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

[lockyno1]

How good was the replay of Adelaide 06 while the rain was on?

So many quality players on both sides. The 06 England team would beat both current teams comfortably, and they got dicked 5 nil.

Having Gilchrist at 7 was almost unfair

Crazy to think that by the end of that Ashes Warne, McGrath, Langer and Martyn were gone.

Within another 12 months Gilly retired too and Gillespie had finished in mid 06.

Half team gone in 12 months. Hayden and Lee by 24 months. Clark not far off either.

No wonder we struggled the past ten years.

A golden generation that won everywhere.

How green is that grass?

Wet bloody weather, England is almost as bad as Melbourne

Nothing is worse than Melbourne weather. NOTHING!

Meanwhile, England should be banned from hosting Test matches due to their weather.

Won the toss and we're bowling. Hope it was the right call.

Bowling, hmmmmmmmmm. Normally i think it is a negative move but in this case i think it is a positive one.

This is the trouble with having a manufactured captain.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Is it even legal to win the toss an bowl first?

The old saying was when you win the toss and think about bowling you bat first anyway. But with a day washed out and 2 days might be lost we are chasing the game. Also it will still only be a day 4 deck on the last day.

It’s un Australian

It’s un Australian

Not when Steve Waugh was skipper.

England would be shitting themselves with the prospect of having to face Siddle.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Every game in the last Ashes Series in England was won in 4 day or less,this could be the blunder of the century from Tim Paine

 

[Eelectrica]

Our bowlers get that all important extra days rest going into the third test.

[hineyrulz]
