3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[Bijed]

What should the be the rating for this pitch maybe 2 out of 10

Higher marks than each of the English batting lineup tbf

I'd love it if they pulled up some Trueman footage. A properly aesthetic bowler, none of this chest-on ****e.

 

[Starfighter]

Wouldn't bet against Leach being out again to be honest.

When was the last two-day test? This ground in 2000 or has there been one more recently?

Think it was here, can't remember another one. That series was similar to this with Lara being Smith but it was us winning.

Bring back Bopara back into England team next test match would be epic lol he is in good form going by this season stats

You stole my idea :

 

[trundler]

Get one of these 2 hacks to headbutt one so Smith can walk out as the sub

With that wicket, by the way, Broad goes past the great Fred Trueman as the leading wicket-taker at Headingley in Tests

Now we can sleep in peace

The Sharjah Test where Pakistan got shot out for 53 and 59 only lasted two days. A few Tests against Zimbabwe and Afghanistan too.

I think SA beat Zimbabwe within two days in the early 2000s.

 

[Compton]

This match is exactly like when I used to play Brian Lara on the PS2, if you replace all of the wickets with getting out slogging.

 

[Uppercut]

The low scores here make the runs lost due to England's club-level ground fielding pretty significant.

You stole my idea :

England need to stop discriminating against the older players and just bring back who ever is in batting form back into team.

 

[trundler]

Did good to get a glove to it

 

[Spark]

Does feel like these two only have one big effort left in them. Gotta see them out.

That one was like an off break. Funny how even though we have the taller score the England bowlers are much more adept at moving the ball off the seam.

This is outside Australia so Khawaja is as good as a tailender and therefore not good enough to nick

Much of that is the length tbf. A very "pretty" length.

 

[Compton]

Can’t wait for Warney to start going on about an early declaration. Gotta be willing to lose to win etc etc etc.

India vs Afghanistan

Yep that's correct. I just remembered the SA vs Zim match not too long before as well, where Zimbabwe were bowled out for 68.
