*Official Third Test at Headingley* 25-29 August

[wpdavid]

Curran poses less of a threat when he goes around the wicket. Maybe bring back Robinson for a couple of overs before lunch.

EDIT
And now Root's injured.

 

[wpdavid]

Where tf is the short-leg?

Rahane is such a bat-pad candidate.

Chasing the ball. Curran had dropped one delivery too short, so out came the short leg.

 

[Shri]

root's off

is that the series

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bloke's always been a shocking starter, no? It's whether he gets through it in one piece.

He used to get through his terrible starts back then by just throwing his hands at everything outside off. The current version tries to play himself in by being some rock solid calm zen master and it barely ever works. His attacking game is almost entirely gone tbh.

Bring back nutter rahane ffs.

drugs. give root all the drugs.

i cheered when anderson got kohli (his form slump is funny) so i guess im supporting the english scum today.

 

[White Ball]

Not watching at the moment following live scores! What’s happened to Root?

Hurt his hand when an edge dropped just short of him.

 

[White Ball]

Hurt his hand when an edge dropped just short of him.

That can sting but I doubt it will be too serious although you never know it’s possible to get a hairline fracture depending on the impact of the ball hitting

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pollock mentioned this earlier in the series and now I cant unsee how weak robinson's left arm is in his action and follow through. Going to cause him a lot of issues.

 

[GIMH]

Best leave Jimmy off next session so Root has time for his thumb to get better

 

[Burgey]

Buttler as vice captain is like Travis Head with wicketkeeping gloves on

Daily reminder that Head > Wade.

 

[Noumenon]

Have I dwelt on the fact that making KL open is a mistake? The second mistake would be to drop him from the XI based on his failure as an opener. But Kohli is fully capable of doubling down on his nonsense calls.

 

[wpdavid]

Good timing that.

 

[Spark]

rip.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was on the cards yeah. Kiss of the edge.

 

[Burgey]

Goodness me these fellas like to play away from their body

 

[OverratedSanity]

Please let the pain end. Try out anyone they may be equally **** but I dont care.

Didn’t he make a massive hundred last test?
