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

[Lefty]

Surely you bring Wood back now to bowl short at Head

It’s obvious to everyone but the English cricket team.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Christ is that true what they said about Archer? He bowled 40 overs in an innings in a test vs NZ? Wtf waa Root thinking? Questions to answer

Yep - 42 overs in the innings, madness looking back now https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...nd-vs-england-1st-test-1187671/full-scorecard

Great for batting is an overstatement but looks a very good cricket wicket to me

nah, coming onto the bat with a lightning outfield and not much movement is great batting conditions

 

[Son Of Coco]

It’s Head

Never looks good until he does

Yeah, that's a fair point.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Woakes mind virus

 

[TimAngas]

holy **** i just checked marsh's test record and its so bad. how do we not have a better backup allrounder?

It's true his test record is awful. He's been picked off of very good batting performances in recent years for WA and limited overs success.

 

[CartyDurham]

One more wicket please

 

[GotSpin]

Atherton has been really good in the comms lately

 

[Spark]

Great bowlers would clean up on this deck. Extra bounce and pace and just enough movement is exactly what they would want

I remember everyone saying he looked like he could care less during that innings.

NZ posters are pretty rude hey

 

[human]

at this rate aus will get to 320 by stumps if they survive the day

 

[Burgey]

Oh yeah. Was painful to watch.

Really? Nah, can’t be true. How many did NZ make ffs? That’s almost cruel and unusual punishment

The best part was the mental breakdown George Dobell had about how NZ were producing dreadful wickets with so little life in them that even rockstar Jofra Archer couldn’t get wickets. NZ ended up winning by an innings of course.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Wood only 4 overs... I guess they told him it was a T20 to get him on the field

 

[CartyDurham]

How many overs are you basing that on?

 

[quincywagstaff]

Shouldn't Carey come in ahead of him in the order?

 

[Gnske]

Really? Nah, can’t be true. How many did NZ make ffs? That’s almost cruel and unusual punishment

BJ Watling made a double ton

You can imagine how painful that was to watch let alone be in the field for

 

[Athlai]

I remember everyone saying he looked like he could care less during that innings.

NZ posters are pretty rude hey

We broke his spirit and it was Roots fault

 

[Burgey]

Atherton has been really good in the comms lately

Yeah excellent today imo
