2nd Test: England v Australia at Lord's

[aussie1st]

Geez how could the umpire miss that no ball on the Katich wicket. Poor stuff.

 

[age of the fall]

Almost exactly the start England needed here, good job Freddie.

 

[evertonfan]

Lol, that was a no ball as well. Quality.

 

[Skater]

Flintoff's first ever Ashes wicket was a no ball too - bad luck Aussies. :banana2

 

[Howsie]

Why was Hussain saying that Katich would not of been out with the referal system in place.

Katich would have to go ask for it, and he was quite clearly out?

 

[barmyarmy]

They've been talking about the umpires missing them all game actually. Not sure Katich would have known and referred.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Ponting is really struggling against the short stuff here. Jimmy's roughing him up too.

Freddie's so good, not only does he get batsmen out twice with one ball, he can get them out off no-balls too.

 

[aussie1st]

Whoa where did that come from Anderson. Never known him to be a bowler that could get bounce like that. Ponting looking a lot more settled this inns, he better not throw his wicket away.

 

[barmyarmy]

I hope that's not Ponting time-wasting

 

[evertonfan]

Love how none of our players asked him if he was okay.

 

[aussie1st]

Flintoff finally around the wicket to Hughes. This is the big test for him, he has been good so far but last match he struggled with this line.

 

[manee]

Whoa where did that come from Anderson. Never known him to be a bowler that could get bounce like that.

That definitely went through the top or hit something because that was an absolute monster of a ball.

 

[aussie1st]

Flintoff drops Hughes, Anderson finally pitches it on a good length.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Knicked and dropped by Freddie! Incredibly difficult catch though.

Gah, four for Punter.

 

[Jakester1288]

Hughes has had his life, hopefully this doesn't make Freddy extra keen to make up for it and get him out.

Ponting's fingers must be sore.
