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

[ashley bach]

Really looks a beautiful time for batting now.

 

[chris.hinton]

These bowlers offer nothing if you attack them. 4-1 incoming

 

[Spark]

Really looks a beautiful time for batting now.

Yep, and these two look well set and confident now. We need to bowl dry here.

 

[Pothas]

Got to say when Crawley does he play his shots he looks very classy

His pull shot might actually be my favourite in cricket right now.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Wicket doing noothhiinnggh.

Imagine if England bowled well yesterday...

 

[halba]

Aussies are bowling filth.

 

[RightArmMystery]

There it is, his favourite shot, the french cut.

 

[chris.hinton]

We need to go even more

Get 6s and break the spirit of this team

 

[andruid]

 

[chris.hinton]

Hazelwood is useless and Borland offered more in the last test.

 

[loterry1994]

Of Course its batting conditions today

 

[vicleggie]

Duckett is a nervous, streaky but attacking little player. Demeanour of a left-handed Michael Slater

 

[chris.hinton]

haha

Cummings: what do we do
Smith: You are the captain
Cummings: I'm out of my depth here
Hazelwood: I will continue to bowl ****, That will do the trick

 

[Spark]

Hahaha this is going to be one of those "he never lifted his foot from the crease" stumping reviews hey

 

[Spark]

Crowd feel like reacting to the action? Eerie to hear absolutely zero noise through that

 

[morgieb]

Aussies are bowling filth.

Yeah we've looked off the boil. The wicket has looked flat but there's been too many 4-balls and not enough desire to bowl dry.

 

[Spark]

Yeah we've looked off the boil. The wicket has looked flat but there's been too many 4-balls and not enough desire to bowl dry.

We've bowled as if it's hooping around all over the place. You'd hope they'd have adjusted to the actual conditions by now.

 

[halba]

Double change for 3rd test. Boland replaces Mr 6RPO starc . Neser comes in for the lackluster Hazlewood

 

[morgieb]

That's closer than I expected.

 

[Spark]

Double change for 3rd test. Boland replaces Mr 6RPO starc . Neser comes in for the lackluster Hazlewood

Didn't I warn you like five times about this sort of kneejerk nonsense?
