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

I just don't rate Broad. Anderson's bowled much better lines so far.

And then he nearly picks up Mitch...

dedja agrees with you. He is saying he can't work out why the Poms replaced Anderson with Broad. I know why though. It's because Strauss is an idiot

[dedja]

C'mon Strauss, Freddie needs a spell ...

Nice LBW appeal btw for a ball that pitched a foot outside leg.

[whufc]

Come on Johnson have confidence to play your natural game.

I don't think his going to last to long just proding around.

[Mic]

Is Flintoff even injured or he is faking it to look like a hero?

[dedja]

If Mitch gets going we'll have the runs by lunch.

And a set of stumps to high.

At home now from work so getting to watch now.

I think he is faking it, he bowls when he wants to and doesn't bowl when he doesnt feel like it.

Andrew Flintoff is SOFT, that is why he is giving up Test cricket.

clarke out to the shocking swann. i hate that bloke

[dedja]

Pup what are you doing son???

[whufc]

Joffa would have his jacket on.

The thing I think needs to happen is for them to just throw the bat around - get as close to the target as possible.

[NFC]

Oh Clarke, what on earth was that? Great knock but geezz...

[rod_rooster]

Clarke goes. Game over. Great knock though

[Mic]

The fact that 2 of our batsmen have been bowled by Swann this innings highlights how ordinary we really have been this match. We don't deserve to win.

Spot on Spelly ... that's what Mitch is good at.

There's still a faint heartbeat.

[CoverKing]

u write it like he has played a shocking shot. he moved his feet and missed a full toss!

the late drift got him!

Mitch is looking really good here

[spell_check]

And, I've harped on this one before, but I love seeing the chase to the boundary. You would never see the chases we've seen so far in NZ as it would already be four.

Well we know Hauritz will only play one way. He is going to play shots. Johnson will do the same now that Pup is gone. This could be over pretty quickly or there will be some quick scoring i'd imagine.

[dedja]

That's if he uses his bat RR ...

[RoosterMarty]

Not sure why Hauritz even took his bat out.
