*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[ajdude]

this partnership made me sick at leeds in 2009 and it's doing the same here

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Some lovely shots here, another half hour of this will do.

 

[Ruckus]

less than 400 would be nice here guys

 

[ajdude]

Used to work particularly well on a "wet" pitch. Fantastic came EA Sports Cricket 2007. Has anyone made a cricket game since Brian Lara Cricket 99 that wasn't completely fraught with bugs?

nope. check out big ant cricket 14, it's gonna be half decent. they've released a full-fledged player editor, it's crazy

 

[Cabinet96]

Last wicket stands eh?

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeah, that's the worry, isn't it. If Broad and Swann can bat like this, what will proper batsmen do out there? As you say, the new ball should be absolutely vital.

Exactly. The way Broad just hit through that with such ease is so worrying. Anything slightly off line should get carted on here. Unsurprisingly, we'll be relying on Sir Jimmeh to bowl well first up.

 

[dermo]

why the **** do we try to get funky with tailenders, just bowl line and length ****s

 

[Flametree]

Any Aussie bowler know how to deliver a yorker?

 

[uvelocity]

****s

 

[Spikey]

ffs. gone from lms

 

[Spark]

Serious road but still

 

[MW1304]

Yus LMS.

Would love to see what Swann would do if Broad got another nick and stood his ground.

 

[dermo]

at least the tigers are winning

 

[Pothas]

Love this.

 

[Cricket Brain]

Runs really flowing here. Some good hitting from Broad and Swann but some really ordinary bowling from the Australian bowlers

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, that's the worry, isn't it. If Broad and Swann can bat like this, what will proper batsmen do out there? As you say, the new ball should be absolutely vital.

Good thing Australia only have one.

It never really works out like that anyway. In the session after the Agar/Hughes partnership Australia made run-scoring look almost impossible back at TB. England will be hoping to bowl a lot better than this.

 

[ajdude]

look i'm gonna go take a poo™ and if they're still batting when i get back i will be pissed

 

[King Pietersen]

nope. check out big ant cricket 14, it's gonna be half decent. they've released a full-fledged player editor, it's crazy

Looks pretty promising. There was an indie project started a few years back, The Art of Cricket which looked really promising, but ended up not getting finished. Hopefully Big Ant'll get finished, does look a lot more promising than the new Ashes game. The reverse sweep isn't in the first release of the game, got to wait for DLC to get that shot :/

 

[Expressway76]

Yes it is a road but this is still runs on the board so I'm not too worried (yet).

 

[Spikey]

why the **** was pattinson not on the fence
