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

[aussies1st]

Geez is only we didn't bowl so crap yesterday.

 

[fish eel]

if we're chasing sub 400, I reckon we have our noses in front given the first 2 sessions yesterday.

Great fightback

 

[TheParraboy]

wicket seems to have more movement and pace about it, conditions overcast, good news for the poms, they got the runs on the board, this isnt cardiff we wont be getting near 600, nor near 500 runs I dont think

 

[aussies1st]

Hilfy you star

Agreed, at 2 for 250 it was looking ugly.

If only Ponting could captain and didnt f**k up the opening session with his strange bowling decisions, but thankfully he always will f**k it up and it will keep the series alive

 

[aussies1st]

Just great, Johnson going to gift England 500 now.

 

[hineyrulz]

Johnson still bowling poo.......

 

[aussies1st]

Lets just give them 500.

 

[Ridders]

This has been a great comeback. I thought our chances of winning this test were done after Strauss and Cook ate our bowling attack up.

 

[hineyrulz]

Johnson wasting all of Hilfy's good work....

 

[eddiesmith]

When did they change the laws that said if a bowler is off the field for only a couple of overs they still have to be back out that long untill they can bowl?

I'm sure they used to be able to be off for a few overs and be allowed to bowl straight away

 

[aussies1st]

Didn't even know they changed that.

 

[hineyrulz]

sh*tchell finally gets Anderson after getting a caning. Hilfy deserved a 5 for. And Jonhson bowls like a drain but picks up 3.

 

[Ridders]

Apart from that first wicket stand we've done fairly well. Just need to figure out how to take England's last wicket alot cheaper.

 

[Spike]

lol Flukey Johnson does it again

 

[eddiesmith]

Didn't even know they changed that.

Twice this test Siddle has gone off for 3-4 overs and not been allowed to bowl

 

[aussies1st]

Twice this test Siddle has gone off for 3-4 overs and not been allowed to bowl

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

I think it's been like that for a few years tbh...



Anyways, Hilfy is deadset carrying this attack. Johnson has been atrocious and Siddle has had his moments but been mostly ineffective...what I wouldn't give for Dougy Bollinger to be over there
