[Cricket] The Ashes- England v Australia- 2nd Test, Lords, June 28 - July 02, 2023

[The Wizard]

Brook is going to get out very soon, mark my words.

 

[A1X]

If England batted with their brains rather than their egos they’d walk this series

 

[Eeyore]

They've left 90 degrees of the field vacant on the offside ready for Brook's baseball efforts. There might just be a reason for that Harry. A top edge spends a lot of time in the sky...

Harry Brook, the Trent Alexander-Arnold of Test cricket. Won't defend, but occasionally does wonders in attack.

I'm tempting fate here, but Stokes is batting well at present.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Geez - could easily have been caught there

Brook dropped by Labuschagne on 25 #lucky

Ouch! The bus change will feel that for a few days.

Aussies on back foot,

I thought he dropped that. Either way England have been pretty poor against this short pitched bowling.

Didn't think his fingers were under ball. Replays appeared to show ball hitting ground!

 

[Questions]

What is Stokes injury ?

 

[Is it PotG?]

What is Stokes injury ?

He keeps getting clobbered by short stuff

 

[Titanic]

What is Stokes injury ?

Knee

 

[Questions]

Knee

Ta….. if he struggles to score runs and can’t bowl properly would anyone suggests he takes a break, I’m only asking don’t shoot me down.

 

[KZNSeagull]

278-4 at stumps. Stokes calmed things down surprisingly!

 

[Titanic]

355 runs in the day, and 9 wickets. Pity about the over rate.

 

[Mackenzie]

England win the first two sessions. Australia win the last.

Australia lead 4-2 on sessions. We're still behind but have caught up today.

 

[andys320]

Another day of great test cricket.

 

[A1X]

England’s day but a huge missed opportunity, they could be walking in 290-1 with Root and Duckett in and set

Is Todd Murphy in the squad ? I assume he'll come in if so.

No First Class cricket leading up. But that's tours these days.

Won't be any let up though. He's quality.
