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

[Gob]

isn't Murphy like ,good tho? why don't they trust him? just inept captaincy?

Don't think it's an issue with trust

This pitch just didn't have much for him

 

[chris.hinton]

Well played England

BUT

If Australia applied themselves better with the bat then it’s would have been 3-0 another 60-70 and it would have made the difference. Aussie bowlers **** their pants when a batsman goes aggressive even Mark Wood.

 

[ashley bach]

Well done England thoroughly deserved, Wood and Woakes were great changes to make.

 

[Saket1209]

IF CUMMMINS BOWLED WELL IN 2 INNINGS AUS WOULD HAVE WON.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice win that.

Now what team do we pick for next test?

Anderson for Robinson and Foakes for Bairstow I'd do.

 

[Spark]

Well done England. Terrific win after getting themselves back in the game. Wood and Woakes did so well with bat and ball. Aus tactics cost them terribly.

Disappointed England has won a game but Aus got no one to blame but themselves here. Need to work the tactics out to the tail especially

You just can't keep control of a game as a captain when everyone is on the fence. Can't really talk to the bowler, can't talk to your senior pros, and it's so easy to get your head spinning in that situation. The catch that was taken and the one that wasn't, even the bizarre decision to give Murphy a suicide over, all really showed their heads had gone.

It's such a horrible tactic. I desperately hope we only see it sparingly from now on.

 

[Saket1209]

Mark wood or Woakes one of the two should be mom.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Gg

 

[straw man]

**** me, never don't pick Woakes at home clearly.

basically the English Ashwin

 

[Spikey]

I can’t believe they went against it. It’s been a well known rule for decades

The people need to consider this when calling for Warner's dropping

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Such a weird series that the sides who have lost each game probably thought they should have won each game after the match finished.

 

[Saket1209]

Carty can now relax

Who are you and what have you done with the real Chris Hinton?

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m going to give Brook some praise as he was clearly feeling the heat but that 70 odd got us into the position to finish the game , when it was rocking with quick wickets

what a game and a pleasure to share cricket through the eyes of everyone

apart from Burgey

only jesting big lad

 

[loterry1994]

Pat had good captaincy the first two tests but this test he did cost them.

 

[Saket1209]

Such a weird series that the sides who have lost each game probably thought they should have won each game after the match finished.

Yeah a really competitive series.

 

[Niall]

**** me, never don't pick Woakes at home clearly. @Niall I take it all back.

Its one of my less awful opinions so I may as well milk it.

Not sure what the situation with Robinson is, can you have Tongue and Wood in the same team?

 

[Burgey]

Might aswell go in with 5 seamers if Australia can't trust Murphy

They leaked too many runs to give him a prolonged spell. He will play and should. Green for Warner at the top and Boland needs to go for Neser

Green
Khawaja
Marnus
Smith
Head
Marsh
Carey
Neser
Starc
Cummins
Murphy

 

[CartyDurham]

Carty can now relax

You ain’t wrong my lad , I’m dripping with sweat going through that

typing finger is being iced shortly

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

ALEX CAREY YOUVE DROPPED THE ASHES.

Hope you're joking. Otherwise **** off lol
