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

[Jason Maher]

HAH looked significantly more comfortable in that over. He is getting his eye in.

Now that Khawaja and Hughes have both got through the nervous little period right at the start hopefully they can make the most of it.

HAH looked significantly and comfortably out in that over.

So Watson places enormous pressure on us yet again and we begin to crumble. It's like clockwork.

So it is Watson's fault that Rogers misses a straight one and Hughes can't play spin!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So will the test go into a fifth day? I'm putting my $10 on no.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

I just hope Khawaja survives as long as he can now and makes some sort of runs to build some self confidence. Playing for a win or draw is put of the equation, remaining players should play for themselves and their pride.

 

[unbreaK]

Are you ashamed to be Australian yet?

I would be.. but then I remember what it's like for the poor souls living in 3rd world countries like England.

You do know that you Poms are the only team to have ever been beaten 5 nil in a five test series??? Johnny come lately spastic.

No. It's Watson's fault that England gets their tails-up early.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Well that's no good.

If the umpire gave it not out it would have stayed not out. Stupid system.

You're special.

Hughes is utterly hopeless and the worst player of spin ive ever seen.

What's that now against India's spinners and Swann combined?

About 6 runs from 600 balls for 8 dismissals? Something like that.

During the day I get to interact with some quality Pommy trolling.

Then at night I get LR.

It's like walking out of a Mensa meeting into a Victorian kindergarten class.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Prior with a Scissorhands effort there.

 

[8Ball]

Prior's had a pretty ordinary series...

 

[undertaker]

why are you talking about the 2006/07 series for?

:lol:

 

[Tommy Smith]

I can't believe you all keep taking LR's bait.

So much fail.

Just stop feeding him lol Simple.

Bait???? You offer up bait, LR is just a dopey spastic.

 

[BunniesMan]

Swann is so average against right handers. Think he averages well over 40 against them.

 

[Jason Maher]

Why would I be ashamed of the nation that has produced Border, Taylor, Boon, Jones, the Waugh twins, Hayden, Ponting, Langer, Gilchrist, Healy, Clarke, Martyn, Lehman, Symonds, Bevan, McDermott, Hughes, Warne, McGrath, Gillespie, Lee, Fleming, Reiffell, Bichel, MacGill. That's an incomplete list of players I spent two decades watching whip all comers. So what if we're in a slump at the moment? We'll come good again, at which times LeedsWanker will be nowhere to be seen.

We beat West Indies 5-0 in 2000/01

 

[hineyrulz]

We beat West Indies 5-0 in 2000/01

I meant in the Ashes mate, if we add in the Windies the Poms were beat 5 zip by the Windies two series in a row in the mid 80's :lol:

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Australia can only talk about the glory days when they're weren't embarrassing themselves, they can't get out of the past, just accept you're not very good at sport anymore.

Stick to surfing, chur bros.

 

[Jason Maher]

At least I can write a simple English sentence without embarrassing myself.
