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

[Croadymeister]

So frustrating that selectors couldn't find a way to get Foakes in the team as Wicketkeeper, Woody couldn't be available for the first two tests and we chose playing Golf in Scotland instead of catching practice. Things could have been so different right now if some of this had happened.

 

[Croadymeister]

would you say that jofra archer if fit would bring a bit of "calypso cricket" and "exaggerated swagger" in to the squad

He won't return to test cricket unfortunately. I also feel sorry for Wood that he couldn't get to the bottom of that run up issue which blighted his early test career with niggles.

He was actually pretty extreme on his cricketing views, but yeah not a patch on his... other views.

Ok now I'm curious. What other views. Or are you not going to risk saying

Massive racist, of the "all Muslims should be treated as terrorists" variety. Also just a generally unpleasant person even before those views started cropping up tbh.

Big Farage fan.

I'm actually quite supportive a lot of his 'other views' but I'm the black sheep on CW at the best of times.

At the worst of times I'm just a ****.

To be clear this was not a view I was 'quite supportive' of.

The just stop oil protester is just realising how close he came to being dropped on his head.

Excellent take

 

[Adorable Asshole]

This is the perfect situation for bazball.

Plus does anyone else find Wood action funny?

At the worst of times in just a ****.

Black sheep matter

Backing Todd to do a good job if called upon, seems to have a pretty cool head on his young shoulders.

On another note, does anyone know a good highlights site, I have been using Cricket Highlights 2 but seems to only be 5 minute segments at the mo. Google not much help and most of them look like scams. I live in a primitive country near Australia that Bazball originated from but they decided not to show the Ashes on Sky.

Just search for highlights of the game/day you want on YouTube.

10% of the top results will be Indians speaking English in a very thick accent just talking about the game for fifteen minutes without any highlights but most of them will be good.

Why is Boland ahead of Neser in the pecking order? We could've won the game already with Ness, the pitch is perfect for him plus another 30-50 runs with the bat

Him and Cumo steaming in would've been unplayable

Boland isn't that great on english wickets and is god awful with the bat in comparison. Yes he has credits mainly from kookaburra performances

In England
Neser> Boland same way Marsh> Green


Really think the selectors have missed the plot entirely

 

[Prince EWS]

Green bad

Neser good

Yes we've seen your past 200 posts.

Yeah but if you're talking about NZ, it's on TVNZ online free to air. It's not really a 'good' highlight package, it actually frustrates **** out of me.

 

[SteveNZ]

Speaking of highlights...there cannot be a harder hitter of a cricket ball than Mitch Marsh. The shot that got me was the one on 54 where he drove a ball from Wood off a length sort of inside out, and it was still picking up pace as it hit the rope. Insane batting. I can't think of anyone who hits it,even not timed, to the boundary with such velocity

Yeah it is live and free on TVNZ + and Duke (the latter is regular non-smart tv).

Shame Wood is so old. Would be great to get another 10 years of this post 2019 version of him. Never used to rate him but his pace rattles good batsman like no one since moustache era Johnson. Even when you're on the receiving end of it seeing batsman facing bodily harm is the best thing in cricket for some morbid reason. The gladitorial aspect of it I suppose.

He's like a better and more accurate version of Shoaib
