3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[Burgey]

Is there a reason why the UK cameramen seem to take a lot of shots of the players’ crotches between deliveries? Seems an odd choice to show

Looking for sandpaper

Looking for sandpaper

Why would Stokes and Denly have sandpaper while they’re batting?

Exactly

 

[Burgey]

They give you nothing these blokes

359 is still so far away. Australia haven't lost control of the scoring rate at any stage so I'd still be extremely surprised if England pull this off. Monumental task.

 

[vcs]

Root's been great so far.

No but we have far more chance now than at 12.45 when the innings started.

Why was the tranmere game postponed?

Why was the tranmere game postponed?

They were meant to play Bury who haven't played a game yet.

 

[Maximas]

Root and particularly Stokes have pretty much decided that the chase has been postponed until tomorrow morning, really put up the shutters, and so they should, the ashes depends on it

 

[GIMH]

Root's been great so far.

Try telling that to Burgey

Why not?

Try telling that to Burgey

He’s been lucky but you need luck on this deck and he’s played well in between. Still just a nothing human being.

 

[Burgey]

Lyon’s been excellent after tea as well.

what's her name

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why not?

The whole club buggered off to Plymouth.

Owner is a ********* who hasn't paid anyone for 6 months. Almost gone bankrupt but looks like they may have a new buyer at the last minute, got a few extra days to finalise it or get thrown out of the league and club folds.

 

[GIMH]

Why not?

Financially messed up. Won promotion last season despite not being able to afford their players. PFA paid their wages march and April. So basically they've been on a transfer embargo and the EFL haven't let them play as they're mot satisfied they can complete the season.

They were due to be kicked out the league last night but got an extension to Tuesday as there's a takeover allegedly in the offing

 

[ajdude]

marnus' fringe isn't fooling anybody

 

[Burgey]

So presumably if they fold everyone gets three points and there’s a bye for the rest of the season?
