England v India (2nd test) Lords

[Jack Torrance]

Watching atherton n Strauss walk round the ground makes you think just how good they were.
bring cook back for the winter can’t be any worse

Well he’s still the best opener in the country nobody doubts that however he won’t be coming back to play for England

 

[scotch]

Fingers crossed here

 

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

Cack.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Umpire has had a shocker with that decision mind. Absolutely plumb LBW.

[Jack Torrance]

Absolutely shite.

Bugger!

Fingers crossed here

Looked out live to me, odd decision.

 

[Hulkenburger]

Don't think the rest will be able to stick around.

Was shocked he did not give it immediately.

 

[hudson88]

All so predictable

50% chance of rain 4pm-5pm

We need it. Looks dark as f*ck mind. Needs Kohli’s light meter.

England last selection of openers Sibley, Burns, Stoneman, Jennings, Robson, Lyth, Hameed all deserved their selection in weight of runs. All of them have failed at test cricket and most of them went back to the county game and did fuck all. The cupboard really is pretty bare.

There was no cheating at all by the onfield umpires in the winter. There was 2 3rd umpire decisions that left a bad taste.

There was.

I'm following the day on BBC's live feed. Never noticed they had a count for how many people are viewing the page live. Almost 152,000 on the cricket live update feed and they say test cricket is dying

Depends on the age profile etc too. It’s not that many.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

This lot are absolutely shite mind

 

[scotch]

So buttler and root, Ali and root, Curran and root - 36 overs to survive, Robinson, wood and Anderson after

Athers wasn't but Strauss was canny.

Another trapped on the crease. Good ball, poor batting. The technical deficiencies of each batsman to be dismissed have well and truly been exposed here. It’s just so predictably bad.

What?! Michael Atherton was an outstanding opening batsman. On iffy wickets, against some of the best new ball bowlers in the history of the game and in one of the most tumultuous times in English cricket Michael Atherton was superb.

 

[Sweeper]

Credit to Root mind. He's playing the second best test side in the world, and he's playing them by himself.

We've never lost when Root has scored 100....hope we are still saying that at end of play
