3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[TheJediBrah]

I think you're forgetting just how bad Chris Martin was. Lyon is a decent tail ender who in many teams would bat as high as 9. Massive gulf between the two.

I deliberately used the term "moderate upgrade" because it was ****ing meaningless (and a cricketweb meme, which you should well know being the **** that invented it)

Of course I don't think that Nathan Lyon is anywhere near as bad a batsman as Chris Martin you dimwits. I've been praising what a good no. 10/11 batsman he is for years.

Cricketweb reading comprehension is going through an abysmal patch lately

Well you’ve spelt “one” wrong, to start with.

tbf a typo isn't quite the same as incorrect spelling, in the context

England will score slightly less than Tom Latham.

I'll say 156.

Cricketweb Poll idea: Who is a better Test batsman: Alex Hales or JJ Roy?

man i had no idea hales played so many tests

 

[Pothas]

Agree except on Woakes. Puts paid to the 'if Jimmy is fit...' discussion from last week

Yeah Woakes has been poor this series given the conditions, also weird how little he has bowled.

 

[NUFAN]

congratulations

A Spikey like means this Siddle-less Test was worth it.

Yeah "far better" might be an overstatement, but a lot of the bad fielding first innings ended up in his figures. Maybe deserved 1 more wicket at 20 less runs.

ajdude what's this about the coleman heading to sydney

 

[Burgey]

Best result of Australia here is Roy fluke-slogs 50 odd and keeps his spot.
