*Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

[Cabinet96]

Bresnan has bowled OK in these two tests so far, but he's still doesn't keep it as tight as he used too.

RIP Miserly Bresnan. Died 2011.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah mate, Fawad has just taken 4/80 against the Saffers

You've forgotten the golden rule - every Australian Test spinner's selection must be more left field than the last. Turner's definitely the best spinner in the country who would count as a more left field selection than Agar was at this point.

I came back to call you a ****.

Shh you, no-ones interested because Sanz has come back too. It's like they say every good super-hero needs a nemesis. I'll let the people decide which way round that goes.

 

[91Jmay]

Bresnan, Swann and Broad have bowled excellently so far.

 

[Cabinet96]

Q: Are we overstating the ease of batting on this deck based on Rogers' innings?

Good thing for you guys is it'll only get worse in all likelihood. Already a bit two paced with some variable bounce. Can only see that getting worse.

 

[Maximas]

4.5 RPO though. He clearly struggles keeping the runs down looking at his career so far.

They were all late order wickets after SA had already built a good lead as well, he is tonkable, but at least he is taking wickets.

 

[stephen]

out.

Is Richard back yet?

 

[91Jmay]

I'd review that.

 

[Spikey]

cant believe the ump didnt give that

That's leg spin for you. The amount of skill it takes to just keep things tight explains why there are much fewer leg spinners around than offies.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Looked out to me on first viewing.

 

[Prince EWS]

FMD that turned a long way. It's Day 1.

 

[Spikey]

that is stunningly lucky

 

[benchmark00]

Meh that's out.

 

[Expressway76]

Wow, in by a gnats chuff.

 

[Maximas]

Lol, leg stump getting destroyed there

 

[Cabinet96]

It's just gotta be so perfect to overturn an LBW if you're an off spinner bowling over the wicket.

 

[Pothas]

Really thought that was going to be gone.

 

[stephen]

Honestly, how the hell is that an umpires call? More than half the ball WAS hitting the stump. Terrrible decision for the second time today.
