ASHES 2013: SECOND TEST - LORDS

  Would have missed the stumps by a good couple of inches.
  
  Are we feeling sorry for the Aussies there? Gentleman's sport and all that, but still...

  A Gentleman's sport indeed, but so is fox hunting and grouse shooting lol, better we smash the opposition in whatever way we can...
  
  And it would have been even better if they could catch in the slips!!!... and again as I write, the umpire gives Phil Hughes out with a small outside edge, but he reviews it, and this time he looks justified, but the decision is upheld - 53 for 3 , very nice indeed....

  They really need to get better at reviews. How many left now?

  Nah, I like it as they are, rubbish at it lol... and snicko has just proved that there was an slight edge...
  
  That's it mate, you only get 2 reviews, and they've now wasted both - nada, zippo, zilch left.
  
  and another close one, with a run out, but he's in his ground...
  
  The DRS certainly is proving a talking point so far, or rather the Aussies piss poor use of it.

  Smacks of desperation for me. Surely Hughes would have felt something, even if it was only a slight nick?
  
  Seems like they're using it as a get-out-of-jail card rather than as a fall-back for when they feel genuinely aggrieved by a decision.
  
  Can't fool the tech though, can you?

  You would think, and most people agree that you do know if you've hit it, but on occasions maybe not, even Clarke mentioned in the last test he didn't think he nicked his???
  
  and sweet, another wicket, a skyed ball and an easy catch for Pietersen removes Khawaja, and adds another wicket for Swann - 69 for 4, will they get 250?
  
  EDIT: lol - just heard Shane Warne on commentary say that ' England are all over Australia like a cheap suit' , how true, for the moment.

  You there today? How do you see it going?

  
  Not there today Scotty, but it looks as though the chaps are seeing off the Antipodean scoundrels without my assistance.
  
  86 for 5, might be looking at a follow through here !

  I don't know what we were all panicking about.
  
  86-5. That 250 is looking unlikely Russ.
  
  Nothing like a good follow-through Briss, especially when it's happening to someone else.

• RE: ASHES 2013: SECOND TEST - LORDS

  RussyRover > 19/07/2013, 15:09

  Haha, even worse now at 91 for 6, I bet Clarke wishes he had a review left lol...
  
  I do believe that 250 looks a bit far off, at this rate what's the betting they last till Tea? and I concur that a follow on looks most likely. It's a good job that the Aussie batsmen are even more rubbish than ours :D
  
  So what can Brad Haddin and Agar now do?

  A gentleman would never wish such a thing on another gentleman.
  
  However these bladgers could not manage a hard days yacker between them. Bloody mongrels.
  
  Englishmen have history - Australians have previous.
