2nd Test: England v Australia at Lord's

Cos his knee isn't gonna last much longer.

Funny enough the departure of Flintoff brings about the return of Bond the closest thing to a Flintoff.

 

[Jakester1288]

Great shot from Johnson. He is looking really vulnerable to Flintoff.

 

[evertonfan]

Because his knee's hanging by a thread and he can't cope with 5 days' toil anymore.

 

[aussie1st]

The umpire picks up a no ball at last.

 

[piriyanth]

Good shot by Johnson.

 

[Howsie]

Haha, that was out

 

[Simbazz]

How much damage would a 93MPH ball do to the side of the knee?

 

[barmyarmy]

Broad playing for his place in the 3rd test for me. If he can clean a few up then he can play next test.

barmyarmy added 0 Minutes and 31 Seconds later...

About as much as a visit from the IRA with a baseball bat.

 

[Simbazz]

Broad doesn't really help Flintoff by keeping the pressure on.

 

[evertonfan]

Why does Strauss have so much faith in Broad? Everytime he comes on he just seems to take the pressure right off the batsmen.

I'm still worried. If Johnson gets his eye in Australia will win.

How about just once backing England to win. They can't lose from here.

 

[aussie1st]

Johnson is one brave man pulling/hooking Flintoff. He would be one guy that you would put that shot away for.

 

[Simbazz]

As soon as Flintoff is done, who've we got to take wickets? I'm not confident anyone can do it like Fred.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Hit him in the shoulder, and responds with a four.

Johnson not looking good there at all, England doing well to keep Clarke off strike...
