[Cricket] Second Ashes Test - England vs Australia - Lords

[Hillian1]

I strongly suggest that you put subtitles on while watching.

Some of it is so far off what is being said its brilliant, first ball today the commentator said "immediately a run this morning"
Subtitle "in media clique morning" correction "I went run morning"

Certainly better than watching the cricket.

Time for us all to do a rain dance me thinks. Could always hope for a century each for Cook and Bell that would use a lot of overs.

 

[Titanic]

Warner 83 , Smith 58 and now Clarke + Marsh piling on the runs... 210-2 (43 overs), leading by 464 and counting. Declaration with a MASSIVE lead just after lunch seems most likely.

 

[Titanic]

Clarke chooses to have a sneaky couple of overs before lunch... Australia declare on 254-2, leading by 508.

65 overs left today and 90 tomorrow.

History in the making.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Nice move from Clarke, although it could backfire as Lyth will be feeling on top of the world at lunch if he can actually survive 10 minutes at the crease.

 

[Billy the Fish]

100 runs a session, that's gettable.

Come on England, this is doable!

 

[Billy the Fish]

I think our batsman are so good that they got out on purpose in the first innings to lure the aussies into a false sense of security, making them declare too early and set a RIDICULOUSLY low total with a day and a half left. If Cook and Lythe both get BIG hundreds, I reckon we'll do this.

Lunch Day 4

England 7-0 (3 overs)

Lyth 2* Cook 5*

Just 502 left to WIN.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

England should win this then. By eight wickets I reckon. Root and Cook to score double centuries

 

[Mackenzie]

Lyth

Poor test match from Lyth. Is this really the best opener we've got?

Not just him ! Bell looks a shadow of himself this match.

 

[albion1972]

Ffs cook out why can't top order get a good start.Bell under pressure

 

[Mackenzie]

Not just him ! Bell looks a shadow of himself this match.

Bairstow waiting in the wings.

 

[albion1972]

Bell nearly out twice in first 2 balls bloody lucky

 

[El Presidente]

Ed Balls, regardless of your views of his politics, is an entertaining guest on TMS.

 

[maltaseagull]

We won't last the day at this rate! I cannot see our batsmen recovering from this thrashing and this sort of performance will continue for the rest of the series. They have the momentum and confidence and we have neither.

Going to be a long series for our lads

 

[fleet]

Trouble with the batting is having an opener and 3 and 4 all out of form - Balance looks poor and Bell way out of touch. That's 3 wickets that fall too easily and with Cook gone we will struggle to get a modest total, never mind 500.

Well, I think that went well ?........ my predictions are as bad as yours !
