2019 ASHES: 2nd Test Australia v England, Lords Aug 14-18

[hineyrulz]

What a knock by an absolute champion. At least the members aren't total cretins.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Cleary not all with it after that knock. Courageous to come back out there

Too busy booing his cat

After it refused to be finger banged.

Is his cat white?
If so, racist.

 

[Haffa]

The GOAT is going to tonk these non racial demographics.

well, Australia have done very well to peg the deficit back to 24 runs before Smith's dismissal. Even if there's no more rain, I don't think there's enough time for England to set a winning target and bowl Australia out (also not enough deterioration in the pitch for England to exploit due to washout on day 1 and barely much play on day 3).

And yes, I do believe Smith has concussion after watching a replay of that wicket. Looked like he was in a mini-sleepwalk and dazed as to where the ball was.

Jason Roy should be arrested for impersonating a Test Cricketer

Say what you want about Kohli, but that's a bloke who showed some real leadership in the Steve Smith booing situation.

No chance of Ellen Degeneres doing the same, would be too afraid of being disliked.

This will be a draw

If Root was bounced like that, he'd have burst into tears and retired from the sport

We knew this was almost certain on Wednesday

 

[Hutty1986]

This will be a draw

Aussies would gleefully take that you'd think. But still a lot of time left in this...

I must have missed Smith stopping you lot booing Broad.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Steve Smith is absolutely the most scrumptious little weirdo to ever step foot on Lords the home of the boo

 

[blaza88z]

Broad got hit and the ball got stuck in the grill, he hasn't been anywhere near the batter he once was (and he use to be quite alright)

 

[blaza88z]

I must have missed Smith stopping you lot booing Broad.

Broad blatantly cheated though, he basically guided it to slips like they do in the pre-match warm ups and hung around like he didn't hit it

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Steven God Smith has an English mother apparently.

Reckon the ECB might try and poach him too since all their own batsmen are f**king useless?

IMO, Australia have chewed up enough overs and are currently close enough to England's first innings total to at least secure a draw. They've lasted much longer thanks to Smith and some handy lower-order contributions from Paine and Cummins. When Wade got out earlier, I thought Australia would've crumbled but they're putting up a strong fight here.

 

[Pommy]

Broad blatantly cheated though

Seriously that’s what you’re going with?
