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

[Bahnz]

It’s rare you can say that a single player is responsible for flipping a 2-0 score line to an 0-2 score line, but it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that Jonny is single-handedly losing this series for England.

 

[Daemon]

This is probably going to affect his batting too

 

[jcas0167]

Butler was terrible behind the stumps in the last Ashes now Bairstow. Foakes must hate watching this.

 

[CartyDurham]

That’s out though and smith goes

heard a noise there but review

 

[ataraxia]

What a catch!

 

[Son Of Coco]

I thought he hit it.

 

[mackembhoy]

Bairstow has done his best to lose the Ashes.

Horrendous call taking the gloves off Foakes for a bloke that can't even move his legs.

 

[Gnske]

GREAT CATCH TASTE IT JONNY HATERS

 

[Son Of Coco]

Surely he has.

 

[TimAngas]

Doesn't sound good

 

[social]

Smith has become Watto

 

[WICFan]

Big wicket.

 

[Spark]

Ah

 

[Uppercut]

Bairstow doing his best to single handedly lose the series.

Did Foakes piss in someone's tea?

Yeah Foakes has been so consistently not selected when he should have been that I'm wondering if there's something we don't know about.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Get in there. Should be both of them out though if you could ****ing catch JB.

 

[Athlai]

What a catch, it went towards him and it didn't even bounce first. He must be ecstatic

 

[Alex0paul]

How do you review that?!

 

[Burgey]

I actually feel sorry for Bairstow. His confidence is shot to bits, and it’s also affecting the way he’s batting, could see it first innings at Lord’s. All the more reason to let him just bat ffs. He was one of the form players in the world last year without the gloves.

This stubborn refusal to pick the best keeper, who’s also a decent bat in his own right, is going a long way to crueling hem.

Though he’s caught that

 

[CartyDurham]

Big spike and off you toddle smith

could have been 5 but four is very nice

shaking his head smith but that was a big spike and no question at all

 

[Qlder]

Smith can pick 20+ bats blind folded but doesn't know when he's nicked it lol
