2nd Test, Lord's, London

[Cabinet96]

Lol Broad was doing the celebration appeal for that.

 

[Starfighter]

Jeez that's damn close. Was giving it immediately.

 

[GIMH]

Hard to tell without Jimmy Anderson playing. If he takes wickets then that's clinical evidence that it must be cloudy.

Richard was still posting at this forum back when this qualified as original thought on CW. Just FYI.

 

[Spark]

Has he hit that? That looked absolutely stone dead.

 

[aussie tragic]

I just can't watch Smith bat anymore...his ****terisms and changing gloves every 2 overs is beyond the joke...much rather wake up tomorrow and read he has another 100

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yeah that was an absolutely shocking decision

 

[morgieb]

**** **** ****. 5 minutes and he'd probably have been safe.

 

[Burgey]

How do you give that not out? Terrible decisions continue. Just bizarre umpiring

 

[Starfighter]

That was a truly rubbish decision.

 

[91Jmay]

How was that not given live. Stonedead.

 

[Spark]

Well I don't understand how you don't give that out.

 

[trundler]

Clear as day. Australia have been beHeaded

 

[Compton]

That looked incredibly out live.

 

[Gnske]

Aleem must have been thinking of his Scottish son during that delivery.

 

[Starfighter]

We're losing this I think.

 

[morgieb]

Must've thought he hit it. Angle looked vaguely leg-sidish but Head was a long way back.

 

[TheJediBrah]

That's about the innings I expect from Head in Test cricket though. Not the fluke-averaging 50 bloke that's snuck through.

 

[GIMH]

Pretty poor N/O decision but I guess he might have thought there was bat.

Smith will finish on 14* today.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That just looked out. No idea why he never gave that.

 

[morgieb]

We're losing this I think.

Depends on if they get Smith out....or when the rain hits. Our 6-11 looks really unconvincing in this case.

Frustratingly I think we've played the better cricket, but have blown it by the decision to bowl when the skies were clear.
