Test 2: Lords. Poms win the toss and choose to bat. The bell rings.

for whom?
- BusterBoy0
Johnson all over the shop. Terrible spell.
- mistermik0
yay for Johnson.

Another dull pitch?
- BusterBoy0
Little bit slow but the bowling, especially from Johnson has been woeful. Poms will gbet 500+ pretty easily if this continues.

all gone wrong.

useless, most of the wickets have been due to our own careless mistakes as the bowling has been average.
- when the bowlins was average you scored....when it was better you got out.thebottlerocket

fuck's sake England are so predictable. Said when I noticed at lunchtime that the openers were going strong and the text commnetary on the BBC was going on about how it couldn't get better than this, that all would take would be for Oz to get one wicket and the rest of them would fall like skittles.
At one point, 4/5 years ago, after Hussain's captaincy and early stages of Vaughan's, England seemed to crack their one classic fault (which seems to stretch across most sports), that being that they simply have NO BOTTLE, but they seem to be right back where they were pre ashes win. Give them a bit of crowing, triumphalist commentary and they go back to simply believing hype and not applying themselves like professionals. The aussies must look at them and go "how the fuck did these guys get to do this for money?"
- yes; a scot who likes and follows the cricket. (though I haven't really for a few years)kelpie

amen brother.
- peterorpete0
well if we can get past 400 without another wicket going tomorrow and then carry it on at least half way through tomorrow hopefully hanging on near 500 or so, should be ok

Day 2: Discuss...
Kelpie the whole MBE thing in 2005 was rather perplexing, it seemed all 'style over content' that they think they'd arrived at their destination and not seen the win as a single step in a longer journey.
English cricket has been rubbish since 2005 were they reached #2 in the rankings.
