*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[91Jmay]

Good ball, but honestly think Aussies are better served having a go here. If they sit in against quality bowlers like Swann or Anderson they will nick off eventually.

 

[Expressway76]

i like to think Lehmann looked so bored because Clarke had spent the last 40 minutes telling him how watson must go

Yeah I was lip reading and I'm guessing hearing "Aw jeez, Watto is a complete **** but" ad nauseum would get tiring.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

The lack of fight from Australia is alarming.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Rad gone. Zzzz

 

[Expressway76]

Swanneh on for a Michelle.

 

[Manee]

Australia's only chance in the series is if England enforce the follow on.

 

[91Jmay]

Limited blame for Haddin. Firefighters can't save every house from going up[.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Played this Swann cat well haven't they? Seeing as he is no threat and all that.

 

[grecian]

Swann to pick up a Michelle?

Yeah I said Michelle, Heath live with it

 

[Prince EWS]

It's going to feel so wrong collecting on my bet for Watto top scoring in this innings. I might just give the money back. I also have a bet on Pattinson though so here's hoping I can win it that way instead.

Certainly, no blame for Haddin. Perhaps he should be pushed up the order. Maybe Clarke at 3 and Haddin at 4 is the drastic action that is needed.

He's just a deeply average spinner who has done well due to lack of quality players of spin in the game.

 

[Bahnz]

Oof, this is brutal.

What odds did you get on the Watto top score?

 

[91Jmay]

Did say Swann would love this pitch. Agar has been shown up badly here as its a goodun for spinners.

 

[Prince EWS]

What odds did you get on the Watto top score?

5.70 for Watto, about 65 for Pattinson IIRC. Another reason to hope Patto can steal it.

 

[Maximas]

I feel sick watching this, this is an absolute capitulation, there was no reason for it, and it makes me wonder where Australian cricket really is.

 

[Furball]

No follow on please. Let the bowlers put their feet up and break the Australian bowlers.

his hip gave out, plus England actually played him properly

Yeah, ineffective isn't he? not feared at all by the Aussies, he won't be much of a factor in this series.
