4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[fredfertang]

Wade was giving Archer loads of **** when he batted. This could be fun.

Not for Wade I hope

 

[stephen]

Basically Head has gotten out the way I expected him to get out this series - by not getting his feet into the right position which means he's missing the straight ones.

 

[Spikey]

this is literally why early 1st innings declarations annoy me so much. funny how runs made when it's extremely easy at the end of the first innings count the same on the scoreboard as runs made now, in the second innings, after 12 wickets have fallen for ~200 in the last two and a bit sessions

spark, you have to be aggressive in declaring

i don't know why, but you just have to

 

[Burgey]

Where was all this chatting in the 1st inns, Archie?

I think it was a bit cold or something .

 

[Spikey]

idea for 5th test: drop harris for usman, tell warner to bat right handed to broad

 

[wrongun]

Any lead over 300 and Aus should win this. Headingley doesnt happen all the time, plus Smith is in the field to correct any errors by Paine

 

[91Jmay]

Leach on first change I reckon.

 

[Spark]

Leach on first change I reckon.

is stokes fit to bowl?

 

[Burgey]

Leach on first change I reckon.

Yeah be a perfect time for him.

 

[91Jmay]

is stokes fit to bowl?

Don't trust him to be honest. 4 overs for 20 here would be a killer.

 

[Burgey]

****, he’s made another Rambo movie? Seriously?

Smith up to 600 for the series. In three tests.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Smith is dialled in yet again. Just that little window at the start but poof, closed shut now.

 

[91Jmay]

Shane Warne's laugh is nails on a ****ing chalkboard. Up there with Ian Botham generally talking.

He really does have a substandard personality

[Spark]

He also has a point here though. Also not the first person I've heard bring up that thing encouraging dubious techniques.

 

[Burgey]

That was an interesting little chat about the use of side arms. There might be something to it as well, but they’re a lot cheaper than the shoulder reconstruction I had after throwing about 50,000 balls to the young bloke over the years.

 

[Burgey]

Wade, m8. Calm the **** down.

He's looked solid so far.

 

[wrongun]

He really does have a substandard personality

You say that as if you know him personally or are his scorned ex.
