3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[GotSpin]

Paine is a terrible captain

 

[ajdude]

things were going so fine, why change it

 

[ajdude]

ok australia's turn to implode

 

[morgieb]

That is a very dumb throw given the circumstances.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Poor decision, Garry was in good rhythm

 

[Uppercut]

I think that might be the first time Cummins has been cut all series, which is nuts given the length he bowls. So much control of line.

 

[Spikey]

why

 

[morgieb]

Told you there was another twist left. This is going down to the wire.

 

[andruid]

Jinx em all!

 

[Niall]

Paine is a terrible captain

Not good at batting either.

What does he do right then?

 

[Maximas]

First session: Lyon bowling well and Aus on top, lets take him off and get the 2nd new ball going

Second session: Lyon bowling well and Aus on top, lets take him off and try the short stuff

 

[Neptune]

Madness that the spinner isn’t bowling at archer. Guess we need all the help we can get though so thank you Tim Paine.

First time around made sense, most sides outside of the subcontinent would've done the same thing. Can't blame Paine for Australia bowling pies.

This time around is weirder. Archer is too good of a batsman for it to really work.

good natured PG rated cheeky banter with all and sundry

 

[GoodAreasShane]

A graphic of Australian bowling to Archer was just shown. Said graphic showed Archer as white. Oh dear

 

[ajdude]

i reckon gaffaney would've given that out if they appealed hard enough

 

[morgieb]

I do think his leadership is OK, or at least it seems that way to me.

 

[social]

Ridiculous

Lyon should be on

 

[Maximas]

But why not take it after a few more overs of Patto steaming in and troubling Stokes and Lyon fresh off a wicket? You're probably right but in hindsight looked a poor call

 

[Burgey]

Well this is tense tstl
