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

[MW1304]

Christ alive. Feeling like a very 2013/14 mashup innings. Both scary, hyper-quick bowling and annoying lower-middle order partnerships in one.

Think most people would *** after head but you do you.

You're either younger than I think or you've been incredibly fortunate to not have had any bad head

Nah don't think so

He’s a pretty tall unit tbf

 

[Croadymeister]

If Root doesn't drop Marsh in the slips you wouldn't be saying this tbf..Reason the bloke averages 25

That drop looks monumentally costly

 

[Burgey]

You're either younger than I think or you've been incredibly fortunate to not have had any bad head

Few things worse than being ring barked tbh

Turning into another ‘if only’ match already.
We’ve reverted to the Root/ Silverwood era of sloppiness in the field.

Both.

 

[Croadymeister]

300+ nailed on here

Shuld have been 100/6

Yeah we have taken the foot off the throat again, Root you better make up for this with the bat in a massive way

 

[Preed]

Has root dropped the ashes.Our fielding is appalling .Try practicing instead of just doing slogging practice.why does a drop always cost us a hundred but if Australia drop one they up their tempo and create another chance

 

[Spark]

Yeah we have taken the foot off the throat again

Yeah, regardless of what happens now Aus are in the game - when you get put in in conditions like this that's as much as you can hope for

Marsh always up his game against England,Last time he visited in England he got a 5 fer

 

[Spark]

I hope Travis Head keeps looking terrible against the short ball so England keep bowling it there instead of where all the wicket-taking opportunities are being created.

 

[_Ed_]

Luck aside, some absolutely stunning batting in that 50.

I was gonna say it feels like we've time travelled back to the last Ashes down under. Wood and woakes are playing, England fielders can't catch a ball to save their lives, keeper is dropping sitters while taking blinders, stokes is getting no ball wickets, Robinson can barely get through one spell before hitting lower than 130, middle order bat noene expected to smash it everywhere walking in and doing just that.

Robinson clocking 126 an hour after lunch on day 1. This guy would be trash if he played for any other country.

This pitch wouldn't have been out of place in 2021/22 either. Looks quite similar to the Brisbane and Hobart pitches in that series.

 

[Burgey]

Has root dropped the ashes.

It’s 2-0 already mate

[trundler]

England pissing away ideal bowling conditions on account for their inability to catch is becoming a consistent theme
