*Official* Second Test at Lords

[Richard]

Come on some of you are beinf just a tad harsh on Hauritz for that dropped catch. Strauss absolutely mullered that ball.

Yeah, it was a difficult catch but certainly not uncatchable.

Richard's Unbelievably Dim

Joke!

Realistically unplayable delivery

 

[duffer]

Lost the toss, bowler down, Adebayor not sold yet. Horrific day.

At least it's Friday soon.

Richard's Unbelievably Dim

Nice try, but you're wrong on all three I'm afraid.
























And YES, I WAS AWARE THAT POST WAS IN JEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Get Macca on, Watson may hurt himself

He probably hurt himself just from watching that.

 

[Prince EWS]

For some reason, on some level deep inside, I actually want England to win this game. I'm not even sure why.

It worries me. I think only Burgey can save me now.

C'mon, it's not as if it was Viv Richards who hit the ball.

England 1.44

Indigestion probably.

 

[zaremba]

Will Hauritz be able to bat? On a pitch like this, with England having got off to a relatively good start, I fear his batting more than his bowling tbh.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, like Strauss looking totally at ease and then getting out before Bopara who looked all at sea in the last Test, it's just the sort of thing you expect.

Another dropped catch, and Hauritz injured. Jammy bastard looks likely to get out of the 0-150 he deserved now.

Yes, I'm sure he feels really relieved whilst his finger is in agony...

 

[Richard]

C'mon, it's not as if it was Viv Richards who hit the ball.

Do you think the hardest Viv Richards shot actually went faster than the hardest Andrew Strauss shot?

Richards was just better than most batsmen, he didn't hit the ball proportionally harder than anyone.

 

[Pizzorno]

C'mon, it's not as if it was Viv Richards who hit the ball.

When the ball's hit hard, it's hit hard.

Current Odds.
England 1.44
Draw 3.50
Australia 10.00

Haha, getting on the draw as soon as I get home, thought about it prior to the game but the odds weren't that great...thats 5/2 now in English money isn't it?

 

[Richard]

Yes, I'm sure he feels really relieved whilst his finger is in agony...

It's a good job he has the pain to distract him from the relief of avoiding the pasting he was on track for.

 

[Jakester1288]

In a case like this with the bowler clearly injured you should be able to use the sub as a bowler. England should make 450+ now that Johnson is bowling rubbish, Siddle hasn't been doing anything special, the England batsmen are on a roll and now we are a bowler down. Macca and/or Watson should be allowed to bowl.

 

[Athlai]

Do you think the hardest Viv Richards shot actually went faster than the hardest Andrew Strauss shot?

Richards was just better than most batsmen, he didn't hit the ball proportionally harder than anyone.

Yeah, farcical thought.

Agreed

Yeah, just got on it myself. Can't believe those odds. Almost tempted to have a flutter on Australia too; don't think they're out of this at all.

 

[zaremba]

When Ricky told his bowlers at lunchtime to pull their fingers out, I doubt he meant it quite so literally
