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

[Son Of Coco]

There's been a fair bit of tin-arsery about this morning too, but that's the way it goes.

 

[Gob]

This is getting away now

 

[straw man]

Amazed that didn't carry - not soft hands (it's Brook), just angle of the blade slightly down I guess

 

[morgieb]

Jesus how did that die? Was a pretty healthy edge.

 

[Burgey]

so green in for boland then next test?

Neser

 

[vicleggie]

No Green in for Warner

don't want to have a team of 6 batters against the devastating Chris Woakes.

 

[Howe_zat]

thanks halba for your thoughts

at some point this summer i'm going to take a random selection of halba and hinton posts, show them to some non-cwers and see if they can guess which one is english

 

[vicleggie]

Tim Paine would've gotten to that.

 

[slippy888]

Ipl made Brooks look clueless lol

 

[NZTailender]

I feel like every disparaging comment on Crawley is now a bit off, in the sense he doesn't select himself and you're not really going to dorp yourself from a side. Dude looks like a puppy doing his best and he's not up to standard. Should be dropped but while he's there just let him chase the ball until he hits the sliding glass door.

Did actually play some fine shots - most of them straight to fielders tho

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nowhere near carrying.

Interesting that Brook edges one that doesn't carry too. Pitch going a bit dead ? Bats struggling to time it properly all morning.

 

[Spark]

Will say this is not a pitch that you can really defend 250 on. Too easy to score.

 

[CartyDurham]

Shot

 

[ImpatientLime]

any chance England drop the nepotism baby for the next game?

 

[slippy888]

Cam Green is the Brian McMillan type cricketer Australia have been searching for

 

[G. S. Kohli]

237

Going Down

 

[quincywagstaff]

Australia really need a wicket in the next 25 minutes; not just giving away runs now but regular boundaries.

 

[CartyDurham]

Spinner on for one over pre lunch?

Edges have been dropping short all innings, probably an indication that they're just too deep tbh.

 

[ataraxia]

Almost did the repeat single to 2nd slip / gully there. Same pairing too.
