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

[Santana]

What are the rules with players being off the ground and when they can come into bat? I'm confused now

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Amazing the Poms aren't starting with Tongue/Broad..... Anderson and Wobinson are cooked

Steve Smith has the chance to join George Headley, Graham Gooch and Michael Vaughan in scoring a century in both innings of a test match at Lord's.

Reassuring to know neither Smith nor Ussie are going to try to guide a short bowl going down leg over extra cover.

I love their calmness and patience. Not feeling like they're going to throw it away. They have a game plan, method and ability to execute over a long inning. Proper batting

 

[Around the Wicket]

When they get in a dominate position via Bazball they need to know when to scale it back. 1/190 to all out 325 is pathetic.

Bowling them while there's some movement. They'll be useless when the sun comes out

 

[Hamingja]

If they aren't going to give assistance to bowlers this series I don't know how you can select a 128km/h bowler in Robinson

I am amazed at his stats

 

[Headless]

Bit of movement.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I am amazed at his stats

Slow bowlers like him on green tracks and over cast conditions are tough as it comes but on roads there useless

Think they said there is minimum number of overs

You know England are bowling on a flat deck without a spinner too so if your saying it’s an issue for Australia to defend a score without one how are England meant to keep the score at a minimum.

...what?

 

[troybe]

Perfect Uz

nicely leant on by Khawaja down the ground

It'd be amazing to sit on that Lord's balcony just once and watch a day's play.

 

[Foucault1989]

Beautiful. So graceful. What an elegant batsmen

 

[FullyBigKPro]

So elegant is Uzzie....

 

[Plugger35]

Nas and Athers are great, always loved the English games with Bumble, Gower and Beefy to it was just a good mix and they didn’t talk for the sake of it like they do on Aus commentary.

Bob Willis was great too, no one could tear into the England team as well as he could after a bad performance.

 

[11kgm]

I really hope we get to see Neser next test would be a handy number 8

 

[The hands of stone]

How fast do local cricketers average? 115 - 120? Would there be any local cricketers bowling 130 - 140

Depending on the comp you would get rare one getting to 130kph and a bit , they dont maintain the pace though .

Most would find Robinson rapid . Anderson/Broad were lightening

Love a good overcast day at Lords

Here comes the sun

 

[10Dulkar]

Beautiful shot.

Duckett looks hilarious* crouching down at leg slip/gully. Reminds me of when Eoin Morgan used to sit on the toilet when batting in ODIs.

*and I'm only 5'5" myself.

It's so small up there. Great view but tiny. I'm a bit afraid of heights and you feel very exposed

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Sun is out, can you believe it

Aaaaand it's gone
