[Cricket] England vs India Second Test - Lord's

[One Teddy Maybank]

Its a bit optimistic replacing Malan with Pope...not sure if it will come off.

If he can hold a catch he’ll be an improvement.

Hopefully score more than 30 runs each innings regularly

From CricInfo......

2.24pm Miller reckons we could have play at around 4:30pm, if "this band of rain does the decent thing and veers to the east."

Pitch inspection @ 16:50

As if anybody cares, play abandoned today.

 

[BensGrandad]

Close no play today.

Well that was a waste of getting up at 4.40, picking up the uncle in law (MCC member) and queuing from 6am to get excellent seats.

Still, got a picture of my daughter with Athers; caught up with a good mate for first time in ages - his first ever cricket match - then got absolutely sozzled as the rain fell and fell and fell.


Now home and settling down for sleep before doing it all again tomorrow.

Still at least a 100% refund for today.

If England can get 30 overs or so in here this match could swing massively in England's favour today. The ball is moving all over the place...

The latest info is that play will resume at 12:45 BST and lunch will be taken at 13:45.

 

[BensGrandad]

Skittle them out for a low score and hope the sun shines to dry the wicket out to provide a better batting wicket for us.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Cricket is an odd game, when in many instances the result is strongly influenced by the toss of a coin.

You still have to perform, agreed, but Lady Luck has a major impact.

Pissing it down again, heaviest it's been all day according to cricinfo.

The forecast is very depressing. Be pleasantly surprised if we get any more play today unfortunately.
