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

[Spark]

I mean what is this.

 

[sledger]

More KP thoughtfulness.

It wasn't a bad shot really because if it had gone like he wanted it to it would have gone for six.

Yeah thanks for that Kay Pee.

 

[slowfinger]

also look at this

Starc Cummins Green all bowling 88+ MPH
Hazelwood 83 mph and TIGHT

Anderson Broad RObinson 78-82 mph
Tongue 85-88 mph

it's chalk and cheese

 

[RightArmMystery]

Another braindead ****ing shot though. If this sort of decision making is what Bazball is, then Baz isn't going to be around for long.

 

[Kirkut]

Ok, this is Mitch Johnson 2009 Ashes stuff now..

It's honestly a competition of who can be less ****. It's ridiculous.

 

[RightArmMystery]

How is that byes?!

 

[trundler]

That's wide ffs

 

[kevinw]

Nice work Green. Bout time someone in this Test took a wicket off a no ball.

After the Khawaja one at Edgbaston I couldn't believe how lazy England were with no balls. They were lucky they didn't get a wicket with one.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Please just abolish the wide from tests if umpires are going to be complete cowards.

 

[grecian]

I know it's not how it goes nowadays, but could we just have a really boring innings from Root now, please?

It's 195/1 is what is

 

[Spark]

Wagner's pernicious influence on test cricket.

If this seriously works I will laugh for days. It's so bad.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That was one of the lowest quality overs of test cricket I've seen in along time. Everything about it was putrid.

 

[hazsa19]

Surely they know the bowlers can’t do this forever??? It’s not just us is it?

 

[Kirkut]

Pope's shot was not as awful as the one played by Green yesterday.

 

[sledger]

er

 

[RightArmMystery]

Pope's shot was not as awful as the one played by Green yesterday.

That is a very low bar

It's interesting Jarrod Kimber called this as oz' tactics after tea, and he's been right, we just don't seem to know what to do about it.

 

[Gob]

Ffs green is it that hard to keep the front foot behind
