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

[White Ball]

Great start for Straya

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Off to the optician’s. All out when I get back??

 

[halba]

This pitch is harder to do a 'Stokes' as it has pace and bounce, and swing.

 

[GotSpin]

England are pathetic

 

[Burgey]

India tour where he was coming back from injury and the WTC final aside, Starc has actually been low key pretty ****ing good in tests for about 18 months. Hasn’t been as floaty as he is when at his worst

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Can we get Milhouse in to bowl to Moen

Milhouse?

Not for nothing on 2nd day for Murphy

Seam so far so good

 

[CartyDurham]

Off to the optician’s. All out when I get back??

There will be a stream posted for your t20 later on the blast thread

Exciting plans today

Joe Root and Johnny Bairstow looked in no trouble last night and it believed that both players will get big scores. England Plan to be 150 runs ahead by the last hour, Ben Stokes will declare and rest wood and unleash Chris Woakes & Stuart Broad for the remainder of the session and they will get 2 wickets leaving the Aussies around 70-3. Wood will open on Saturday and unleash 95-97 mph bowling the Aussies will struggle but someone will get some runs but they will be just 80-120 runs ahead. England will rap it up on Sunday Morning

2-1 and England are the better team

Oh dear think I would stop posting

And Robocop(Murphy) hasnt bowled yet.

RoboCop centers on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is murdered by a gang of criminals and subsequently revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as the cyborg law enforcer RoboCop.

 

[Qlder]

Catches in Ashes

Ian Chappell 54
S. Smith 51*
G. Chappell 56

Think you mean Ian Botham with 54, close friends though I hear. Plus Greg Chappell has 51 not 56.

Seen it

 

[Croadymeister]

FFS. Least we've avoided the follow on.

Least we have got past 67 unlike 2019

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Anyone apart from Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have any faith in Moeen Ali here? I sure as hell don't.

I think you're right to leave Mo off the list of people with faith in Mo here.

 

[NZTailender]

I've got this friend, Jonny Jo Jo Bairstow Shabadoo

That's the worst shot I've ever seen

 

[TheJediBrah]

England: "we want wickets that give more help to the bowlers"
Also England: "no, not like that"

Otherwise a good post though tbf

Yeah I don't think even Mo's mum has faith in him here either

 

[chris.hinton]

Remember folks. Wood will bowl 96-97mph in the 2nd innings

Australia's batsman will be flapping with worry

 

[91Jmay]

Reckon Murphy on when Starc finishes, Moeen will try and bash him.

 

[Preed]

Time for a rethink on this team.Bairstow has lost the plot and is such a poor keeper.Brook must never bat 3 again and I find whoever thought he was is mis guided to say the least.I liked Robinson but he now is a medium trundled.Come on Key get involved and stop the old boy network ruling
