*Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

[stephen]

I can't believe the commentator was able to keep a straight face when talking about what was between Watsons ears.

 

[uvelocity]

none of the low bounce has been on target at all as yet, but could be ominous for batting last

 

[Swingpanzee]

+ 1 on Tremlett. The bounce in this pitch would have been right up his alley.

I actually thought Tremlett was a no-brainer. Old Trafford has good bounce perfect for Tremmers. Would have made it a lot more interesting.

 

[NUFAN]

Tremlett in his past 3 first class matches: 3/77, 1/79, 1/48, 2/74, 0/34

Not exactly mounting an irresistible case over Bresnan who bowled well last Test (and bats better).

 

[Prince EWS]

Watson narrowly avoids the chop-on there.

LBW shout - check
In the air in the point/gully region - check
Poor running - check
Almost playing on - check

There's actually still one to go though

Tries to pull a length ball on target for off stump

 

[Cabinet96]

Tremlett would've been a no brainer if he wasn't taking poles at 40 this year.

Pitch should help him for that. To hit off stump its got to be a pretty full ball.

Even for him that would be seriously absurd on a deck like this.

Doesn't stop people form raging at Starc over Bird (who also bats better).

[91Jmay]

Great shot. Rogers looks it top nick.

 

[Burgey]

Great shot

Could definitely still happen when Swann comes on IMO.

 

[ajdude]

i remember the time i watched the full version of that

multiple times

 

[uvelocity]

ironic that the return of m00phy coincides with a match winning triple for kenny

 

[Maximas]

yeah, he should stick around...

 

[Burgey]

Played that well, Watson. Checked himself up when it wasn't there to drive.

before he wrecked himself

 

[Maximas]

Rogers' scoring rate suggesting the English bowling hasn't been all that flash

 

[Burgey]

England maybe overdoing the straight one looking for the lbw here.
