*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[Tangles]

No follow on. They will just bat us out of it and make us bat last.

 

[Manee]

Oh yeah, absolutely unplayable. No doubt.

Hmmm...

 

[Cabinet96]

This is looking like an innings defeat. Disappointing after such an awesome first test.

This is what happens when you replace Cowan with a gumby like Khawaja.

No hustle skip.

 

[Spark]

and so ends one of the worst sessions of cricket i've ever seen by an australian team

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So - enforce the follow-on or not?

No, bat and wait for Harris to break down then set you 600 to win.

 

[Maximas]

worst session of cricket I've ever witnessed from Australia, not just because of what has happened but because of how, and what it means from the team and the supporters

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Wish this was happening at some forgettable venue like Durham and not bloody Lord's.

 

[dermo]

tbh in my rage about Watson stealing a review from Rogers I don't believe i or anyone else dwelled enough on just how bad that shot was, that should've been 20 rows back and the decision be Erasmus as well **** me

anyway I'm going to bed and I fully expect to wake up to us all put 110 England 0-200

 

[Cooky Monster]

Definately bat again, grind them into the dirt and rest up our bowlers, so much time left.

"Hey guys, they're showing my innings in the tea break, come watch" - Shane Watson.

 

[Spark]

I take back what I said earlier. One side was doing its best to regress to a club side (and did pretty well at that)

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

So does everyone still blame Watson for wasting a start + review when he top scored out of the batsmen?

Just watching Warney's induction into the hall of fame. Liz Hurley is one hot milf.

Yes because its an easy pitch and it was the stupidest review I've ever seen.

 

[Spark]

Yes. We go into the afternoon session 0/42 and life may have been entirely different

 

[LongHopCassidy]

This is horrendous timing.

Definitely!

I think Watson is underrated as an opener. Obviously, he is not the best opener in the world, but if he is in the team anyway (as an all-rounder), I think he is more valuable as an opener than as a #6. He actually DOES get the shine of the new ball consistenty.

The review was a complete brain fart though!

Is he getting inducted into her Hall of Fame?

Yes.

Watson doesn't get exonerated for scoring 30 ffs.
