2ND ASHES TEST: LORDS

[chelt_mackem]

Another missed review from the crims

 

[Jap Stammer]

WTF is going on? Have they collectively forgotten the basics of batting?

 

[Jack Torrance]

Lead of 200 would give us a chance long way away mind

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Have we seem enough of denly now?

And burns and Roy if we're being fair.

Nah. Not if Smith is playing. 250 maybe. Anything less than 200 is likely Aussie win.

they've wasted their review haven't they?

Burns has earned his place in the side for the rest of this series at least.

 

[Jap Stammer]

Bit unfair on Burns. He's scored our only hundred so far and that was a snorter that got him out earlier.

luckiest hundred in test cricket.

Perhaps I am being a bit harsh though...

 

[LD19SAFC]

Hang on in there, lads.

 

[SAFC 2012]

I do think the world cup win has took a lot out of the players mind

Bullshit imo. Theyve been like this for years

One day specialists

 

[Mainze]

Stokes & Buttler did well there. Need to bat for most of the morning session tomorrow too!

 

[chelt_mackem]

Good timing from the rain. Good job from these 2 seeing out the last few overs.

If we can get anything over 200 as a lead, we'll have a hint of a chance.

Depends when they get that 200+ lead, if its closer to tea, Australia will just bat it out and it will be hard to see them lose 10 wickets in 1.5 sessions.

We must look to have it by lunch. 3 per over would get us there and is a realistic thing to aim for. Any runs beyond that just lessen the risk of losing.

 

[smoker]

Been travelling all day so just caught up with the score. Same old shite as Edgbaston, except we seemingly now have a way to deal with Smith.

 

[dangermows]

Wasn't very attacking to shoulder arms to a straight one on a good length

Yep, I agree marra.

 

[Keith S30S]

Been out all day at the footy, saw very little of the cricket.

Watching the highlights on 5, laughed my cock off when Smith took one on the scone by Archer

Get 250 ahead and try to bowl these twats out in the best part of 2 sessions tomorrow.

Harsh on Burns

 

[El Oso]

He has rode his luck and if we had a good batting line up, he wouldn't stand a chance.
However, he does at least try to bat like an opening Test batsman should.
Better than anyone else we'd have for a while.
Weirdest stance I have ever seen though.
