2019 2nd Ashes Test - Lords 14-18 August 2019

[Santana]

Didn't Bancroft score a century at the Gabba last time England toured?

82 not out. He has never scored a test ton. 20 avg against England

 

[Dez!]

Why would a doctor risk his career and lie to make sure we get another batsman today?

It's not a lie.......

75 or 80 at the Gabba which I think is his only 50+ score in seven ashes tests.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

82* still his highest Test score

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely England just throw the bat at it? They get another 40-50 runs here and they can really apply the pressure

And risk losing? Not going to happen. Would need 230-300 minimum. Pitch is offering nothing today

 

[The King!]

he knows he can try something other than lyon right

 

[Westend]

when australia gets its chance to bat

I would open with wade

until our batsmen get out there

Yeah just looked it up now on howstat. 82 not out in the second innings when they were chasing a reasonably small total for the win. I just remembered him batting well in that test. Probably because it was his Test debut and he hit the winning runs.

 

[The King!]

our fielding is average

England's bowling in the second innings of that Test was shit too.

Can't believe we had that chav Stokes out for single digits and we fluffed the review. Hopefully we can force the draw or run through them real fast.
We really only have ourselves to blame for our shocking fielding and missed reviews.

Heaven help us if Smith misses any more cricket than today.

 

[Freoforever86]

Bang

 

[The King!]

yes needed that
dumb shot

 

[Westend]

well done buttler

 

[k31th]

bye Buttler. not the best delivery, but a wicket nonetheless and there's absolutely no enthusiasm for hte wicket in the commbox.

 

[The King!]

now rip through them

 

[omarlittle1]

Nice Pat. God he's a gun.

 

[Freoforever86]

another quick wicket here is exactly why England won’t want to declare

 

[LukeParkerno1]

when australia gets its chance to bat

I would open with wade

Get this through your head(s) we aren't going to be winning. You go there, first and foremost now to not lose. We aren't putting some t20 opener up just on the 0.0001% chance we actually get in position to win

 

[k31th]

can everybody else hear that some campaigner in the background is constantly emptying 5000 glass bottles from one container to another? seems a little off-putting haha

 

[Westend]

get another one quick boys

 

[showusyacunningt]

Really has to be an epic collapsed to give us a chance

 

[kozi]

2 wickets away from Jofra time.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

2 more wickets and then bouncers at Archer's fingers please
