On a night of abject misery the good news is that we are 2 for 178 in the 2nd test,life would be very miserable if you were a pommy tigers supporter

Nathan Lyon showing far more courage and resiliance going out to bat at 11 when he can hardly walk than was shown by most of our footballers earlier.That is something i both admire and respect

 

[eyewondertoo]

yes jadtiger true.
Rick mccosker batting with a strapped up broken jaw was tough- and against the windies,as well.
Perhaps guys like naden,bateman and noffa could watch exemplary sporting performances like rick's to see just what lucky buggers they are.

Those two last sessions of day 4 escape words.
The Poms didn’t aim at the stumps once in 3+ hours
Lyon showed huge courage
Starke and Cummins bowled like demons.
Crazy game

Rick McCosker was Centenary Test against the Poms I believe.

To be fair it’s a low bar. Me walking across the bindies on my nature strip shows more courage and resilience…

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Bahahaha Bairstow.

 

[supercoach]

Well that is going to get the Poms upset. Not sure if that’s cricket, but Fleet Street will have a field day. Technically I guess it’s a run out but gee there is plenty of gamesman in the call

 

[supercoach]

I guess if Starc’s catch was technically a no catch than Birstow’s dismissal is in the same basket. It is technically out

It was against the Poms in the Centenary test match in Melbourne, in 1977.

Bahahaha Bairstow.

That’s just stirred Stokes into action.
Stupid bowling from Green.

 

[happy_tiger]

Why do I have a bad feeling about Stokes ....he couldn't possibly do it again ....could he ??

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yeh. I agree with cricket. At least we win from time to time. I wanna be a happy Tiger. Take the focus off off them.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Anyway. Who's wining these days?

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Absolutely. He’s bowling to a plan. Just throw in a Yorker or 2 to mix it up.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Don’t piss Stokes off

It’s out. Just stay in your crease.

Not a New Yorker I hope. They dont even play the sport.

England did not play in the spirit of the game in our second innings.
Plus the crap with the Starke catch.
All bets are off.
We win this we secure the Ashes you’d say.

 

[Tucker]

Don’t piss Stokes off

Ridiculous bowling from Green.
Bowl at the stumps. This short stuff is going over the fence.
