4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[wpdavid]

Doubtful, though with only 5 sessions left...may as well have another hit and a slog. Batting last on this wicket would be bad.

Tomorrow's sunny weather forecast suggests that you're right. As long as Monday's rain doesn't arrive early. Even in current form, the game's set up nicely for Warner this afternoon.

Warner won't pass ten.

If there’s a 200 odd lead at least he has a bit of a Licence to throw wood which can’t do him any harm

Warner won't pass ten.

One could argue that he's due to make a few.

Everybody loves a downhill skiier...

7 minutes to lunch and only 22 overs bowled...and that's with Lyon bowling 6 of them

 

[Starfighter]

That's the third missed no-ball in two overs.

That was a good Yorker by Cummins. Feels like the first time he's ever bowled one though.

It's been yawningly slow, with breaks for banging on the pitch and stupidly elongated field adjustment conversations.

 

[Starfighter]

Now follow that up with the yorker.

 

[Spark]

Seriously the bloke has to have one of the highest bowled/lbw percentages going around. York him already.

 

[Starfighter]

Do it you idiot.




Sometimes I think that Cummins is actually pretty stupid.

 

[Burgey]

Need Starc back to blow Broad’s pad off here

 

[Burgey]

Christ he’s bowling well here

 

[morgieb]

Superb last over. Just wish Cummins had a yorker in his armory.

Lyon's been pretty subpar all Test.

 

[Burgey]

I think Lyon’s probably rat arsed tbh. Easy to forget with spinners the amount of overs he’s bowled this series. Basically spends 2/3 of every day bowling from one end.

Not an excuse btw, I agree he’s been poor this test but I suspect fatigue is a small part of it

Healy thinks he isn't quite completing his action properly. Would explain a bit

England look hosed here. No chance of them winning this, but if they can prolong the innings for even 10 overs or so after the lunch break, it could go a long way towards helping them save the game.

Must say I hadn’t been watching from that perspective but if that’s the case it ought to be easy enough to fix, and you’d hope one of the 842 assistant coaches might have picked up on it for him

Either way, they'll have to bat 10-12 overs before close of play today I think. So 100 or so overs to survive in the 4th innings. Not very likely to happen.
