2nd Test: England v Australia at Lord's

[Simbazz]

Mitchell Johnson really needs a century here, otherwise if I was Ricky Ponting, I'd be wondering why I kept faith in the lad.

 

[Magz]

7 down now.

 

[mattfb]

Tell me about it - consecutive not out tons.

Feelin Blue? added 1 Minutes and 23 Seconds later...

Top shot Mitch - but don't do it again thanks. Actually, by ducking the one after you should some smartness. If you play smart then yes, feel free to hit the bad balls as long as you don't get carried away.

Hmm yeh, I should of just stuck with don't do it again.

Geez WTH was that Johnson. You still owe us 96 runs! Really poor batting by us.

 

[Ollie_H]

Time for the walking wounded! Bets on who's coming out then?

 

[piriyanth]

Stupid shot by Johnson.

 

[Themer]

What a stupid shot that was fron Johnson, really bad shot that. England are well on top now.

If we get there do you think we will enforce the follow on? I think we might because the bowlers haven't had that long bowling currently. Could all change though if Australia get a big partnership here.

 

[Simbazz]

Erm..Ok, just after I post, he goes! Ricky, drop please, if you want to win the Ashes!

 

[Magz]

If we bowl them out should we make them follow on or extend our lead?.

 

[Mercules]

Pretty poor by Johnson but I'm not complaining. Glad to see Stuey in the wickets.

Tell me about it. Probably needs to score 180 runs in the next Test to justify his selection somewhat.

 

[Simbazz]

I'd extend to be honest, we'd only need 200 and we've got a game on our hands!

 

[mattfb]

Extend the lead.

 

[BigCrickNan]

I think we should follow on, been an on off day, and bowlers will be fresher tomorrow. Depend how close they get to the mark though, if its 200 i'd bat again.

 

[mattfb]

Oh wait nevermind, Haury and Haddin at the crease. Tis all good.
