*Official Third Test at Headingley* 25-29 August

[Uppercut]

Hmm yeah. I seem to remember telling @Uppercut that he would have a good series.

If it’s not in writing you’re good.

Who was the last very aggressive batsman to have a good series in England? Hard to think of one.

 

[hendrix]

Jesus, you gotta wonder about ball tracking there. I'd have bet me house on that being out........and doubled the bet watching the replay.

Think the camera must be slightly towards long on.

Had the opposite issue in the WTC. The camera must've been towards long off. Balls that looked like they were going down leg were actually hitting the stumps on ball tracking.

Conway?

Not a full series, but went ok.

 

[duffer]

We can't score 300 anymore. It's scary bad

 

[Pothas]

Oh man it just got better.

 

[hendrix]

why wouldn't you just bowl Overton at the tail.

Yeah. Hell even top tier stroke making atgs like Lara and ponting and sanga have mere decent records.

 

[Adders]

Moeen is still a perfectly fine bowler eh?

 

[Uppercut]

Conway?

Not a full series, but went ok.

Does he have a reputation for attacking a lot? S/R in his first few games is only 50.

No idea. Probably Steve Smith when he went past 50....

Pant did get a ton last time, expected low scores but thought he would come good at least once or twice. Still might I guess...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Because it is funnier when Moeen gets them instead.

 

[hendrix]

Because it is funnier when Moeen gets them instead.

it is pretty good.

 

[Uppercut]

Probably fair to say Root in this series too tbf. Qualitatively so so different from Pant though.

 

[Adders]

Thats the ball of the century right there. Turned square

 

[BoyBrumby]

Maybe I'm conflating his T20 MO with his test one, but wouldn't call him an accumulator either.

Angelo Mathews 2014?

Kohli maybe counts as aggressive, though he didn't doing it by throwing the bat in his 2018 tour.

 

[Pothas]

My first thought to the question was actually Gilchrist in 2001.

 

[Arachnodouche]

I love how depressed Bhogle and the rest sound atm. Always the upside to an Indian surrender.

Saba karim the kinda guy that namedrops The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.

 

[Pothas]

I mean there are really not many players like Pant at all.

 

[Furball]

Jeez, Pujara's wicket was a ****ing shocker.
