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

[OffTheBit]

Anyone else think Athers sounds a little bit nervous with the way Australia has come out and not tried to block out a draw?

 

[Richard Pryor]

Bancroft has already surpassed my expectations of him.

How many overs left in the day ?

45 overs.. need 250

 

[LouderNowBlue]

A lot of poms made it to day 5 in this thread for this test. Can’t recall seeing you here on day 5 of the last one?

 

[bixente]

Bancroft retains the strike. Annoying.

 

[A Pom]

"The prosecution said a fractured eye socket and a broken tooth was the result of being punched to the floor by Stokes. It was a blow allegedly witnessed by off-duty police officer Mark Spure who said he rushed over to help Ali who was unable to move and left with blood pouring down his face.
Corsellis told the court: “The violence that erupted could actually have stopped very quickly and it would have remained a relatively minor incident. But during the incident Mr Stokes lost his control and started to attack with revenge, retaliation or punishment in mind. He knocked Mr Hale unconscious and then, enough time to pause for thought, did the same for Mr Ali.”


Yea.. but BUT STUVE SMITH KNEW SOMEONE RUBBED A BALL WITH PAPER

Way worse than smashing a guys face in outside a pub... fools.

The bloke who's job it was to try and prove Stokes was guilty said he was guilty? Well I never.

The selective statements conveniently miss out the first blokes violent homophobic attack and the that he went away and returned with another weapom and the fact the second guy was in the process of strangling Stokes (who was walking away from the fight) just before getting knocked out.

What do you think about that? Worse than what Smith did and by how much?

One was a single stupid act whilst drunk and legal in the eyes of the law

The other was a planned, calculated act of cheating that had been going on for god knows how long.
