3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[Burgey]

Really good captaincy by Paine, post lunch.

Yeah he’s been very good. Worked the bowlers well, had solid plans.

Top shot that

 

[TestMatch]

Feel so bad for Stokes. Worked his ass off with the bat and ball.

There’s no way we should be resting any of the bowlers for the 4th test. I actually want to win the series, not just retain it

yeah spot on. 2-2 would be ****ing **** (assuming we win this)

 

[stephen]

Modern bats :/

 

[Burgey]

Quite a test match from Stokes, this. Not done yet either

thinking of getting jack leach's neural DSP plugin when it comes out next week

it'll just be drawn series at 2-2 (retain ashes) in brackets.
To win an ashes in england hasnt been done for decades.
They'll need to win this one(stokes still there) and 1 out of the next 2. with archer in great form and anderson coming back, its not an easy task.

 

[TestMatch]

There's something godly about a batsman shielding a tailender. Does any other sport have anything remotely resembling "farming the strike"?

Was it you who was trying to explain 'mathcore' to me about 5 years ago?

sounds like something i'd do yeah. or maybe dcye?

 

[Burgey]

Lol that’s a total top edge gone the journey

 

[ajdude]

**** stokes is gonna win this isn't he. and i aint even gonna be mad, he's so good

 

[morgieb]

God damnit, second time he's gotten lucky off Lyon.

 

[Maximas]

God it's dreadful when the camera angle is unclear for a moment and the box goes silent...

 

[stephen]

Stokes trying to get his hundred and the victory here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shame stokes isn't more likeable, he's such an insanely good cricketer.

 

[ajdude]

reckon warner and head should be in the deep here

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wouldn't put it past him doing a Perera here

 

[artvandalay]

That boundary rope is too far inside.

 

[stephen]

That shot is incredible.
