Lyon likely out indefinitely
Enter the Murph!

Can’t replace him in this Test though. Unless…

They make Lyon bat in our 2nd innings. They’ll most likely bounce him because he’s a compulsive hooker… if I were Lyon, I’d get the ball to deflect off my helmet… then get assessed as concussed to allow Murphy to replace him.

2nd Test at Lord’s

Ok Guys,help me out here!

Can somebody please enlighten me as to why the f*** we are bothering to send Gary out there to Bat without a Runner,when he is clearly f*****?!

I can only imagine all this Shit qualifies Murphy to Sub in and Bowl in the 4th Innings of this Test?

Otherwise,what’s the Bloody Point?

That would have to be one of the most pathetic efforts I’ve seen from any batting team ever. Absolutely f****** idiotic. Capped off by the imbecilic decision to send Lyon out there.

Fully agree.If it didn’t qualify someone else to Sub In for him,then what was the bloody point?

Did my head in!

[grassy1]

BANG!

Pope’s Middle Peg outta da ground,after an Absolute Ripsnorter from Starc and the poor old Poms are 2 - 16 as I type!

You Bloody Ripper!

Clean ‘em Up Boys!

Body Motion My Arse,Erasmus!

That was a Legitimate Catch and You Bloody Well o low it!

Missed it. What’s this about?

[grassy1]

Starc’s sliding non catch off Duckett’s Slash before Stumps.

He was deemed not to be in control of his body movement,even if he was in control of the ball,in his firm grip of it,sliding along the ground.

Yeah… just saw that. I am at a loss as to how they accept catches when ball is on ground and fingers under the ball at the point of a catch, but don’t allow this when Starc has complete control of the catch before landing. I don’t get it. He never “dropped” it.

Jonny Bairstow

TOO BAD,SO SAD,BYE -BYE!!!!!!

[grassy1]

For f***’s Sake Paddy.

Barring Alex Carey,who has been Smart,Can you and the boys grab a f****** Brain and stop bowling UTTER SHIT to that Bloody Criminal,Stokes?

Rip Greeny off for starters and start ripping them a few Yorkers,which can’t be No Balled or declared Wide by those 2 bloody inconsistent,incompetent twits standing out there!

Put the Game Away or look like complete IDIOTS in the end!

[grassy1]

Fair Dinkum,there’s some Shit for Brains stuff by us today.

Even if we get away with the Win,this Mob really Do Shit me sometimes!

Do these guys know what Stumps look like and know how to bowl at ‘em,particularly in the Block hole?

We need an Aussie Joel Garner,who would demand a New Ball,us 6 Foot 8,Bowls about 145 k’s minimum and rips the opposition batsmen several new arseholes,or in need of new toes,or souvenir half stumps!

Oh,looky here!

Starc finally bowls at the Stumps and over it goes!

2 - 0 Up,but today,About f****** Time!

[grassy1]

As for the Poor Whinging Pommy Fans,if you think we’re Cheats,if you Insist,then we’re Raiders

Raider Rule Number One
Cheating is Encouraged
Raider Rule Number Two
See Rule Number One

Have a Nice Day!

[grassy1]

Boland,Murphy In

Hazelwood or Starc,Lyon(injured) Out

[BenDoolan]

Bloody hell. Nice to be 2 up, but could do without all this stress!

lol at Jonny Bairstow’s dismissal That’s u’12s stuff mate. Going for a wander while the keeper has the ball haha - deserved what you got! Dopey. To all those whinging Poms - the “spirit of the game” is to play within the rules. It is within the rules, so we’ll drink some spirits to that

Ben bloody Stokes. The guy gives us nightmares. He is the closest thing to Adam Gilchrist I’ve ever seen. Phenomenal hitter.

Love Uzzie. Such a class act with the bat and with the microphone. Hope he stuck it up those members.

[desmondo]

Great win in the end considering we had no Lyon.

Bloody Ben Stokes alright, I recall Botham doing a job on us once, took them from an impossible position to win the fkng game. Was infamous for a couple of the Aussie players punting on the poms at ridiculous odds

Colin de Grandhomme
0 1 0 0 0.00
run out (Pope)
83.4 Huge appeal, Broad is up in his celebrappeal, too! And while he does so, there is a referral for run-out at the striker's end as there's a direct hit. Is de Grandhomme a goner? Yes, he is! Pope with the direct hit catches him unawares! De Grandhomme had missed the flick to get hit high on the back leg to elicit the appeal. But the ball had rolled towards slips, from where Pope hit the bull's eye as the batter had wandered down. England on a roll and back in this big time. 251/6

Poms are hypocrites with short memories.
SCOREBOARD!

Don’t understand what the big outcry is. The label of “cheats” is hysterical nonsense

Out stumped every day of the week.

Perhaps they need to re-name their game plan CRYBALL
