Currently online doing a test paper for work and listening to the sound from the tv downstairs...loads of interruptions

LOL

Good luck with both tests.

Bell is the next target. Get him and I reckon the tail will fold.

Some wayward bowling though is keeping England in the game at the moment.

Bell and Bairstow putting on a nice partnership 225-4

For whom the Bell tolls

289-7 stumps well the Cons have had the better day.

Jimbuna · 07-18-13, 01:22 PM

A bit of a shaky finish but when we were 28-3 I'd have settled for the close of play score.

Typical bloody woman.
The Queen gets the best seat in the house at Lord's for the second cricket Test between England and Australia then pisses off after an hour to go shopping as she is bored and doesn't understand the rules...

She did autograph a few shirts and bats before she left though....the Aussie ones to remind them who their monarch was

TarJak · 07-18-13, 03:05 PM

LoL not a bad first day for us. Smith bowled well late and interesting to see something for the spinners on day one.

Got to admit he did bowl well, but what a crap shot by Bairstow that ball should have been it that hard it ended at ST Johns Wood tube Station.

Weather should permit a seamless test...plenty of good and interesting cricket ahead.

England should pass the 300 mark but not by much so the Aussie first innings total may well give an early indication of how this match might end.

BossMark · 07-19-13, 05:01 AM

First ball of the day and Bresnan out

361 all out oh well I was only 39 runs short.

Some crap bowling by our mob this session. Lets see if the openers can put on a good start to the chase. 361 is gettable on this pitch but we'll have to bat better up the order than we have been recently.

Definately evenly poised at the moment.

Jimbuna · 07-19-13, 06:49 AM

Can't say I was overly impressed with the England batting performance in the first innings and 450 is possible on a flat wicket so a tied series at the end of this match is a definite possibility.

Lots of cricket still to go though.

Jimbuna · 07-19-13, 07:06 AM

Watson is the first wicket to fall 42-1
