*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[MW1304]

Reliant on Jimmy and his 0 wickets we are.

 

[Burgey]

Clark to go and yell at Watson for taking away his right as captain to waste a review.

Heh

 

[dermo]

BBC comms just linked everything back to Watson

 

[Black_Warrior]

Ok this is just shocking cricket.. 91/6 is something I take as a foregone conclusion from the Pakistan team but Australia? Just last summer they were blasting the South African attack to all parts of the park..what happened? It was pretty much the same batting line up.

 

[Expressway76]

Bumble was going on and on about this being a must score 450+ pitch. If we were playing the Aussie team of even a few years ago it would be.

They can't play swing or spin

Had a friend say to me this is a bowling pitch, I tried to tell him it was just good bowlers against bad batsmen but he wouldn't listen

 

[dermo]

Harris to ton up imo

 

[Spark]

Just beyond pathetic, utterly abject. Think I might go to bed tbh

 

[The Battlers Prince]

things I want to say, Backlash would probably be proud, but ****

 

[outbreak]

Love the doors closed with watto outside

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Rob Quiney for number 3?

 

[Spark]

There's been little of either today

 

[Son Of Coco]

That's what pressure does. He knew he couldn't survive defending so had to try and hit Swann out of the attack.

I feel its inevitable Clarke gets a score, just hope we can roll the other end out for 250 ish.

He puts most of the pressure on himself by being incapable of rotating the strike no matter who the bowler is.

 

[MW1304]

Only just realised we haven't even had tea yet.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Lol at the doors closed and Watson on his own on the balcony.

 

[Prince EWS]

It was pretty much the same batting line up.

It really wasn't. The only survivors from the batting lineup in that series are Clarke and Watson, and Watson only played one game.

 

[Tangles]

Wasnt the same lineup. Warner and Cowan opening with Ponting and Hussey later are the big changes. Hussey is the loss IMO. Ponting knew his time was up.

 

[Expressway76]

Agar looks in pain. Did he hurt his hip fielding or something?

 

[outbreak]

Rob Quiney for number 3?

Quiney baikey and voges in. Katich wouldn't come back after how they treated him and mhussey
