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

[halba]

Also brook could get MOM for his match winning- and potentially series deciding knock here- if he stays unbeaten.Usually they love to give MOM for the match winning knocks.

 

[Burgey]

Can he just give Murphy an over to see how England would look to play?

Is it a gamble too far ?

Yes it is

How ****ing good is Test cricket.

 

[Saket1209]

they should drop boland for the next test

 

[halba]

they should drop boland for the next test

his card has defo been marked, over rated since the WTC, i never rated him in england there was no proof of him being good in Eng conditions

 

[loterry1994]

Neser and haze in next test drop Boland and Murphy

Should be played more by other teams too.

yep, 4 man pace attack should be the go until Nathan Lyon returns to cricket. If we dont have a world class spinner yet(Murphy is only age 22) we shouldnt play him. I dont see ENG playing Ahmed- he was dropped from the Squad, also aged young- 18

 

[Daemon]

Yes it is

Indeed, the time for Murphy was maybe 45mins before lunch.

No spin option at old Trafford where it can turn big ?

Without spinner in Manchester isnt a good decision.

 

[halba]

Without spinner in Manchester isnt a good decision.

i dont think its spins in any of the grounds anymore in Eng. Also u need someone who can turn it, Murphy can't turn the ball.

 

[CartyDurham]

Woakes got in an awkward position there

 

[Saket1209]

Cummins is bowling his heart out in this game. Really exhausted.

 

[vicleggie]

is Cummins going to try and york Woakes here

 

[halba]

someone needs a massive wicket taking over here otherwise gone very soon.

 

[ImpatientLime]

friendly reminder that short term Woakes gains is long term England pain

the selectors will get their usual collective amnesia and that mother****er will be bowling 80mph lollipops in India in January 2024.

 

[Line and Length]

Green in for Boland

I think it would have turned here on day 5

It also affects the over rate plus they dont have the option of root. So if it turns then Aus will definitely miss him.
