*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[Prince EWS]

which game are you talking about?

Pattinson's Test debut. Was against NZ, at the Gabba IIRC.

 

[Expressway76]

I know it's not a good time for spin but Agar hasn't vaguely threatened or kept things tight.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice 50 ginger Jonny. Haters can suck it.

so like his fifth test? sixth? we need a number

i recall him taking a lovely five wicket haul in hobart on debut for instance

yeah i was being facetious. my bad. should have said which debut are you talking about.

I know it's not a good time for spin but Agar hasn't vaguely threatened or kept things tight.

Yeah he hasn't bowled a threatening ball at all, but also isn't going around the park so atleast Clarke can keep him on.

 

[Ruckus]

Given siddle genuinely doesn't seem to bowl particularly fast anymore, is there actually any truth to the 'runs in hard all day' label? Does bowling in the mid 130's all day really constitute running in hard #theimportantquestions

Haha, I could've sworn he ripped through New Zealand in the first innings.

He's going at nearly 5 an over.

I'm getting sick of repeating myself, bowling fast does not matter in England.

Second.

 

[91Jmay]

He's going at nearly 5 an over.

Or less than 3 per over if you apply maths

 

[ajdude]

well i think this is as good a time as any to catch up on some sleep

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh sheeit! Gun session.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Mah bad was thinking you meant Pattinson blame ajdude for tha', clearly his fault.

 

[Furball]

Second.

Yeah I know, I looked up the scorecard. Have literally no recollection of New Zealand's first innings at all.

i recall starc getting mccullum tickling down the legside for his first wicket. indicative of things to come

edit: oh. nope

Starc to McCullum, OUT, Starc has a first wicket, and he couldn't have got a more explosive pair of names on the dismissal than McCullum and Warner! Short of a length again, and that natural angle and seam brings it back into McCullum, who can't resist the urge to cut, nay shred, the short ball even if it isn't wide enough. He ends up carving it straight to Warner at point and he's on his way.

 

[Howe_zat]

Would not stand for JB coming at me if I were Patto/Siddle. Fear for him if they twig to getting it in his grill.
