[Cricket] England vs Australia Second Ashes Test - Lord's 14th-18th August 2019

[LamieRobertson]

If Smith is out today they should sort a replacement batsman to go in later.

Why?.

Edit...just seen it’s in the rules

Smith's concussion substitute will be Marnus Labuschagne, who can bat, bowl, and field in this match.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Indeed - they can **** right off.

They've surrendered the right to claim any moral high ground (not that they had it anyway, quite frankly) for quite some time.

Indeed.....that statement reminds me of Warne going on about how we should show sympathy for “all he’s gone through over the past year”....WTF

 

[Eeyore]

Why?

The Aussies can lodge a request for an active replacement as the concussion rules allow this.

A like for like replacement. So basically a batsman.

But, failing the test this morning may put Smith out of eligibilities for the next match.

 

[Titanic]

It pitched outside leg, and he hit it

Review WASTED.

113-4, lead 121

I completely agree and will continue to give Smith and (in particular) Warner DOGS abuse whenever I see them play.

However, even I draw the line at booing Smith when he's taken a 90+ mph one to the neck. Just glad he wasn't seriously injured.

Of course I hope he's injured enough to not play again in the series though. The cheating ****.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Anyway. Let's get a 200+ lead and put them in for 50 overs. Without the shuffling cheat we can skittle them! C'mon England.

Would love to see us try to bash it about after lunch for an hour or so then stick them in......got to be worth a punt with Smith out of the way

Anyone booing an injured player in those circumstances should look at themselves.
Very poor show, I reckon.

 

[BensGrandad]

With the news that Smith is out at what lead should we declare in an attempt to get ther victory needed?

 

[Frankie]

Without Wilf they are bang average so anything over 230 will do

 

[The Wizard]

England won’t risk losing this game, probably bat till tea then declare so they can act like they’ve at least attempted to win, absolutely nailed on draw.

 

[The Wizard]

2 men out there and Buttler attempts that shot, daft.

 

[BensGrandad]

Another quick 100 will put the game beyond Australia and they wont chase it.

 

[The Wizard]

Aw the sandpaper brigade are outraged by that ball tracking

 

[jakarta]

Oh dear, no reviews left,what a shame...

 

[jakarta]

Vaughan reckons England only need 225-30 before declaring, can't remember him captaining like that!

 

[Eeyore]

I think England want 45 or 50 overs at Australia. So they need to push 250 plus very quickly.

Pleased they have been a bit more aggressive then I thought they would be. Right to ensure the draw first but giving ourselves a chance.

100 up, well played Ben Stokes, hopefully tee off for 4-5 overs!
