That over to Lyon was idiotic. He can’t move so he’ll stand back for the short ball, and not a single ball targeting the stumps. No idea why they haven’t declared either
This is the most bizarre passage of play I've seen. They can't run for anything. It's boundaries or nowt.
It seems barking having Lyon out there in this state, he’ll likely just aggravate his injury and set himself back even farther, are the Aussies really that desperate for 8 or a12 runs!
Never knew that. Just seen that it came in 12 years ago. Weird rule cos it’s a total farce at Lords now
looking like it'll be over by 3pm tomorrow , totally out-gunned by the aussies, we bowled well 1st innings but this blaze-ball not worked this match, hopefully leeds will get us back in it, as for lyon, i reckon he insisted on coming in to add whatever to the score just to show their mettle, great game by them
About time Pope's position in this side was questioned. He's just not good enough IMO and averaging below 35 in tests.
Can’t see him being fit tbf, same with Stokes, not getting scores and not fit to bowl much, it’s like being a player short.
