[Cricket] 2nd Test Eng v NZ @ Headingly

[Titanic]

Tea, day 2.

England 163-0 (50 overs), trailing by 187

Cook 71* (155 balls, 12 fours) Lyth 80* (145 balls, 11 fours)

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Guaranteed loss of first wicket with score in single figures.

Look Alistair a 350 lead and an attacking field.

What a fantastic prediction, you're the Mystic Meg of NSC

 

[Titanic]

LBW review against Cook... given not out on field...

 

[Eeyore]

Lyth may have a few runs here, but I can't help thinking he'll get found out in the Ashes.

 

[Titanic]

Pitched middle, hitting top half of middle. OUT for 75.

177-1

 

[Geestar]

Lyth may have a few runs here, but I can't help thinking he'll get found out in the Ashes.

Or he will show them that they are still not the great cricketing nation they once were and we should not be worried

 

[Trevor]

Lyth may have a few runs here, but I can't help thinking he'll get found out in the Ashes.

I think he is the best option to open with Cook though

 

[Titanic]

Lyth may have a few runs here, but I can't help thinking he'll get found out in the Ashes.

"Found out" is rather melodramatic... they are probably the best bowling attack in the world, one would expect all but the very best and most experienced to find it difficult batting against them.

Adam Lyth 102* (188 balls, 14 fours)

Maiden century in his 2nd test match.

England 194-1

 

[pasty]

Lyth 102*

 

[BensGrandad]

215 for 2 can we get near their score before close of play today need 131 more runs.

 

[BensGrandad]

238 for 3 Ballance out.

 

[Eeyore]

Or he will show them that they are still not the great cricketing nation they once were and we should not be worried

If he does that I'll be happy to eat my roasted hat.

 

[BensGrandad]

If he does that I'll be happy to eat my roasted hat.

240 for 4 Root out are we going to get a typical middle order collapse

[Luke93]

This is the issue with scoring runs slowly. Haven't accumulated enough runs this session despite having batsman set.
