2nd Test, Lord's, London

[trundler]

Just abort the poor thing if you don't want it instead of giving it a dog's name.

 

[TheJediBrah]

And you'll feel even better if it's true he took 1-78 in the second dig?

One of the teenage batsmen was named Milo. I don't know if being called Milo predetermines you to be less equipped against fast bowling, but I imagine it can't help.

I look forward to seeing an epic rearguard partnership with Otis

 

[Daemon]

Don’t forget good boi Ollie

 

[SteveNZ]

Someone start a 'cricketers with dogs names' thread.

Milo, and Jack Russell behind the stumps. There's two.

Olly Stone release by eng for 2 weeks as he injured

Anderson out of Lords test I would like to pick Sam more than Jofra

I hadn't thought of that movie in years.

 

[Starfighter]

Brendon Julian believes that Starc has to play at Lord's because of the slope and his angle.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'm not really going to take Julian's advice on anything, unless it's hair-product related

 

[Lillian Thomson]

We're pinning our hopes on a man coming back from a side strain who has played little first class cricket in his career and none for the last year or so. Fred Trueman is probably turning in his grave. He could of course be dangerous, but I wouldn't be surprised if he went for plenty - or aggravated his injury.

 

[Starfighter]

I can kinda see Julian's point about a bowler bringing the ball back in with the slope after going cross the right handers being difficult to play, but I don't think Starc's bowling accurately enough atm to do it.

 

[Gnske]

Just imagine paying the price for a Lords ticket only to see Cam Bancroft's take on a defensive technique.

I can't wait to see it again.

 

[Ulzan69]

JOFRA ready for LORDS : 6 FOR 21 & 100 @ 6 FOR SUSSEX 2ND xl

 

[Ulzan69]

Jofra too good to go

Milo was the cat in Milo and Otis. There have been at least two Jack Russell's at test level and Ottis Gibson.

 

[BoyBrumby]

My folks used to have a dalmation called "Shane" when I was wee, so that's any number of antipodeans covered.

 

[wpdavid]

I used to have a cat called 'Tiger', but I can't honestly claim he was named after O'Reilly.
I also used to have a goldfish called 'Bert' but he wasn't named after Oldfield either.

 

[Pothas]

Had a stick insect called Curtly.

*big ass writing*

can you not

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

Why is Denly still in the test squad, and looks like in the team, for this this test?

The only way he will not be in the team is if the team is something like
Burns, Roy, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Bairstow, Woakes, Archer, Curran, Broad, Leach.
Is there any chance of this happening?
