point of bowling short on this pitch? Other than to protect Johnson from being carted all over the park by messrs 10 and 11.

 

[JBH001]

LOL! Anderson is taking Mitch apart. Reckon Siddle returns from that end if Hilfenhaus doesnt finish it off.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Get Michael Clarke on, done the job against Anderson last time.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Was going to say, reckon it's time for some spin (specifically North) to try and lure a straight shot out of the tailenders.

 

[The Sean]

Is Mitch bowling as poorly as it sounds/reads like he is?

 

[Burgey]

These two making the wicket look flatish.

Mainly because it is.

Yep especially to Anderson who got out trying to slog Hauritz out of the ground last time.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, bowling to get wickets rather than building some pressure up on the lower order batsmen.

 

[Pizzorno]

Is Mitch bowling as poorly as it sounds/reads like he is?

He's bowling worse than Stuart Broad. If you can believe that.

 

[tooextracool]

Is Mitch bowling as poorly as it sounds/reads like he is?

Believe it or not, hes actually bowling worse

 

[JBH001]

Is Mitch bowling as poorly as it sounds/reads like he is?

Yeah, mate. Some real rubbish.

 

[Adamc]

Haha, Warne advocating a three strikes and out rule for tailenders. Clearly not enjoying this.

Anderson now topping the England batting averages.

 

[wpdavid]

If these two can manage another 5 runs, it's the 2nd highest partnership of the innings.

EDIT
And there we are. Apparently it's the highest 10th wicket partnership by Engaldn against Aus at Lord's.

And Jimmy's gone.

 

[JBH001]

Mitch stays on. A little unexpected, imo.

 

[tooextracool]

Australia down to 2 frontline bowlers at the moment, its a good thing that we have our 2 best batsmen taking advantage of it.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Geez, if your not gonna get them out then knock 'em out. Anderson's been hit the head in the couple of times before, so pitch it shorter,
