ASHES UPDATE: (because I know you're all closeted lovers of the ol' bat n' ball): Second test at Lord's (the home of cricket) Second innings. Australia has already batted. England to chase 371. Currently England 4/114.
We've had a few injuries. Pat Cummins copped a shiner to the eye. Nathan Lyon strained a calf doing some sort of gymnastics on the field. It's OK, we're Aussies we get back up and keep fighting.
It's going to be an exciting match tonight folks. I will be watching and anticipating Midnight (blue) bot's second coming. Oh oh oh oh.
Midnight Blue
I watched Lyon bat last night. It was crazy that he went out and made a run in his state which could have made it worse for him.
I was so happy he got a boundary though. The crowd went wild when it happened.
I lasted until Starc took the 2nd wicket.
Did you watch the entire thing?
Nah I went to bed after the Aussies finished batting. It was very painful to watch Lyon bat and particularly when he had to run.
Yeah, you could see the pain and grimace on his face after each action.
It hurt a little to see the crowd boo when they weren’t going for runs.
I wonder how long he’ll be out for now? Will he even come back?
It's hard to say. Maybe that's why he went out there. He is 35 years old.
