2nd Ashes Test: England v Australia, Lord's July 18-22.

Cricinfo comment: "Lead is 404: Australia not found!"

Must admit that's pretty funny....

 

[gazzathegreat]

hopefully we get the new ball before Roots 100

 

[rideclutch]

Do you think he'll risk it?

Actually, he probably will. Even if the chance to punch Root presented itself, Haddin wouldn't take it.

He'd hesistate first, then probably take a wild swing and gently clip the side of his head.

Just how - OFF THE FOOTAGE - the umpire wouldn't be 100 percent sure it was out.

Well, clearly he wasn't!

It seems to me that the role of third umpire needs to be looked at. It doesn't need to be done by someone who is a good on-field umpire, it needs to be done by someone with a good grasp of the technology - its strengths and its limitations. It's a specialised role, why don't we have specialists doing it?

[Renegade]

ROOTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant!!!!

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Well that's it for me then, was only staying up in the hope Root wouldn't make the ton.

 

[Zach Package]

Ian, give brad your bat and let him raise it you flog

 

[rideclutch]

I love Agar, but that was some real shithouse bowling to a bloke getting bogged in the 90's.

Anyway, well done Rooty

 

[nickrebellious]

Thanks Haddin.

 

[simon1976]

Good lad, century for Root.

 

[mansize rooster]

1/103 from 247 rocks
most boring player since trott

this english team is average at best. we are terrible

[Plugger35]

Well played Root lad, on ya bike son / Bumble

 

[VirgilHilts]

And that takes him level with Shane Watson. Proper landmark stuff.

Watched him drag out a ton....after watching the Pies lose to the Suns. How's your weekend been mate?

Cruel bastards just wanna prolong the inevitable IMO.

Bit embarassing to be on the same level as Watto.
