*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

[CartyDurham]

Was a bag of nerves at Edgbaston Green.

And not much better at Lords

Tailender wicket

 

[GIMH]

My feed clearly behind a few here...that's a bloody awful shot isn't it.

We're right in this game all of a sudden

 

[kevinw]

Hahaha proper village batting.

 

[Alex0paul]

Deserves to be dropped for that

 

[slowfinger]

i'm about 2 minutes behind but that is a dreadful wicket. Again way to quick and flat. **** sometimes gets wickets however

 

[ashley bach]

Probably the least threatening of all the front line seamers.

That's cool, but out of all the quicks he has been the least threatening. Tongue has bowled filth but als


India next? I think he is not essential for that tour tbf.

India won't be Jimmy's cup of tea, they'd be mad to take him there.

 

[CartyDurham]

Nervous Green in all innings so far

get smith and we might have a chance

I don't even understand what he was trying to do. Hit it for six I guess?

 

[Saket1209]

what was that just poor cricket

 

[CartyDurham]

India won't be Jimmy's cup of tea, they'd be mad to take him there.

No chance hes going to India unless as a commentator

Yes it was, in 2003 against SA. Willis may have done too in 1984, although he may have played in the 3rd test and then called it a day.
I hope this series isn't awful for Branderson, but things aren't looking good. As others have said, at least Jimmy's been economical today. But if they couldn't take advantage of conditions for the first session and a half, maybe anno domini has caught up with them.

I always assumed Anderson would have his farewell match at the Oval this year. . If his form isn’t good enough I’m not sure what would happen. Broad is younger, may be around a bit longer.

@Spark cbf to go find the posts as thread moving quickly - I agree with you that you should want to bowl team's out when putting them in. I swear listening to TMS for an Ashes game in Oz one time the comms said you want them 7 down if you put them in. Would you agree with that for Oz conditions or think they're talking wham?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lmao what a terrible shot. He just spooned it to Anderson.

Nerves even all time greats have them. He’s looked a bag of them in the first test

First I'd ask wtf you're doing putting them in in Aus conditions

 

[Aidan11]

Believe it or not it has taken me till now to realise why Root wears the number 66

 

[CartyDurham]

Jimmy is finished

At the Oval , as a hero, walking off probably
