4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kumar strikes again.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Strays into his pads, and four. Head looks comfortable in that zone

 

[Burgey]

OMG THEY BURNED THEIR REVIEW THAT IS TERRIBLE THEY DESERVE TO LOSE THE TEST MATCH NOW BECAUSE USING THE REVIEW PROPERLY IS WHAT THE GAME IS ALL ABOUT I HOPE IT COSTS THEM AGAIN IN LIKE THREE OVERS’ TIME LOLz

 

[Spark]

I would have been so ****ing angry if he had chipped that to square leg literally one minute before tea.

Don't need to chase Head here, just outside off will work.

 

[King Pietersen]

Just stop bowling full and on leg to Head please, got away with 1 super full one but he loves it there. Keep sticking it outside off and he's going to edge one eventually.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Head looks like a mook outside off. Terrible

 

[Burgey]

Don't need to chase Head here, just outside off will work.

We’ve all gone chasing Head mate. Let’s be honest here

 

[Spark]

This is a terrible innings

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Next ball he stray to his pads again. Head gets the better of him, four runs. Coverton is not using his head.

 

[hazsa19]

This is painful viewing. There's enough there for the bowlers.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's pouring. Don't think any more play today

 

[Spark]

No idea how Head survived those 17 balls

 

[King Pietersen]

It was pouring here about 10 mins ago, was really bad for about 5 mins but has passed again. It's just passing showers, the wind means it blows through so quickly

 

[Spark]

This is painful viewing. There's enough there for the bowlers.

Tbf these aren't exactly easy conditions to dial in a line and length and get into rhythm

 

[Burgey]

This is a terrible innings

Lol why? He’s come in just before tea in the ****ing dark and the ball is doing plenty. And he’s going a run a ball. **** I wish Warner played like this instead of prodding everything and getting caught behind leaving the ****ing ball. The bloke is uncomplicated with minimal footwork. It’ll always look bad if he nicks off but he’s precisely the bloke to get in and take Australia out of sight after tea. Perfect foil for Smith.

And that’s a really good session for Australia btw. Shame Labuschagne got out but I’d readily take only losing one in such dodgy conditions with batsmen having to stop and start.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That shot to bring up his 50 was the highlight of the session.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Yep Australia in a decent position here. I know the conditions are not great, but it’s not been pretty from our bowlers so far.

 

[Burgey]

What time can they play to this evening?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Quite funny taking tea at 5:30 and expecting much play after. Horrible day for players and spectators. Bowling way too expensive.
