2ND ASHES TEST: LORDS

[TravellingMackem]

Yeah, but the Aussies have only won one.

And if we don't win the fifth, they do. Isn't difficult like

 

[Sharpshooter]

Yeah, but the Aussies have only won one.

They only need to win one more to retain the Ashes. Very much advantage them.

 

[Steak Pie]

Get awarded it for winning the other game

First game counts for 2? You'd think someone might have mentioned that before.

 

[Mainze]

Played superbly today, very unlucky. Some nice momentum going here, the Australians are on the back foot.

 

[TravellingMackem]

You mean you fucked up? OK.

I very much didn't fuck it up though, did I? Draw is very unlikely, so 4 games with results would mean we need to win 3.

Draws still not allowed in a fifth test?

 

[TravellingMackem]

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

Wtf is that - isn't even a real sentence.

Draws still not allowed in a fifth test?

Highly unlikely. I'd rather risk winning this one than sit at the Oval doing a rain dance
Poor captaincy, poor declaration and poor bowling plans cost us. Desperate for a new captain

Course you did. We can win two, draw the other and would therefore win the series? Yes or no?

I dislike Aleem Dar

cracking test match that

Could've got another over in there.

@TravellingMackem making an absolute fool of himself here.

For the fifth time, a draw is highly unlikely when two teams cannot bat. If you want to sit there at the Oval doing a rain dance, feel free, but I'd have rather we had another 7 overs to push for a win and risk losing (still unlikely they'd have chased 233 off 57, lets be honest) than sit there hoping for a draw somewhere down the line

Haven't had much time for this so far, but watched that last 2 hours. Cracking cricket.

 

[Steak Pie]

Anyway, enough of this bizarre turn.

From miles behind they've done great to almost force a result when they had no right to get close. A few scars, mentally and physically, left on the Aussies, roll on Thursday.

Yes or no man?

Let's see what happens in the last test matches. When there is nothing close to a draw and we end up 2-2 at the end you can come back and see that I am correct

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

We've just had a draw.

What a fantastic test match. Pity we couldn't knock them over, but it was always a tall order. Aussies still favourites for the series, but we're back in it.
