Second Ashes Test - Lords

Re: Second Ashes Test - Lords

Can I drop the channel 9 cheerleading team. Specifically I cite M. Taylor and Healy when reviewing the Haddin dropped catch at various times then say, (when back live) "oh, but he took that one really well did Haddin" ... Referring to a simple take off the quicks down leg side...

They spent about 5 minutes analysing how & why he dropped the catch and spoke about poor footwork etc. How much more did you want them to belt Haddin around for?

So, does Neville bat at 6 and Marsh at 7? Long tail.

I actually would go that way but I think they will be conservative and have the keeper at 7. Either way, I don't think it's that long a tai. Nevill averaged 76 at Shield level last year. Mitch Marsh averages 37 at test level. Either way I think Mitch Marsh is a both a better bat and bowler than Watson.

Starc's injury and the retirement of Harris does mean we lose depth in our tail though.

Starc's fit to play.

Awesome news re Starc. Weather report from London this morning is grey and breezy. Rain possible late in the day or evening. I'm heading off around 9am London time to aim to be at Lords just after 10am. Looking forward to a great day's cricket.

Re: Second Ashes Test - Lords

Dave Warner has played an extremely dumb shot to throw his wicket away.

So disappointing for him to grind out a start and then in misplaced bravado throw the bat on 38.

David Warner HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME

Re: Second Ashes Test - Lords

Warner just can't help himself can he?

Re: Second Ashes Test - Lords

Has anyone seen a worse shot considering the circumstance?

Re: Second Ashes Test - Lords

My god that was dumb. DUMB...

I'm sick of stupidity with this team. There's aggression and then there's trying to hit every ball for 6 off a bloke just starting...

We work so hard to keep opposition teams in the game. *!*!*!*! me!!

Re: Second Ashes Test - Lords

It wasn't like he hadnt already punished Ali either, he had 10 from the over. Makes absolutely no sense, Adam Gilchrist wouldn't have played it like that so the 'natural game' line is nonsense

Re: Second Ashes Test - Lords

I just sms'd a mate and said there will be an idiotic shot played.
Surprise shock horror .
Totally insane cricket
