Could be dodgy, bowling with Archer very prone to injury and Stokes with a seeming groin injury

Cricket been played firm 11 till 6:30 and they going to be around 7 overs short! Why with weather like this they don’t bowl the 90 overs!?

Stokes Archer and Wood suffer so many injuries yet those Aussie cunts starc Cummins and hazelwood never seem to

Agreed. It's short changing the paying customers. And I'm guessing that, with it being at Lord's, they're paying well.

Yep we in the shit looks like Stokes won’t bowl looking at him now! Like you posted Archer back in the test side hardly bowled long spells! Carse looked fucked last test match and had a problem with his feet!

Let’s hope we bat till tea tomorrow at least! At the current run rate over rate we be around 400!

Come on stokes you mard arse they are flying ant or ladybirds not killer wasps!

Unless he was just waisting time till stumps

painfully slow, but it seems quite common that tests in England top out at 85 overs a day.

I know there are various allowances, but I don't know what they are or why teams are allowed to get away with it.

Could be long spells for Bashir and Root

Don’t throw it way root just because you want a ton tonight

Yeah if we bat till tea tomorrow at least keep India in the field long as possible

What a crappy score to end the day on; 99 not out.

Really good day of Test Cricket. Some top quality bowling, matched by some solid batting. Disappointed that pope couldn't convert.

On a sour note, only bowling 83 overs is a disgrace, and that's not the first time they've been slow this series

Better 99 than 98

Better 99 than 98

Not as good as 100 though!

True but if he pushed for it might got out! If stokes wasn’t injured he would of got it

Sleepless night coming up for him!

Better than 99 out

Bret Lee could never stay fit tbf, nor Johnson, and Starc was actually known for always getting injured a bit like Wood, but he sorted it out as he approached 30.


I think we also just don’t pay attention to their injuries unless it’s the ashes. I know I’d never notice if all 3 of them missed a 5 test series vs India, Windies, Pakistan or South Africa - especially if it’s in Australia going on overnight.
