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

[Danish]

I wonder how long (if ever) it will take for the umps to officially warn the poms for excessive appealing??

Only a handful of deliveries this morning and already they've gone off their nut 7-8 times.

 

[Spike]

If Johnson goes cheaply, Clarke will have to protect the tail and bat for a draw

 

[Cletus]

If Johnson goes cheaply, Clarke will have to protect the tail and bat for a draw

I don't think that will work. These two just have to survive the early onslaught and then start looking for runs.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

witht he crowd buzzing it will be a 90 over onslaught no amtte the condition of the ball

 

[Danish]

As long as these 2 can survive the rest of fattie Flintoff's spell they can then start looking for runs.


Tubs should only have another 5-6 overs in him before he needs a pie and a lie down for a couple hours

 

[aussies1st]

Bit worried about Swann bowling to Johnson.

 

[BWNB]

Clarke gone. Swann takes the wicket

 

[Cletus]

Bit worried about Swann bowling to Johnson.

You got that half right. Not a great shot by Clarke.

 

[aussies1st]

Just the way Clarke plays.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

well we fighting for a test match and he gets cocky... hell that dont sound like clarke now does it

 

[Cletus]

Just the way Clarke plays.

True, it was a good innings. Now we just need Johnson to make a century.

 

[El Diablo]

good leave Haurie

 

[BWNB]

Hauritz leaves one and it knocks offstump over.

How many wickets have been taken by just leaving the ball on a good line.

 

[Azkatro]

Deary me that was an horrendous way to get out under the circumstances. How could a batsman of his calibre come out to a spinner, meet the ball before it bounces, and let it go past. Clarke, you gimp!

Now f**king Hauritz is shouldering arms to a reverse swinging Flintoff, now we have to spend the last 20 minutes of this Test match listening to pommy gits bleating about how amazing Flintoff the fat sh*t is!

Or he could clean bowl Hauritz for 1!

 

[Twizzle]

good leave Hauri

 

[AusKnightRKO]

so basically we need johnson to hit 80+ and between Hauritz, Hilfy and siddle get around 90

 

[El Diablo]

Flintoff is a androtop

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Ok so basically Johnson should go all out here or stay calm and hope one of these 2 idiots know how to block

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Three hour glove change.
