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

[SHAKESPEARE]

can we just forfeit please

Agree with Nas, time for the new ball.

I think our bowlers have stopped caring right now.

They were bound to join the batters eventually.

And everyone is wondering why test cricket is getting shitter Australia. Calling a ton from 250 balls a shit/boring knock.

Not a boring knock necessarily.. he is just a boring player who has no real weapons to his game. Should have been gone on 10 no doubt. Would rather watch a player of bell's class over him anyday

 

[Zach Package]

Come on! You would love Rogers to do the same.

Good on him and all but it's far from the safest hundred i've ever seen

 

[Doodlesweaver]

so?
i'm just saying he is a crab and that ton was very lucky/boring to watch.

eng are an average cricket team. a great cricket team would have pushed on and be bowling right now. eng are still scared of us. its a bit weird. i guess thats what 20 yrs of hurt does to you

It's Day 3.

I hate watching batsmen who should have been given out make runs

England have no reason to do anything other than bat. The only weird thing is the content of your posts!

I'd be happy if Australia's whole innings could last out 250 balls, never mind one player doing it.

Tests can be won in 3 days. Australia proved that more than a few times.

You sound like a typical Aussie. Go watch 20/20 cricket. Not surprised you're such a miserable sook being a norf fan either.

 

[simon1976]

It has been littered with edges and plays and misses

He's still not out though.

on a pitch thats doing **** all
with a massive lead!
context my friend
eng have no balls..
root is a crab..

and we are terrible.

England are doing what they should do. Sure it's pretty boring for a non Englishman that they're scoring so slowly in these conditions but its fine.

 

[ZeroGlass]

Australia - all out for 128
A kid who buys his pubes from Scott Tenorman - 106*

I think thats the difference between Australia and England, concentration/patience. The ability to bat long times.

 

[mansize rooster]

i love test cricket
i cant stand 20/20
but in the context of the game i think eng are playing gutless cricket.
shane warne would agree.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Would rather watch Watto review an lbw.

The good news is you'll probably get to do that later on.

 

[Mateyman]

Yeah, so was Johnson Charles when he scored 100 vs us in a ODI earlier in the year. Didn't make it a good knock. One of the worse 100s I've seen

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Wow biggest windows of some type in the UK.

The Long Room just one step form the morgue.

Shane Watson says hello

 

[headache1]

I'm finding this window talk absolutely riveting.

Must stay awake!! Will these campaigners just declare and get this over. FFS when we were good we had the decency to beat a team inside 2.5-3 days so they could get back to training and improve.

Nothing worse than watching a offspinner bowling negatively.
