*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[TimAngas]

I don't understand where this idea is coming from, smith averaged 53 in 2021 and 58 2022, it's not not like he's fallen off a cliff

He's struggled against very fast bowling of late.

 

[Burgey]

Guessing the answer was yes

Hit the perfect length and some sweet movement. Was a peach

 

[CartyDurham]

Wood off replaced by Robinson

so we were all wrong, he didn’t get an over or two

 

[human]

He's struggled against very fast bowling of late.

examples?

 

[Burgey]

Can’t believe I’m on the train and missing this spell. Sounds epic.

Why do they need trains in Singapore? Just walk everywhere

 

[morgieb]

Wood off now? Boooooo

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Thing I love about this is it doesn't matter which team you support, you can't say anything bad about the beautiful sight of raw pace knocking over a top batter.

 

[chris.hinton]

Australians are scared off Wood

 

[human]

**** this **** robinson again

 

[Athlai]

Where's wood

 

[TimAngas]

examples?

Nortje and Wood in Australia.

 

[CartyDurham]

I know before anyone starts if only wood and archer had been fit this summer

Would have been a spectacle to see those two thundering in

 

[human]

i need to see some wood

 

[trundler]

**** me what a nut

Yes that's how I reacted to that ball too

 

[Daemon]

Why do they need trains in Singapore? Just walk everywhere

The weather is disgusting

 

[Bahnz]

I don’t like the way this thread is heading, so: **** this **** Mark Wood

CW reacting to Wood’s bowl speeds

 

[Kraken]

They took him off? Jesus you surely had to let him go for one more

 

[Burgey]

Thing I love about this is it doesn't matter which team you support, you can't say anything bad about this kind of proper fast bowling knocking over a top batter

Yeah it’s why fast bowling is always the hardest test. Not necessarily in terms of batting but the physical threat aspect it brings too

Wood can be solid

 

[human]

wood's nuts are steaming hot
