2019 2nd Ashes Test - Lords 14-18 August 2019

England have to be joking if they bring Curran in for Denly, you can't bat Stokes at 4. It's as if Warnie's had a huge influence on their selection policy, they're picking the equivalents of Stoinis, Short etc and calling it a batting lineup.

Nice reminder right there. Smith might have pushed past Punter as a batsman, but we don't have anyone near him as a fielder.

I think Maxwell's the best outfielder I've seen, but he's not close to Ponting's level in close.

People have been s**tting on Garry his entire career because he wasn't Shane Warne.

Reminds me of people starting Warnie chants when MacGill was bowling.

I loved Steve Harmison's bowling action.

remember being 5 down and not feeling close to the tail

This is a stupid question but I will ask anyway.

Is their technology now a days to use say ball tracker retrospectivly going off the vision or does it all have to be captured live? It wouldn't mean anything except it would be interesting to see some of the LBWs.

Great question.

I would love to see ball tracking for Adam Gilchrist's dismissal when Harbahjan Singh took his hattrick in 2001

Dunno, maybe a bit like colour painting old B&W movies? Sort of works.

Gilchrist actually struggled along with Martyn up to this point. Then Martyn called time. We all know what Gilly did at the WACA a few days later...

Instead of none down and feeling like the tail is already in.

peak ponting is still my number 1

People forget too easily, Ponting at his best was supreme.
I'm a great fan of Smith but, my vote is with you.

They certainly needed his captaincy, Flintoff seems like a good bloke but was a shithouse leader.

 

[Work Hardery]

Playing in England is like playing in Sydney. No matter what, you're guaranteed at least a session ruined by rain.

Better to watch but smith is more consistent overseas and routinely bails out a pretty rubbish batting line up.

 

[Godallblighty]

Good to see Sam Gamgee getting a bowl.

 

[RearNaked]

Pies get wickets

 

[Kappa]

Poor shot, Paine would've hit that better.

 

[swanssince2002]

I gotta admit there were times where even the golden generation struggled with the bat around the late 90s - early 2000s, getting skittled for under 200. But hey, at least they didn't get knocked over for 60 or 85.

Just back from cricket training. Whats the go?

Won't disagree, but then I still think he should be used as a leggy / batsmen

I dont if play will be possible , but if Root wins the toss he has to bowl first.

It's bloody footy season

We're 7/500, Clarke just got out for 124

I forgot about Simon O'Donnell commentating.
