3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[morgieb]

That top 6 played just 3 Tests together. However, Atherton, Stewart, Hussain and Thorpe played in 39 Tests. The other main batsmen in these 39 Tests were Crawley (15 Tests), Butcher (12), Trescothick (10), Hick (9), Ramprakash (9) and Knight (8).

And all of the other batsmen you mentioned (bar maybe Knight) would walk into this current lineup too, lol

 

[Burgey]

Every run a nail in the coffin here. Even a forty odd run partnership here takes it away

Review that. Outside the line

Edit. Nah looks in line

I think it's time for everyone to acknowledge that there was a touch of Nostradamus about Burgey before the day's play started, even if he was accused of being insane at the time.

Hope he had some money on it.

 

[Spikey]

that didn't look out at all.

so it'll be umps call

edit lol that's out

i stan a old ****

 

[Spark]

Two noises?

 

[Pothas]

Who would you drop?

Buttler? Denly?

England have a ridiculous pool of players it is hard to know.

 

[Starfighter]

Denly's 12 3rd top score in the match so far....

Who says it's now a batsmens game.

Funny, thinking about the way test cricket has gone overall recently. I think everyone would agree that conditions have generally been more bowler friendly, but it feels like a lot of the low scores recently are just sue to sheer batting incompetence from teams who can't play overseas and who have sacrificed their techniques on the altar of T20.


This will be close, Warner isn't tall.

 

[Spark]

Oooh actually that's close.

 

[Starfighter]

At least we keep the review. Marginal decision though.

 

[wpdavid]

Small mercies, I suppose.

And Broad's now taken more test wickets at Headingley than anyone.

 

[Burgey]

Lol the suns come out and it’s a ****ing minefield

 

[zaremba]

Warner's earned himself some easy declaration runs here, hope he tons up.

That he didn't manage to score a single run is the first bright spot in an otherwise bleak day

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Looks out

 

[trundler]

Khawaja needs to do something

 

[a massive zebra]

Was going off the Sky record sheet, looking at CricInfo they were shot out for 52.

Lowest total Australia have conceded since that infamous Sharjah Test where it was 50 degrees. First total under 100 Australia conceded since that infamous Cape Town Test....

Lindwall 6-20.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

122 is enough for England not to chase down

 

[trundler]

Good ball but not well played.

 

[Cabinet96]

This is exactly the kind of series I wanted tbh. Rubbish batsmen getting owned by world class fast bowlers (harsh in the case of Warner).

 

[wpdavid]

Seriously.

These idiots are actually getting paid for this rubbish. Sunday park cricket would do 1000x better than them. It is a disgrace. The only decent player we have is Jofra Archer

Welcome to the forum mate.

 

[GIMH]

Would you bet against Roy being out again before close?
