England v India (2nd test) Lords

[Sea to Shining Sea]

That’s a very good ball that causes bother for batsmen who have very good technique. It’s absolutely unplayable for someone who plays front on.

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Beaten by tea-time?

 

[Stormo]

Burns is absolutely shite like

how on earth has he got 20 plus caps?

awful batsman

We’ve not got a lot of options these days like.

 

[SAFC11]

Was a brilliant delivery as well I should add

 

[scotch]

All on root again, need to bat time cannot afford to lose root before tea, or more than 1 wicket

 

[The Rat]

Roots mind will be so gone

be amazed if he scores runs

 

[Kumbuka]

So joe root has been in play for the entire match other than 16 overs, bloke must be knackered!

 

[zebediah]

To be honest I didn't expect Burns and Sibley to get 20 between them, they're not very good and don't handle pressure well either.
Yet they both exceeded that crapness.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Did he nick that or did it hit his back leg?

Walking in this situation I don't get.

He had to walk really. Took the face off it. He was desperate to get off strike one way or another

 

[scotch]

1st time our openers have been out for ducks in a home test

 

[Raker]

Roots mind will be so gone

be amazed if he scores runs

I won’t. He’s f***ing class

 

[mackembhoy]

He had to walk really. Took the face off it. He was desperate to get off strike one way or another

Watching it on my phone and so was more difficult to tell.

My excuse anyway

Just seen the burns dismissal that is utterly pathetic

 

[Jack Torrance]

Get them off for bad light

 

[GuestServices]

Beaten by 2.30pm ?

tidied

 

[Deleted member 22162]

Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong since the Pant wicket has gone wrong. Tactically inept in the field, wayward with the ball now mentally and technically shot to bits with the bat.

Hameed with the edge there

 

[zebediah]

Hameed faffs about forever between delivery then plays shots like that

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Hameed looks a walking wicket here. Work hard son. Graft your bollocks off to get some rhythm

 

[rentaghost]

When you think of how they are bowling now to our top order and the field settings compared to us against their 9 and 10 when they came out

 

[Deleted member 22162]

First time ever in a home test match both openers have been out for nought

Madness

When you think of how they are bowling now to our top order and the field settings compared to us against their 9 and 10 when they came out

This all the way, wtf went on earlier man

 

[Hulkster]

We spend a whole session unsuccessfully trying to remove their numbers 9 and 10, and they come out and dismiss both our openers for ducks.

May as well jack it in, absolutely atrocious.
