England v Australia - Second Ashes Test - Lord's
- Thread starter gaffs
- Start date
So why didn't they then? There wasn't that long left to play when play was abandoned was there?
Because they would have taken the light? As mentioned on here about 5 times and constantly on the sky coverage? Where is that picture of the statue with its head in its hands when you need it.....
Good grief you really do love to act the twat
For a start, not everyone has Sky Sports coverage
Secondly, light was always likely to be an issue for the final 30 minutes of the days play, so its not a very impressive fecking plan is it
I just wanted to know if that was the reason the team gave for not putting them back in, rather than what people rightly speculated on here. Someone with a bit more grace would try to answer the question rather than act like a bell end about it
Why's light an issue, they've got big feck off floodlights at lords atm.
This is where cricket annoys me.

agreed. i know some will say that australia could have gotten 500+ second innings and given england a tricky little target on a 5th day turning pitch. but these are the chances you have to take if you want to win a test match. you have to take 20 wickets, end of story.
do not be surprised to see a negative strauss decide to bat on for an hour this morning.
He wouldn't be stupid enough.
Hehe the wicket was a no ball
34-2!!!!
er. . . I think.
er. . . I think.
Not sure he was out, to be fair.
i dont think it was out
Fecking pathetic umpiring. If that was out then Hauritz's the other day was a catch.
2 wickets that should not have been.

Australia on the end of two wrong decisions.
Two poor umpiring decisions, shame.
why dont they use referrals?
When in doubt don't give it out.
It's justice
What's the point of technology when it's not being used?
How hard is it to make a referral?
How hard is it to make a referral?
Justice for what
. Justice for your hip pocket?
Or justice for the right royal smashing you were given in Australia?
You can say the same for football and not using video or the goal line technology.
These umpires are brought up through the old style of seeing it as it is.
Fantastic bowling from Flintoff.
How many times hav the Aussie had bad decisions go their way?
Why the hell did they make yesterday's referral?
Just go upstairs. I'd be surprised if that umpire could see with his advancing years and sunglasses to be sure.
Many...
Even in our previous tour down under, it was bad umpiring that won them their series.
England deserves to win the test though but doubt they can win Ashes back.
If that is suppose to be taken as fact, I have no words too describe how, how retarded that statement looks.
Addict and Vijay.
Some people are ignorant.
Lets get Ponting out before he decides to shut up shop for two days.
Ponting! GONE!
Have it!
get out you cock
I hate children
Shut the feck up
Shut the feck up
Great catch
Right out of the top drawer that from Colly.
No edge
Third batsman given out wrongly.
Bad decisions ruining this match.
That so, they haven't been that definitive on TMS or maybe i missed it.
However he edged one earlier though for no gain on England's part.
Absolute joke. Australia's only saviour is now the rain.
Other then that, twin double centuries from Clark and North 'far from likely'.
