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

[CartyDurham]

I was hoping for 250 in a perfect day but that is disappearing but I would now be very happy for 300 or under

I’m praying for this to become reality

and Anderson finds an edge off starc but short of the slips

 

[trundler]

Babar would've taken that half chance

 

[Saket1209]

Anderson has bolwed pretty well with no luck.

 

[Alex0paul]

Doubt they’ll get the new ball tonight at this rate

 

[GIMH]

Babar would've taken that half chance

Oh

 

[CartyDurham]

Really thinking Anderson is retiring after the Oval test or even possibly this one

 

[CartyDurham]

That was a high class clip for four through leg by Starc and have another one for good measure

 

[Saket1209]

Babar would've taken that half chance

But the question is who would have created that chance for Azam to take that?

 

[CartyDurham]

Well this could be interesting, Moeen, wickets or Australia getting to 300 quickly

 

[Saket1209]

Anderson has bolwed pretty well with no luck.

Again I Vaughan it.

 

[trundler]

But the question is who would have created that chance for Azam to take that?

Shaheen

 

[trundler]

Anderson needs a couple of wickets here because you know he'll be useless in the second dig

 

[Saket1209]

Shaheen

Witht the Old ball? Nah

 

[CartyDurham]

Steady over Moeen

 

[wpdavid]

Anderson has bolwed pretty well with no luck.

Tidy without being theatening often enough? Sounds like a summary of his series to date. It would have been a heck of a call to play Tongue instead of him, and I probably woudn't have been brave enough to make that decision, but the youngster may have been the better bet after all. Still, there's always the second innings.

 

[CartyDurham]

Two slips and no gulley

 

[CartyDurham]

Good to see the best fielder in England subbing in for someone

excellent move

 

[trundler]

Witht the Old ball? Nah

Wouldn't have made it past the new ball

 

[CartyDurham]

Is Anderson breaking 80 mph here ?

 

[Saket1209]

Wouldn't have made it past the new ball

His record in Eng doesn't speak like that. And starc doesn't come to bat with new ball. Warner plays it pretty well against Pak
