2nd Ashes Test v England @ Lords, the home of MCC/Cricket

[dedja]

LOL, look at us all, we're whingeing more than the f***ing Poms!!! ... but this is different because we have reason to

In all seriousness, it will be all the more sweeter if the boys can regroup and take the series ... a long, long way to go which the Poms may have forgotten for the moment.

Flintoff staring down batsmen What is his message? "Yeah i really just want money so i'm going to stop playing at the top level. What a star i am." F*ck of Freddy. You are one very over rated cricketer who has the backbone of a squid. P1ss off to the IPL where you can continue your very mediocre career and think that a few runs and wickets against club cricketers and has beens is actually worth something.

Exactly.

[Johno6]

I wonder if England could take all 10 wickets if they were ACTUALLY out..

Out of the 4 wickets so far.... 2 werent even out.

[Mic]

How can you get bowled by the useless Swann? Aussies have been woeful, deserve to get hammered.

[dedja]

That one was definitely out ... hang on, have we checked for a no ball yet???

[rod_rooster]

Wow, North done all ends up. We are in trouble now. Not really any blokes who are likely to dig in and bat for hours and hours left. Clarke is it and Haddin needs to play the innings of his life.

[dedja]

cennals, what the f***ing weather doing over there???

[Johno6]

australia will be lucky to make it past tea... unless johnson makes another ton

[dedja]

Rush Dizzy in, he made a double ton in his last dig ...

[cennals05]

I can't believe this weather. It ALWAYS rains in London except the one day you want it to. If it wasn't so windy we may have seen more rain, but it's just blowing over.

Come on Australia you just need to stick it out and up the Poms.

You are really dirty aren't you?

Why wouldn't you give the batsmen the odd stare when you are bowling well and you have the Australians 5/140 chasing 525.?

And as for Strauss i do not think it is clear cut as people are making it especially you and AH, When you take a catch that low to the ground it is very hard to know whether it was clean or not, I think Strauss is being a bit harshly dealt with here, He thought he took the catch and he claimed it, (While it was the wrong decision, I certainly do not think he is a filthy cheat.)

This game is over. Haddin very lucky with that LBW IMO.

He is a cheat. I've played cricket for 25 years and when you get those catches you know. He would've known he didn't catch it but he cheated. He has to look at himself in the mirror every day though.

Some of the one eyed crap written here in the last few hours is pathetic

How dare people be dissapointed by umpires making blatently wrong decisions and England's captain cheating

[jackpot jim]

Broad you wanker. He was pulled up at least 4 steps before his delivery stride but bowls it anyway. I just can't warm to Broad at all, he seems like a real jerk off to me.

Thought exactly the same thing when i saw it, Not at all surprised though as has been mentioned plenty of times previously, Broad = WANKER.

[redden whites]

Did anyone see the trajectory of the ball begin an upward journey before entering the hands of Strauss indicating a bounce??? I know I didn't.

The ball hit the ground FFS.

[redden whites]

Where were his fingers. Anyone who honestly thinks Strauss did not think it was a clean catch has as about as much idea as the guy who started the " Hawthorn are overrated" thread last year.
