*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[Tangles]

This.

Still think we will win at Trent Bridge where Jimmy has an amazing record but doubt we will stop them winning at least one more.

Going to Edgebaston and the forecast is a bit if a worry. Hope it's massively wrong this far out.

Woot, nice one Haze.

 

[Gob]

Won by 403. I dont even

 

[GIMH]

god i hope so

Dont know if it was deliberate but he definitely turned away as Clarke went to shake it

magbe he's still angry about the broken arm

 

[The Sean]

I had day 5 tickets.

**** you England.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Did Jimmy just refuse to shake Clarke's hand?

Just kinda walked past him. Might have already done it off screen earlier or something.

 

[Tangles]

I had day 5 tickets.

**** you England.

Refund?

 

[vogue]

Totally disappointing from England..thought we were better than this.. But well done Australia .

 

[GIMH]

Warns with some awesome mathematical prowess on display

but for Broad's 25 it could have been all out for 70 or 80

****ing genius

 

[Pothas]

That was one of the very worst things I have ever seen.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah I'm going to buy some beers

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Refund?

Don't do refunds, day 5 tickets are much cheaper but no money back if game doesn't go that far. Or they used to be anyway. Presume it still the case.

 

[Tangles]

Top effort that. So the only worries for Aus the form of Clarke and Voges with the bat I think. Starc and Rogers will hopefully be good fitness wise.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

What's the consensus on this pitch, was it closer to a 8-566/2-254 or a 312/103 pitch? Did Australia bat supremely well or England bat incredibly poor? Stupid question really, I already know the answer.

I think batting tomorrow would have been fairly tough. Decent amount of turn and variable bounce out there today. Don't think it was ever a 600 v 600 wicket but 312 is a pretty poor score in the first innings.

Nah you do get a refund these days. Got one in 2013.

 

[Tangles]

I suspect this was a win the toss pitch but England gave it away with that 1st inning batting. 10 wickets vs 20 makes it look like a gulf between the sides. If this is how England respond to scoreboard pressure the toss next up becomes huge.

 

[vogue]

Yeah I'm going to buy some beers

2 bottles of New Zealand Pinots in the fridge I feel will nicely numb this disaster...

 

[mr_mister]

honestly expect it to be 4-1 now. hope i'm wrong though.

Drop Bell, Lyth, Ballance and Buttler. All honestly look out of their depth

What's Morgan doing these days? lol or Owais Shah or someone. ANYONE


I also wish Australia batted a bit longer now, Clarke and Marsh deserved tons

 

[ajdude]

will ch9 show the presentation?

 

[Kirkut]

Aussies should be tested with some REAL English conditions. Like the one India had to tolerate last year in Manchester when they were 8/4 at one time.

Anyways, a very good cricket match at Lord's!
