2ND ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Lord's Jul 18-22, 2013

[BunniesMan]

Can Shane Watson play to his potential for one of the few times in his life?

 

[BunniesMan]

Edged for 4. 145 more of those and we win.

 

[vvvrulz]

Watson will flay a few pretty shots and then disappear quickly along with a review.

 

[BDR]

It's been a nightmare of a match, but it's still important we go about this 4th innings with a bit of determination. The match may be all but over but there are 8 more matches in the double series. Restore a bit of confidence FFS.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

FFS it was obvious he was letting him get his double century and judging by the shit he played there was a time limit.

Watson channeling his inner Haddin.

The official CA twitter:

@CricketAus 9s Australia require 3.37 runs per over to win. Five from the first. No need to rush.

Exactly. Big difference between if we get 150 or 350. Between all of the top 6 failing or at least a couple getting big scores.

Could have a big effect on the next 8 tests.

When was the last time the top 6 batted so well that we didn't have to rely on the tail ?

 

[BunniesMan]

Strauss making some good points about how often captains waste fielders.

 

[Y2Eel]

We end the day at 0 for 280...

The Sri Lanka series at least.

 

[Matagascar]

600 in ~2 days isn't exactly impossible, but we're definitely playing for the draw. Draw is paying around $10...

 

[hineyrulz]

The Sri Lanka series at least.

Runs against that popgun attack mean SFA.

 

[BunniesMan]

More than 2% of the way there.

 

[BunniesMan]

hahaha I think Watto is listening to the commentators. His first shot behind square on the leg side for the entire series minutes after they bring it up.

Runs against that popgun attack mean SFA.

Alright then, back to the test we won against SA.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Watson approaching the nervous 20's

 

[hineyrulz]

Watson approaching the nervous 20's

:lol:

 

[BunniesMan]

I see it. I don't believe it.

 

[aussies1st]

OMG he didn't review it.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

What?!! No review?
