Smithy works!

 

[shahidafridi123]

in the red zone!

 

[lestaboy]

Bell boy goes

 

[saj786]

pattinson and starc r way overrated, bird is by far a safer bet, lets not mention the slope atlords, young amir destroyed england on the same wicket

 

[lestaboy]

Decent score tho by eng

 

[lestaboy]

Decent bowler is smith but clarke dont use him that much

 

[lestaboy]

Oh good ball

 

[lestaboy]

Still more than enuf for aus

 

[Ruri]

Need to scrap 130 more for a par score here.

 

[shahidafridi123]

LOOOL fail from Bairstow easy catch for Smith c&b!

 

[nish_mate]

Gingernuts gone....

If it finishes at 6 for 290 it's still Englands day.

One more wicket gets Oz almost back to evens but it's still a healthy score already.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

take the new ball and get rhino on

the pitch is pretty flat imo

i'm sure the likes of clarke and haddin will do well on this pitch

 

[Executioner]

Now, does Aus have any batsman good as Bell? aside from clarke

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

smith now has three!

 

[Boi]

England suck against leg spin. shah

 

[leatherface58]

Smithy

I just think Oz lack the batters to grind out big scores on flat pitches. Clarke is the only reliable one, the rest are all so attacking they can't concentrate long enough to capitalise when it's flat.

Trott, Cook & now Bell all excel at that role.

Hoho, Steve has 3!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

anderson coming out as a night watchmen

 

[Vitaly]

Lords starts Booing expecting Stuart Broad to come out...Booing in full force...Out comes James Anderson.. LoL

 

[Space Cat]

Nightwatchman for the number 9 batsman?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

reverse swing for Harris

 

[Ruri]

I don't even know what is going on. Terrible cricket from the lower order. Prior especially, though Bairstow has always been awful. Gets a good start and can't convert. His knock today was chancey and lucky, and then he gets out to a full ball. Idiot.

 

[saiyan0312]

number 11 to protect number 9.... doesnt make sense. smith has turned the game though.

 

[Bowled 'im]

I was just about to go to bed in a foul mood.

Thank you Steve Smith. I shall sleep like a baby now.

I think it has been Australia's day.

No thanks to Patto >>

 

[Bowled 'im]

number 11 to protect number 9.... doesnt make sense.

It's prolly Barbies nap time.

 

[Ruri]

I miss the days when Anderson could be counted on for a solid 15 runs.

 

[lilFlip]

Smart captaincy by Clarke!!

 

[leatherface58]

Even day but Ozzies will be happier. Steve-O bowled like the champ out there y

 

[Robert]

Nightwatchman for the number 9 batsman?

Yeah, it's stupid. Robotic cricket by England.

I think AUS have won today's play, but we won't know if this is an OK score until they bat. This track will turn a lot later on.

 

[Executioner]

The former "Future Warne" just did a warne there!

 

[Executioner]

It's prolly Barbies nap time.

I hear broad was bleeding...

 

[leatherface58]

I hear broad was bleeding...

That time of the month you mean?
