2ND ASHES TEST: LORDS

[TravellingMackem]

Disagree, no way should he have given the Aussies even a sniff of a win. Plenty of time left in the series yet.

Pointless drawing the game - still need to win all of the next 3 tests, so may as well risked the defeat

 

[Snappy]

Turning away

 

[TopCat]

I stated multiple times before the declaration occured when we should declare. Isn't a hindsight call at all. Could see this tight finish coming a mile off

Course you could.
And if the Aussies had knocked off 190 with 2 wickets down you would be complaining about that too

Pointless drawing the game - still need to win all of the next 3 tests, so may as well risked the defeat

No we don't

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Why do we have to win 3?

233 from 57 was a possibility. That isn't being knocked off with ease in reality.

Nope.

Denly could get a job ahead of Modern here

Can you not count

 

[TravellingMackem]

2-2 means the Aussies keep the Ashes

 

[JohnSmithUK]

2-2 means the Aussies keep the Ashes

2 wins and a draw gets us the ashes?

 

[TravellingMackem]

Can you not count

We barely managed to draw a test we lost nearly 3 days to rain in. Very unlikely to get another draw given how poor both teams bat

Reality only exists when it actually happens. Everything else is conjecture. Let's just face it - you want to twist on anything and everything
This has been an excellent Test Match

2-2 means the Aussies keep the Ashes

So do the Aussies get awarded an extra point for the concussion?

They won this one like?

 

[FatDrummer]

2-2 means the Aussies keep the Ashes

Yeah, but the Aussies have only won one.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Get awarded it for winning the other game

Pointless drawing so we go for it and lose ? 2-0 down or draw And limited it to 1-0. Because the rain killed this game a draw was pretty much nailed on.

 

[Chappers]

Why do we have to win 3?

Because people cant f***ing count

You mean you fucked up? OK.
