*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[Ruckus]

bout 3 more overs straight here and watson will no doubt fracture his spine

 

[Burgey]

So much Ginger at the crease.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I feel like this I'd going to be a massive road tomorrow if the sun is out. Wouldn't think 300 odd would be enough here.

 

[Ruckus]

alright bell its time to **** off mate

Definitely not normally but both teams are so much better at bowling than batting that what constitutes a good total is a lot lower than usual.

 

[Burgey]

Is Bell growing a mo? That's ****in tops.

 

[morgieb]

Bowling with much more discipline now than the crap Siddle and Pattinson were serving before lunch. ****ing Victorians.

whilst true, if the new ball can be averted without harm, i feel this is a pitch very suited to a good deal of our batsmen. It's a fairly australian wicket really. Decent pace, good bounce, not much movement off the surface.

Nah... just chocolate milk imo

Hey Trott, how about going on with a score once in a while?

Chance would be a fine thing.

Still, he's done enough to keep his place in the side which seems to be the main thing.

Potentially, but I'm not sure. England gave your batsmen such a pasting on similar wickets last time out.

 

[Furball]

The frustrating thing is that the 2nd half 9f the afternoon session and the evening session should be your reward for gritting out a tricky morning. Particularly with the weather being as it is.

If it's an Australian wicket then that's advantage England going by your blokes' First Class records.

yeah well im not gonna count chickens before they hatch here, but i'd expect Watson, Hughes, Khawaja and and Smith in particular will like these conditions.

 

[Burgey]

**** he's a good bowler this ****.

 

[wpdavid]

**** he's a good bowler this ****.

Harris? I only just realised he's averaging 22 in tests, which is quite something. But has only played in 13 of them.

Good luck to him, he deserves a break after all his bad luck with injuries.

hell, if all our batsman matched their FC records, I think we'd be a pretty happy team

Aye.

Bowls such a heavy ball. Shame he's been so stymied.

 

[Spark]

What's up with Patto? Looks completely out of rhythm
