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

[Saket1209]

Dutch Army need 127 more to Trash Westindies

Westindies 81/6
181 all out
Scotland 1 Down 54

They are ****ed by the scottish

 

[Woodster]

I think a key difference is Australia have less of an incentive to just see the barrage out. They rather take the risk and score runs given they can afford to.

Yes I get that, but they’re playing it equally as badly so it’s a decent ploy.

 

[Gob]

Don't mind seeing them shutting the shop here and wait this out. They will obviously run out of steem and the game moves well in to the day

Not sure that can be done with Head

 

[Spark]

Tubby talking about intimidating bowling. These are top order batters, if they can't play 80mph bouncers, give up. I can understand if it's Anderson or Hazlewood at the crease but if Head can't play bouncers that's his deal.

Yeah the reason it's never called because it would be ridiculous to call it in most circumstances, especially if it takes wickets.

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's just kind of **** cricket but I don't blame England at all for doing it

 

[Spark]

I know Green is Tall (TM) but even he would struggle to reach some of these.

 

[TimAngas]

I sincerely hope this series doesn't go into this holding pattern we have now.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Green is a kindred spirit when it comes to playing the short ball. As soon as you pick up it's short, duck.

 

[DDP]

What’s the situation with Pope is he fit to bat ?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Don't get strangled Head.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I can see Head trying to ramp one over the keeper here

 

[TimAngas]

I wonder if Head, like Brook, will go for the tennis shot down the ground at some point.

 

[Son Of Coco]

****ing hell Travis.

 

[Spark]

Head's not getting anything in his own half this series ever again.

 

[CartyDurham]

Good catch root

 

[Alex0paul]

Hit the ground didn’t it?

 

[CartyDurham]

This game is in the balance somehow

 

[halba]

Travis head is horrible against the short ball. Why has it taken until the 2nd game 2nd inn for them to figure it out.

 

[Qlder]

What happened to the 2 bouncers an over rule?

 

[Burgey]

Brilliant catch that one
