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

[Bahnz]

Haha look at all those toffs in the long room refusing to applaud the Aussies. Almost enough to make me support the dismissal.

 

[Flem274*]

I think England are too far out unless a bowler plays a cameo of substance. If they had a Woakes or Moeen it would be 50/50. Robinson can troll but the other dudes need to step up. How's Tongue with the stick?

 

[CartyDurham]

Yep close to a hundred on his own. the tail will be lucky to get 30-40 all up
Its certainly possible, given the kind of form he is in today.

Don’t underestimate Broad. He can bat if not constantly receiving bouncers

 

[human]

Don’t underestimate Broad. He can bat if not constantly receiving bouncers

he will constantly be receiving bouncers

 

[Daemon]

 

[Spark]

Don’t underestimate Broad. He can bat if not constantly receiving bouncers

Guess what he'll be getting then

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What controversy has Broad been involved in?

Non walking, peeing on the pitch, saying Australia's last Ashes win didn't count ...

I've heard he spends the off-season standing in someone's garden.

 

[CartyDurham]

he will constantly be receiving bouncers

Exactly. But that takes bowled and lbw out of the equation

he has to duck or take the blow

 

[Gnske]

Guess what he'll be getting then

Oh no no, these guys don't know how to bowl bouncers

Headingley is definitely happening again.

 

[human]

they should throw in a couple yorkers in then. bring starc back on

 

[CartyDurham]

Non walking, peeing on the pitch, saying Australia's last Ashes win didn't count ...

Not walking. No no no never ever been an Australian do that and the last one was a wind up which as per bites followed

 

[chris.hinton]

Hahaha wonderful

 

[loterry1994]

We’ll least Lyon ain’t out there to screw us over again

Tongue is genuine no.10. They've got 1 no.11 - Anderson, and 3 no.10's Robinson and Broad and Tongue.

 

[CartyDurham]

Both teams for some reason , don’t bowl Yorkers

 

[chris.hinton]

Because it's against the Spirit of the Game rule.

I'm an Englishman who had been enjoying the Aussies putting Wankball in its place with proper, top class cricket. You shouldn't have to cheat, you're good enough. But that was an utter disgrace.

we are winning the test

 

[human]

Oh no no, these guys don't know how to bowl bouncers

Headingley is definitely happening again.

stokes will literally have to get a double century

 

[CartyDurham]

Guess what he'll be getting then

Takes two dismissals out though

 

[Aidan11]

Is that Bairstow dismissal not classed as run out rather than stumped?
