Ah.
Is that good? It doesn’t sound good. What is it?
Ireland needs to overtest England’s target champfer with ins and over-wicket runs if the green holders hope to wokka any outballs today
but only in-between the lunch, dinner & tea sessions
See, that’s what I thought too.
Oh right……
Is this like the offside rule in football, in that I know what it is but have a fundamental inability to understand what exactly it is.
All these years I’ve been in love with Graham Poll.
Bit of rain.
Cloudy overhead.
Good bowling conditions but still a decent wicket for batting.
Ireland face a tricky chase.
But plenty of time.
All to play for.
The odds favour Ireland if they keep their nerve.
Leave it to Charger and not some BS underling to give you the spin-free truth …
Is there a location on the field called Backstop by any chance? I’m stumped why cricket isn’t the new golf yet.
…finally Charger…you seem to have found something you know about…
….and is not insufferable.
Let’s not get carried away.
I take it back.
Hasn’t lost a toss yet.
Leave it to me to school you oafs in the gentleman’s game just as I school you in most other things.
If I had a forelock I’d pull it!
Tank you sorr!
For instance,
It’s a little known fact that Lord’s is the only international cricket ground in the world where spectators are allowed to bring in their own alcohol.
The limits are one bottle of wine or Champagne or two cans/bottles of beer/cider or two cans of premixed aperitifs.
Fancy dress,flags and musical instruments are not permitted.
And yes, for the boggers on here, you can also bring in your cheese and ham sangers.
As I say,a gentleman’s game.
That “little known fact” is on the Lord’s website…

Yes, you can bring your own food into the Ground for all matches.
It is also possible to order, online, one of our exclusive picnic hampers for two and collect at the Ground on the day of your visit. Orders must be made at least 72 hours prior to the match day.
Good opportunity for the irish lads to put themselves in the shop window for England selection.
I’m reminded of a song, “You’ll Never Beat The Irish” – unfortunately, for the most part – well, that’s not true.
watch out for a maiden after lunch…. I think
It’s not that great if the maiden wears a shawl from Galway…
Didn’t actually make lunch.
Bowled out for 38 in the lowest scored and shortest test innings ever played at Lord’s.
But nothing for Ireland to be ashamed of.
They were up against perfect bowling conditions and two top-class bowlers in great form.
Hard luck to Ireland who gave England a mighty scare.
Welcome to test cricket.
It’s a brutal game.
Lol
Fair play old chap
See above Charger – also, Come On Tyrone!
Final score: nil out along the crease, bat wickets all in for a smut and back to Folkestone in time for nanny! Hooray for the whipsnades!
speak english man!
I think he is.
jasus that’s fairly humiliating
back in our box, wha
That was an awful kicking.
Doesn’t matter just get the Pimms in
