*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[Tangles]

I don't think he usually has injury issues, had no troubles in the domestic season that I recall

How many long spells does he bowl in SS though?

 

[Expressway76]

Well batted young Joe, now double it.

Hopefully this will be the making of him at test level. He's been out to some corking deliveries early on so far so he can count himself unlucky.

 

[91Jmay]

Maybe I am being harsh to Agar but the fact he isn't looking threatening coupled with his propensity for nearly a pie an over I just don't think he is ready. Bresnan is also a dire player of spin which I am factoring in.

 

[Tangles]

Another full toss missed.

 

[Maximas]

Missed a season with back stressies.

Growing pains?

Wheeled through a fair few in the second dig in some matches I think, he looked pretty good at the end of the day at Trent Bridge I thought as a reference point.

 

[vic_orthdox]

He did shoot up massively. (He also grew a fair bit...)

 

[Tangles]

We need angry Patto back.

 

[Maximas]

We need angry Patto back.

ajdude hopefully not far away...

 

[MW1304]

Agar's bowling like a tall Herath at the moment, quite wide of the crease drifting it in loads.

 

[MW1304]

Want to see KP bowl soon to see the rev count.

[Tangles]

Ok what's with the back of the Aussie shirts and pants. They look like the have a sewn in sports bra. Did they send some women's shirts for Twatto.

It is happening, you are being stuffed slowly but surely by a good side.

 

[91Jmay]

I should clarify on Agar, I'm not saying he isn't going to be a very good bowler. He is 19, clearly has bags of talent just as of now he isn't a threat to England.

They're actually things they were underneath. Think they record how far they run and all other fancy stuff like that. They use the data for the rotation policy and how much training they should do, I think.

The thing is Lyon is crap anyway so won't be a threat either. may as well plan longterm now.

Good point. Is he more of a threat than Lyon? If not, let the lad get some serious amount of domestic cricket under his belt and bring him back when he's ready. Most spinners take a few years to perfect their game after all.

 

[Tangles]

Yes. Smith warming up.
