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

[Son Of Coco]

That's a good catch.

We've only paid 60 runs for those two wickets.

Well worth it...

finally...

Cummins bowling at the stumps against Stokes after just bombing tailenders is pretty meme.

Great, great catch with dopey Marnus trying to put him off

 

[social]

Wicket but still **** bowling as that’s Broad’s hitting zone

 

[Burgey]

Good grab that

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lol was that the one which ricocheted off someone in close and went away for the runs?

No it just missed the stumps and no one was backing up because they were appealing for the lbw lol

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

There was that one time Australia needed 1 wicket to win and Ojha was plumb lbw but but bowden didn't give it and Ojha wandered out of his crease like a moron and Steve Smith picked up the ball and threw it at the stumps get him run out but it went for 4 overthrows.

Cool story... but how is that a dot ball lol. Although I did get flashbacks of an angry VVS Laxman so that was indeed eventful

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Thats emphatically Mo's last test match.

Whos pathetic idea was to bring him back from 'retirement' ??
Whos idea was it to continually play Bairstow a w/k?

Tail might wag for 50-60 runs cos of injured stokes thats about it.

I have a feeling it was his own. You know what Mo’s like. I want to play. No, I’ve changed my mind. Er, I really don’t want to retire yet, I’d like to play……. Why on earth do the selectors pander to his wishes? Give him an ultimatum. Play for England when you’re (lucky to be) selected. Otherwise go to the IPL or wherever. Or retire. As for Bairstow as keeper. Don’t get me started.
England 9 down….

Hey but the short ball gets the wicket! What's 50 ****ing runs in 5 overs between friends

 

[Socerer 01]

if it was anyone other than Smith Marnus would have not been intimidated and messed up the other dude

 

[trundler]

That was incredibly fun

 

[CartyDurham]

England losing. Stokes going well so let’s throw away another wicket to a ball about a yard above the stumps

it’s pathetic yet again

 

[Uppercut]

Hey but the short ball gets the wicket! What's 50 ****ing runs in 5 overs between friends

I'm sure you can forgive bowling them to Broad.

 

[Spark]

I'm sure you can forgive bowling them to Broad.

Oh yeah just pointing out the bad post facto justifications that will come out re: these tactics

 

[OverratedSanity]

Cool story... but how is that a dot ball lol

Should've been. Close enough.

 

[Burgey]

No it just missed the stumps and no one was backing up because they were appealing for the lbw lol

This is one of those moments where I can remember it and think it’s funny but can’t picture it for some reason. I think I just got it confused with the time one of Clarke and Watto shied at the stumps from about three metres away and threw it straight into the other, with predictable reaction

 

[CartyDurham]

I'm sure you can forgive bowling them to Broad.

Agreed as it’s bloody obvious he would sky one on order

though he joins the alledged top order in gift wrapping wickets

 

[morgieb]

I'm sure you can forgive bowling them to Broad.

Yeah with Broad it still mostly worked. It was the Wood thing and Starc bowling them to Stokes that hurt. At least Cummins tried to bowl normally to Stokes.

That catch reminded me of when I was in a similar position fielding on the boundary and absolutely poleaxed the other fielder causing him to drop what would otherwise have been a clean catch. Other fielder also happened to be my brother.
