2nd ASHES TEST: @ Lords Jun 28 - Jul 2nd, 2023

And the new cycle of WTC begins...





Expect Starc to come in for us

Poms to drop Bairstow surely??

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Australia
They'll look at Boland and Hazlewood (fitness). I can see Starc getting a run. No other changes.

England.
Anderson looked knackered. Woods should come in for him or Ollie Knobinson. They won't drop bairstow because they value his batting over his chronic wadeitis. Need a spinner, the young leg spinner would be my pick but he's probably not bazzy enough.

 

[bazza]

Australian bowlers for Lords should be

Cummins
Hazelwood
Starc
Nesser
Boland

in that order - pick the 3 that are 100% fit only

England can go and eat a bag of dicks but need a proper wicketkeeper, some pace bowlers and a spinner

 

[Twizzle]

I agree that England can surely pick a better XI than this lot.

Not sure about Davey, they might give him another run based on his second innings. Thought Boland was too predictable as his line and length are very consistent so makes Bazball easy for the poms, especially the reverse ramp shot as you know where he is gonna pitch the ball and he doesn't have the pace of our other bowlers

 

[Fangs]

We will be close to unchanged. Starc might get a run but its Lords. He was a better fit for the first test. I have Hazlewood, Boland and Neser all ahead of him.

thought the slop and pace of Lord's would be an ok fit for Starc

I will be travelling along the coast of Croatia when this test match is on.

I will be in the right time zone but got absolutely no idea if i will see any of it.

Might be good thing wont have listen to KP and the other English dopes talking.

Losing and winning doesn't matter in bazball.

All that matters is how relaxed you look in the sheds and how much you talk about playing golf.

 

[simmo1]

If Cummins takes 5fa and we win, I'm buying a Tesla.
