2ND ashes test!
Nice quick turn around, cant wait.
Do we think either team will make changes?
I hope Finn gets the boot, i know he took some vital wickets in the 1st innings but overall his bowling was poor. Get Bresnan in there as he can bat a bit too!
Comfortable England win at Lords

Re: 2ND ashes test!
My sleep has been caught up on and ready to go again......Aussie win can be the only result.
Re: 2ND ashes test!
aussies will make 2 changes
Cowan and Starc to be dropped in favour of Khawaja and Bird/Harris
the poms still to have the cheat in their team
interesting fact, the aussies have won 14/18 test matches at Lord's?

Re: 2ND ashes test!
All are in the same boat, but it just looks worse when one knows that you cant appeal via DRS, and the others could. If there were no DRS reviews left, and they were given not out, Haddin and Clarke would have looked worse in that they knew they couldnt call for the bloke upstairs. They are guilty of being silly more than anything, as it turned out the poms had the DRS up their sleeve when their calls were questioned and surely they should have known that and walked anyway. That said, given a poor appeal, the state of the game, Haddin's was almost understandable.

How silly did Clarke looked claiming he didn't hit it and going for the referral and wasting it?

Re: 2ND ashes test!
Thats why I said silly, not so much a cheat. What sane person would refer it if they knew they hit it? Can only imagine he thought he didnt.God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:All are in the same boat, but it just looks worse when one knows that you cant appeal via DRS, and the others could.

If he hit it, knew it, ump said not out and he knew there were no DRS reviews left for the poms, then yes, throw the "cheat" book at him.
Will be interesting if/when Broad comes to Australia all the same. I'm sure the local crowd will be nice to him.

Re: 2ND ashes test!
so broad hits in and stands there, he's a cheat. Clarke and hadding hit it and stand there, they're just silly. Clarke not only cheated but he's worse. He on the faint hope of the technology being faulty stood there after being given out.Bomber wrote:Thats why I said silly, not so much a cheat.

Re: 2ND ashes test!
You obviously didnt read the context I wrote re DRS situation. Its like the idiots on the bus pleading not guilty to the bashings, yet its all on video. Are they cheats or just stupid?God is an Englishman wrote:

well technically none of them are cheats, no where in the rules does it state you have to walk.
I read the drs part and don't see the relevance. All 3 players are in the same boat.

Re: 2ND ashes test!
Imagine if there was a DRS in the football WC in 86, England v Argentina - England had one review left before Maradona's hand of god. Do you think he would have claimed the goal and celebrated as such in that circumstance? Then think if England had no reviews left (which as they didnt exist, was the real outcome). If the first instance happened and goal was correctly disallowed due to DRS, would he still be classed as a cheat? It would have been forgotten about in a milli-second due to the correct call!God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:You obviously didnt read the context I wrote re DRS situation.

Coz he knew the decision couldnt and wouldnt be allowed to be challenged. Quite simple really.God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:Imagine if there was a DRS in the football WC in 86, England v Argentina - England had one review left before Maradona's hand of god.

so he's to blame because clarke shiraz up? Do you really think in the heat of the moment, how many reviews they had left was even considered?

Re: 2ND ashes test!
Absolutely! It's a pretty important "tactic" these days. That, plus I imagine reviews left would be flashed up on the screen every so often.

Is Harris fit?
