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

[Burgey]

Fmd who is this guy and why is Keith Miller looking like Mitch Marsh?

 

[CartyDurham]

is it even worth getting annoyed at crawley ?

It’s way past that now. He is in this team until retirement, serious injury, plague, famine, world war 3 and aliens land with Elvis

 

[Burgey]

Starc brought back here specifically for the Bairstow lbw/ through the gate I reckon

Yoink!

 

[Calm_profit]

Both hometown boys playing

 

[CartyDurham]

He's been doing that for the last half hour and got plenty of singles tbf. This just deviated that bit more.

Was at least a foot outside off and if he can’t sense that, he is forever going to get out to that ****

was a Micky mouse bit of batting

It would help if someone who is not Burns, Sibley or Hameed averaged 70odd in a CC1 season.

 

[Burgey]

cheeseburger not exactly hustling for the second there

 

[Gob]

Needs to attack the stumps here

 

[slowfinger]

I mean at the end of the day it's a batsman that averages 28 getting 5 runs more than his average. Playing exactly at his level if you ask me

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

is it even worth getting annoyed at crawley ?

Yes it is. Maybe selectors will take notice.

 

[Gob]

Hit the ****ing stumps

Exactly . I’ve never seen the like in my time of watching England since the 70s onwards

how he remains guaranteed a start is beyond me, so I treat any runs at all as a bonus

 

[Saket1209]

Starc for Bairstow

 

[slowfinger]

You can't tempt Bairstowe, Root, even Duckett with these ones, but Pope/Crawley/Brook will always be tempted and that's why I don't think they'll reach the same level.

 

[loterry1994]

If aus sneaks one more wicket it’s their day

 

[Aidan11]

Yes it is. Maybe selectors will take notice.

Plays for Rob Key's Kent. He's got a job for life.

Duckett has left about 15 balls in his last ten tests. He fishes at them all the time

 

[honestbharani]

I think Aus have a very very slightly above par total on board here. But given conditions should ease out tomorrow, I think England should think of 300 as their par.

Oh yes, had heard that but forgot.
