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

Wait.... why... why isn’t root declaring?

probably waiting for a ridiculous 50 overs remaining in the day declaration to make it seem "ODI-ish"

 

[Present Not Past]

Which Australian batsman will the English try to injure today?

 

[eddiesmith]

Boo Smith but stand for street thug. Odd.

Smith found guilty, Stokes not guilty...

Ben stokes what a gun. Wins them a world cup - gives them a good chance to win this 2nd test. Paine has to be the most useless captain this century. Why bring Lyon back whose going at 4 an over. Doesn't know when to review. Getting hammered now.

 

[k31th]

Just put everyone on the fu**en boundary you dumb captain.

if he's hitting sixes, it doesn't much matter.

 

[SSwans2011]

Warner about to be -100 runs for the series. Obviously can't drop him though.

 

[jesterx]

Why are they still out there? dumb from Root

You lose 2 in the change over no?

 

[samFFC]

Lmao, we are a decent chance to chase 180 on this pitch and then you will always be remembered as the captain who threw away the ashes with an idiotic declaration.

As opposed to this - time wasting? Needing way too many runs?
Hitting boundaries slows it down too.

 

[cows]

The fact they aren't declaring is hilarious - just wasting time in the game

 

[dumb]

signal maybe for 300 lead

 

[Wolfs]

48 overs lol.

 

[k31th]

You lose 2 in the change over no?

true... maybe they'll just keep batting? hmmm

 

[showusyacunningt]

I think we finish 4 down max

Weak captaincy from Root

They sure as anything won't drop him with Smith under an injury cloud.

Stokes was very clearly guilty... Not sure Smith was ever caught on camera doing anything illegal. Just happened to turn a blind eye to something that was.

Wonder what names you'd be calling him instead if it was a video of him standing on watching some blokes getting their heads smashed in with bottles and crowbars in a homophobic attack.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Smith found guilty, Stokes not guilty...

You ****en idiot.

 

[Wolfs]

48 overs to bat out maximum

 

[k31th]

266 lead... flogs.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Stupid from root.
Little chance of bowling the Aussies out and a draw helps us retain the ashes, so.....

 

[frankrizzo]

Why bat the over after stokes ton?

 

[SSwans2011]

They sure as anything won't drop him with Smith under an injury cloud.

My post was referencing everyone who was abusing me for daring to suggest he should be dropped lol.

 

[Westend]

well Drs made a hundred today ...well batted

 

[Visions]

Smith found guilty, Stokes not guilty...

Yet everyone saw him cowardly king hit someone. What a hero he is!
