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

[HODGEYROAD]

It'll start raining again before any play can get under way, think days 2 and 5 are the only ones with a decent forecast, this test is a dead duck I'm afraid.

 

[HBF]

Unfortunately not I have things planned for tomorrow now.

How annoying

 

[Crankitup]

Yeah in a series we lost

Wasn't his fault.

 

[deanc]

Ah well, bed soon and up at 5am for Liverpool v Chelsea.
Won't have to suffer through S Smith making 140+ irritating runs!

And of course he will irresponsibly throw his wicket away again in the 140's, not sure how he is still in the team really....
Moreover Geoff Boycott (who can see past the end of his bed) has also said Smith has a deplorable technique and can't even run between the wickets properly, so there you have it...

 

[ChappyUK]

Not raining where I am (about 10 min away for Lord's) and hasn't been for the last little while. Hoping the weather holds off like it is at the moment

There is a small gap in the radar but it's going to rain all day.

Yeah the forecast looks shocking.

 

[cows]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

* the English weather

 

[Crankitup]

I’m assuming we must have won that series...

Oh wait...

So what's your point? The series loss is on the back of one man? Or are you saying any Australian player involved in that series shouldn't be playing in this one?

Not great for us if true considering our record at Lords historically.

Another beautiful English summer

From one suffering to another.
Fat Frank tactical masterclass incoming....

I’m saying the makeup of the attack didn’t work last time, and neither did the batting. It was time to change both, we have.

 

[ChappyUK]

fu** the English weather

It's actually been a really good summer.

 

[Keg on legs]

Did i just hear the name of the former groundsman's nsme correctly

 

[Pykie]

Have they done the toss and named the teams at least?

The games officially started.

England have won 2 of the last 3,im not sure victories in the 40s and 50s matter too much.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

If we were 1-0 down in the series it'd not be raining, would be overcast and England would be bowling first.
Broad would have ripped through us.

Just like Old Trafford 2013. Rain coming to the poms aid.

 

[BG32]

Got him, that’s out

 

[010203]

Listen to Thommo....

 

[Hai_Newman]

Captain Cook: "this place looks like a s**t hole. Let's send our dregs here."

Poms: "Uwotm8?"


Hai_Newman ?

Might drop into my Dr's for a skin check and a liver condition report, such is the pressure of a great life we face.

 

[Supersuns]

How annoying

I am not overly happy.

 

[Kappa]

Fantastic.. 2 hours of listening to Healy and his partner... Could this get any worse

 

[grumbleguts]

Lords England should never host another test. Disgraceful anti-climax.

Fixed it for you.

 

[DaRick]

England have won 2 of the last 3,im not sure victories in the 40s and 50s matter too much.

In 2015 they got belted though.

We also won one in 2010 against Pakistan I believe?
