I support Hartlepool Carty.

Oh no

 

[Burgey]

Is this the ground where they built the hotel overlooking the field, or is that Old Trafford?

Old Trafford

Boland for Starc now pls

Good field placements from Aus, makes sense to limit boundaries and just let us get ourselves out. Anyone moaning about it is a boomer.

Yep. We had a chance from day 1 of the series to adapt and take the easy runs. Still would’ve scored at 4 an over. Would’ve been interesting to see what the Aussie plan B was. Instead we’ve chosen to die on our hill.

@chris.hinton

just a sweet to see me through the last session

 

[CartyDurham]

That’s the best shot of Englands innings so far

need a big innings from root

 

[CartyDurham]

Until that one by creepy

How have Marsh and Crawley looked the best two bats on show on a pitch with a good amount in it.

 

[Burgey]

That’s a great shot

 

[Preed]

Now all the hype about Brook can stop .He does not have the tequnique against high class test bowling.In Pakistan he was in when the ball was old.Whose brain fart decided he was a number3.Bairstow would have been a better choice

 

[loterry1994]

Crawley looks like a good batsmen with decent technique not sure how his average is down. Maybe he can’t keep the concentration king enough

Crawley has looked pretty good in a few knocks this series tbf to him

For a guy who isn't very good he does play some lovely drives and pulls. If only Key taught him where his off stump is.

 

[91Jmay]

Root has wanted that two 3x off his batting, and Crawley only goes for it when it's his runs. That's excellent stuff, makes me like him slightly more.

It’s his habit of scoring majestic 30 and 40s and getting out

that graphic showed he scored ok in all first innings but then out for single figures second innings

he is so inconsistent

 

[Uppercut]

The fast pitch and fast outfield is giving batsmen so much value for shots.

 

[Burgey]

Ordinary over there from Cummins. Didn’t stick to one side of the wicket. Worth giving Marsh a go soonish. Been his day so far

 

[CartyDurham]

Bairstow would have stopped that
