🏏 2nd Test :engerland: England (and Wales) v India 🇮🇳 - Lord's

So, the 2nd test starts on Thursday, 'tis at the home of Cricket so I’m sure the Groundsman will be jolly sporting and prepare a wicket for the Indian strengths :lou_facepalm_2:

Will the match last the full 5 days?

Surely not…we haven’t played Tests at Hambledon since my teens. :lou_wink:

Would it be wrong of me to point out that the second Test is at Lord’s?

Isn’t that Lords?

OK, so you’ve changed the thread title. :grin: The apostrophe stands though - it’s the ground formerly belonging to Mr Lord, so it’s most definitely Lord’s. Another edit, perhaps?

I had no idea, seriously, thank you for pointing this out to me (I’m being serious, honest)

Your post oozes sincerity, Bob. Just oozes it.

I know, I just don’t know how to make it not sound like I’m being sarcastic…

:lou_facepalm_2: Agast at you making light of Hambledon’s claims (in God’s own county) to be “The Home of Cricket”

If you’re an observant reader, you will have realised there should have been a coin tossed into the London sky already this morning.

Well… I have bad news.

After months of glorious sunshine the inevitable has happened. It’s raining.

The toss has been delayed.

Have we lost yet?

Meh, looks like it’s going to peter out to a draw

I’ve been hiking all afternoon - still am.

Can someone update me on the cricketzzzz?

England and India shared the days play I would say, pretty even match so far…
