*Official* Second Test at Lord's

Feck. You needed to go on with it Jonny.

EDIT
And it seems he may have got away with it this time.

I'm not totally in agreement with the Bairstow bashing on here. After a poor series against WI, he came back for one tests against SA and top scored for the side, buy some distance. Since when he's played one innings in India, one test in NZ having barely played for months and 3 and a bit test this summer. Where he hasn't excelled, but he has made some runs. We won't develop a settled middle order without giving people a proper run at it.

Everybody surprised.

Hmm. The radio commentators (admittedly both Aussie) thought that was too close to call, everybody here seems to think it was a no ball.

End of his career if that's not a no ball.

Lucky boy.

Keeps getting out for the same way. Compton must be seething to have been dropped for this shower.

Sitting in the garden listening to the commentary, knew it was Bairstow as soon as Bumble shouted bowled.

Lucky, lucky Bairstow. He's not going to last at this level. **** against spin, anything short, anything straight and anything that moves. What is he actually good at?

Bumble being harsh there IMO. He started looking at around mid on after he'd missed the ball. How do you expect him to keep looking at it once it's gone behind him.
