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

Ipl made Brooks look clueless lol

he's still recovering from the food poisoning.

 

[morgieb]

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

Yeah, I think they're trying a bit too hard. Not bouncing Brook enough either.

 

[vicleggie]

Spinner on for one over pre lunch?

Great concept, trouble is Murphy doesn't spin it.

 

[Jarquis]

We're overpitched a ridiculous amount this series.

Hasn’t it been the opposite historically?

 

[NZTailender]

Just remembered who it is exactly Todd Murphy reminds me of. Jimmy Darmody's nervous college mate in Boardwalk Empire

 

[Spark]

Hasn’t it been the opposite historically?

Nah we made this mistake a lot in 2015 - trying too hard for the magic swinging ball so we overpitched too much. 2019 the success was built on hitting a hard length.

 

[Shady Slim]

if you could give prime kohli the harry brook coverdrive you might well have the greatest batsman of all time

 

[Croadymeister]

Come on England make me eat my words of saying this Ashes is over. Produce a couple of wins and against all odds give us a decider at The Oval

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Brooks need 20 more for 1000 test runs

10 test 16 innings now

Although he starts same as Gavaskar

 

[Adorable Asshole]

if you could give prime kohli the harry brook coverdrive you might well have the greatest batsman of all time

[CartyDurham]

Soft soft soft root

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Root out.

2015 could be understood by Australia having so few rusn to play with that they basically had to pray for a miracle to stay in Tests. Here I think they've been tricked a bit by conditions, it generally hasn't done anywhere near as much as it usually does.

But yeah, I think the bowlers have strayed a bit of what was so effective in 2019.

 

[Spark]

That has come completely from nowhere.

 

[Shady Slim]
