3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[ajdude]

thought that was going straight to mid on haha.

 

[vcs]

That "Oh no" was hilarious

Watson-esque

 

[trundler]

Wtf happened to Labu in the past 6 months? Glorious stroke.

 

[Spark]

This is an excellent spell.

Not entirely sure what Head was trying to do there though. Nowhere near it

 

[cpr]

That was a beaut. If you can't trust the slips, take them out of the picture

 

[Maximas]

Any reason why England can't chase 300 if they limit the lead and bat well? Haven't seen much

spotted the issue

Corker o' a yorker

spotted the issue

Lol

But point being is it their game to lose from that position or is it tough going out there?

We can’t bat for **** that’s why.

It's been seaming and swinging all match and England can't bat.

Aus could declare now and they'd be favourites.

Yeah batting has been consistently difficult. Lot of bounce and enough seam movement on offer. Spin too.

 

[cpr]

Batting for 300 on a day 3 pitch in the sun shouldn't be impossible, especially when you know you've got 200+ overs.

But you're asking people like Roy, Stokes and Buttler to play patiently, and Root not to nick it in under an over.

It is a midtable clash between two average teams TBF

Your guys will soon be above both of them, I think.

So long as we get enough rain that is, although I think Australia might have to lose the ashes for us to leapfrog anyone

 

[trundler]

God I can't await the annihilation when Australia go out with effectively an extra bat next test.

 

[vcs]

Bet it's still Stokes wheeling away when they're 250/7 or thereabouts. They always bring him on for the donkey work. Excellent spell.

 

[GIMH]

You know, I'd almost just take us giving it a good bloody go at this point. Another hapless chase like Edgbaston would be the icing on a dismal cake

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is shockingly clinical from Australia so far. I expected a collapse, it's been kinda boring which is a credit to them.

 

[ajdude]

that was out. root didn't signal haha
