3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[fredfertang]

If Root and Denly achieve nothing else they have at least shown that 'boring' cricket is anything but boring

 

[trundler]

Good to see that Root has remembered how to bat. Can't keep champion players down and all that. Double it.

 

[Garson007]

Loving the positioning of this match.

You have to love Test cricket.

 

[trundler]

That dab to 3rd slip wasn't that bad. Tendulkar used to cheeky stuff like that where he opened the face very often.

 

[Spark]

Lyon really has been poot

 

[Spark]

Poor, even

 

[trundler]

Wouldn't mind a historic upset

 

[trundler]

Poor, even

Or just poo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Root has to at least double it, probably treble it actually.

 

[Maximas]

Would honestly be nice to have the ashes remain in balance after 3 tests

 

[halba]

Wouldn't mind a historic upset

aus didnt score above 250 in any of the innings. why is this an upset?

main issue is australia's brittle batting. see my tim paine thread. he wont last this series. i 350 will be chased down with 5-6 wickets to spare.

 

[King Pietersen]

Been an excellent partnership so far. Just a shame the inevitable lollapse comes once one of them gets out.

 

[trundler]

Did it magically flatten or England were just way better at getting swing?

 

[trundler]

Uh, sloppiness in the field. Ominous...

 

[andruid]

Welcome back Joe Root. Where have you been?

 

[GIMH]

Pretty sure I've seen this movie before... Its the hope that kills you isn't it

 

[hazsa19]

Either 200-2 or 160-7 at the end of the day.

 

[vcs]

This is good stuff from these two.

 

[fredfertang]

Either 200-2 or 160-7 at the end of the day.

The former please

 

[trundler]

Don't see the short pitched plan working
