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

[A1X]

Bairstow at 3, get Foakes in.

I’d bat Stokes 3 TBH as he has the better technique, Bairstow 6 Foakes 7

 

[Ethelwulf]

Crawley you prick saying we would win by 150 runs needs dropping test average of 27 is dog shit for a opener

 

[Ethelwulf]

After we lose at some point before lunch expect all the we going to win 3-2 from stokes etc with better cricket brains we would be going to Yorkshire next week 2-0 up not 2 down

This Aussie bowling attack is just levels above ours, obviously yes we haven’t helped ourselves but on paper they are simply a much better test match side than us.

Bare in mind they’ve basically taken us apart without Lyon in this game

 

[CHAPPERS]

I think Woakes has to play the next game to shorten the tail a bit

 

[The Wizard]

Game, set and match.

Pretty unplayable that….snorter.

Pretty unplayable that….snorter.

Unplayable? Much as I love Root, it’s well above the stumps and wide, didn’t need to play it.

 

[doogie004]

Un playable or not Baz ball is finished

 

[timbha]

we let the Aussies get their tails up in the first test. They are now so fired up that I fear a very low 2nd innings score c150

 

[dangull]

Roots out and thats the Ashes, I think.

 

[dazzer6666]

Un playable or not Baz ball is finished

Bet it isn’t………unless Ben and Brendan are binned off it’s here to stay

Didn't need to get near it, it was outside off stump chin high.

What about that one then ?

 

[vegster]

The only bloke who could have batted for hours to save us...oh well, just have to win the next 3 Tests. ..oh, there goes another one !

 

[ManOfSussex]

Oh dear.

 

[dazzer6666]

What golf course have the boys booked for tomorrow?

 

[A1X]

This is why giving it away to terrible bowling first time around was so unforgivable, because now they’re bowling absolute jaffas

 

[The Wizard]

What about that one then ?

Missed a straight one

It’s a decent delivery don’t get me wrong but there wasn’t any extravagant movement, this is just proof that the Aussies are better than us.
