Certified Legendary Thread 2nd Ashes Test England v Australia June 28-July 2 1930hrs @ Lords

We need to tire them out, set them a chase of 400 around 30 minutes before end of day 4. Bat at 2 an over and grind these guys into the dust

 

[Joffaboy]

If this is how these jokers respond to short stuff on a docile pommy pitch, can you imagine them trying this bazball garbage on Aussie pitches?
My God I would fear for them in Perth.

Baz ball looks pea hearted when the wicket isn't a road

Or the oppo isn't Ireland.

 

[RandB]

Getting Stokes early today really has set us up here.

 

[ptrg]

All hail captain Pat ..

Yeah he’s got the natural mascara look like that guy from Bates motel

We're batting under cloudy skies again

it is summer in England..

 

[Altum Volantes]

What's the odds the poms go the short stuff?

I’m not sure Broad knows what country he’s in, could work to our advantage.

 

[Jimmy#17]

Jeez. Watching the replay of the wickets look like watching 4th grade. I guess that is BazBall, brilliant when it comes of and looks shocking if it doesn't.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Heady now rocking a 28.78 average with the ball.

Allrounders everywhere

I was surprised yesterday to see Smith averages 53 with the ball.

 

[sherb]

5 wicket sesh.
Great stuff Aussies

Six now in fact.

 

[kickazz]

Great session Australia. The markets at the start of play had about 450 as a par score for England. Good stuff.

 

[Andrew Mc]

What's the odds the poms go the short stuff?

Root might.

A few of them would pack their bags and go home mid series again

It is literally only effective on roads. You’re right it would be hopelessly blown away in Perth, but it would be equally ineffective on those raging turners the Australians faced in India.

 

[Santana]

of a morning. Couldn't have asked for more

Bats need to capitalize on this. Bat 4 sessions at least. Need this game with goat out now

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

WTF was that Brook shot hahahahahahahahaha

Spud can't play the short ball

back in the old days anyway

Medium pace short balls? Bring it on!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

How long we got till lunch, just hope we play it safe and nothing stupid, we got a real opportunity now.

 

[Cringle]

England are probably congratulating eachother in the rooms for putting on a show

 

[Iceman!]

England have won the toss twice, had the best of the overhead conditions had our spinner go down injured, were fortunate to have Ali get 'injured'.

Yet down 1-0 and trailing by 100 in this test.

 

[Gough]

Got a chance to go a long way to winning thew Ashes if we can have a couple of good sessions here.

 

[Plugger35]

England always turn to shite at Lord's against the Aussies.

The lack of the Barmy Army at Lord's hurts them, they are like England's 12th man at their other test grounds.

 

[Peter Bixley]

What's the odds the poms go the short stuff?

Probably quite likely. The difference is, their bowlers are a bit slower and hopefully our batsmen won't take the bait.

 

[Kuuz]

What England bowling attack comes out - Day 1 England or Day 2 England?

 

[84859300]

I’m not sure Broad knows what country he’s in, could work to our advantage.

He'll most likely end up open the bowling
