*Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

[OverratedSanity]

Might be worth a hell for leather 20 overs after Tea and then declare. Need as much time to bowl Aus out and then chase down whatever's needed. No spinner and an unfit Starc should make any chase doable.

Why

Edit: Oh the weather. Still think they should get a huge lead tbh

Trying to think of batters who have put us to the sword with run a ball hundreds in crucial match situations like this in the last decade or so and I distinctly remember Dhawan and Sarfraz.

This game might be over by the end of this session. Lol

Crawley averages 30 in fc cricket

This is what happens when there are no Victorians in the line-up.

The rain will not save you. When we win tomorrow

bruh Boland would of got smoked also

 

[Whistler]

Australia will be so demoralised by this passage of play that England could probably declare now and bowl them out for 100.

222/2

!!!!!

 

[loterry1994]

Only thing saving aus today is a stupid deflation like test 1

 

[Adorable Asshole]

200 on the cards for Crawley.

To put that into perspective, Marcus Harris averages 42 in English fc cricket

Zak Crawley said to Starc at end of play yesterday

"Wait till i bat, You make me an all time great"

Starc looked worried

 

[GIMH]

Stokes said to the BBC after the toss that the aim was to bowl them out and then go big. I think we will bat the day out if we can

JP Duminy randomly banging a hundred at the WACA also comes to mind.

 

[subshakerz]

Why was Smith controlling the field? Has he taken over?

Er... Headingley 2019? Trent Bridge 2015? Lord's 2013?

Headingley and TB were not as bad as this to be frank. This is one sided flogging, TB atleast had great seam bowling.

after 3 5-day tests, it might actually be nice to have a quick one for a change.
Would be fun if Oval is a proper decider

Keep the no balls up boys
