2nd ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Lords, July 16-20, 2009

[eddiesmith]

Thats why, the rule was only for 2 overs from memory. Or maybe it was 10 minutes.

Ah ok then, I thought it was a couple more

 

[Bazal]

Well we have Clark over there :roll:

Yeah, mind boggling that he's on the f**king sidelines while Johnson is bowling rubbish and Siddle is lacking penetration....

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh sh*t Hughes out, bit unlucky a glove down the legside.

 

[fish eel]

The time limit is 15 minutes, if you're off the field that long you have to wait to bowl

 

[Spike]

f*ck ponting not offering a shot

 

[Bazal]

Oh sh*t Hughes out, bit unlucky a glove down the legside.

Especially unlucky given it looked as though there was a good chance he didn't touch it...not much on hot spot either tbh

 

[munge]

How quickly the ashes have turned. Thing about cricket is it only takes 1 or 2 guys, and England definetly have the players so as bad as they were in Test 1, it doesnt matter, its 0-0 and they are right on top here. Australia are going to have to bat as good as they have in a long time to get out of this.

Definately gloved it.

Correct decision.

 

[Red Bear]

Johnson did not deserve 3 wickets he was disgustingly bad. f**king hate watching bowlers like him bowl. Bring Clark in the side.

Now lets see if the mighty Kat can get more runs.

 

[Ridders]

Am i the only one that is amazed that Johnson has been able to pick up so many wickets in his short career thus far despite being such a raw bowler? If he could ever put it together he would be something special.

 

[fish eel]

Definately gloved it.

Correct decision.

Yeah, I thought it was quite clear on the replay they showed from behind Hughes that he gloved it as it went past. The hotshot replay was front on which may be why it didnt show up.

 

[munge]

Johnson has had 1 good series in his career. Last summer he bowled 1 good spell against South Africa at Perth and then had a very average series.

In South AFrica, he was brilliant to give him his due, as was every other quick.

 

[Spike]

Ponting out

2/10

 

[hineyrulz]

Ponting out, we are in trouble.

 

[Ridders]

Was there an edge there?

 

[fish eel]

I can't believe Rudi had to check that carried.

I also can't believe he thought Ponting hit it. Anderson certainly didn't. He was screaming for the LBW as was Prior.

LBW call was close though.

 

[Bazal]

No edge, but really it was just a matter of deciding how he was out...if he edges it he's caught, he didn't but he was still dead in front

 

[Spike]

Given out for the wrong reason. He was LBW

 

[Ridders]

The ball was swinging alot when it hit him. No way Rudi would have given that for LBW, even if it was close.

 

[Broncodr01d]

Hussey's chance to turn his slump around and save our ass here. I will be cheering him on for the majority of tonight (with hope).
