*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[Pothas]

Oh god. Turned on a couple of minutes late to see Stokes batting. Horrible..

 

[RightArmMystery]

One more wkt and they're into the tail

Nah, best batter is in at 8.

 

[Burgey]

This is dodgy AF right now for England. Really would like a third man though

 

[trundler]

Cummins has dismissed him 10 times now

Must be an equal split between lbws on the front pad and catches in the cordon

Same here on a team meeting didn't spot the time.

Are we even surprised at this point as I'm not.

Who is the guy commentating with Nasser on Channel 9? Is that Pommie Mbangwa?

It’s the anti @Himannv isnt it?

Sangakkara

Pommie is doing the World Cup qualifiers back in Zim, where they've got Russell Arnold as the SL commentator.

Cool. Smart guy

 

[CartyDurham]

Scaly Piscine was a poster on here. I recommended he join the SMB.

He got banned on the SMB cos he was a bit extreme outside of his cricketing views.

I remember him clearly and though he was banned he had multiple sign ins

 

[Uppercut]

Does Boland even have a bouncer? Speedgun says he's in the high 80s but Australia brought the keeper up to him last test and England are happy to treat him as a medium pacer.

 

[chris.hinton]

Stokes & Bairstow with a 200 run partnership

 

[CartyDurham]

Not a good start

time to dig in for a bit please

 

[Calm_profit]

Despite having good record at Ashes,Cummins has only one 5 fer

 

[vicleggie]

Despite having good record at Ashes,Cummins has only 5 fer

he has only taken 5 fers?
good record indeed

 

[Calm_profit]

he has only taken 5 fers?
good record indeed

I mean only 1 5 fer

 

[Burgey]

Still doing a lot off the seam isn’t it

Boland to Bairstow a good match up for Aus imo

Gets stuck on the crease

Same thing happening to Bairstow atm

 

[chris.hinton]

Bairstow face is still upset that Australia followed the rules with his dismissal

 

[_Ed_]

Still doing a lot off the seam isn’t it

Yeah, I feel like Boland will be disappointed if he's wicketless in this spell.

As he seemed in the FTECB mode as a Durham fan thought he'd fit in on the SMB. Didn't realise he was massive racist
