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

[Niall]

You and I will discuss this post and the error of your ways within it at some length over dinner next week.

He was somewhat bullied into it Dhoni by Sachin and Dravid because they are gentleman.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

You can't make this stuff up. Of course it's sunny first session day 4

Damn that's rare

 

[ripper868]

In the spirit of the game, England should refuse to bat until there is overcast conditions, to make things fair and equal. it's the spirit, after all.

I don’t give a **** about that, I’m talking about him wanting England to win.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Are people not familiar with England batting collapses? Especially in the 4th innings.

This is far from over. Aussies are strong favourites.

yeah I was surprised to see the bookies odds flash up 3/1 in England's favour. I guess they only watch stats tables not the game itself.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

My take is that this is about as 50/50 a knife edge as we are going to get. The bigger question is how late I can stay up on a Sunday night / Monday morning NZ time to catch the end as well as the Silverstone GP which looks mega interesting with McLaren back in town.

They overlooked that part of the "spirit of cricket" preamble to the laws of the game (found in the limited edition Aussie version) that says above all else to "never give a mug an even break" (especially when the mug is also a pom). More fool him.

 

[vicleggie]

England should get these

Will be good for the series

Even gentlemen sometimes have to boss around their lessers.

 

[ataraxia]

Think this is an odds-on chase.

By rights it probably isn't, but given #bazball supreme confidence and Chokestraya ...

Starc to **** up and get tonked around for 6 an over, and England to win with 5 wickets in the shed.

If England win, David Warners career should be over.

If it's a sunny first session, we could lose the game inside that session. Par score was 350 range I feel

Eng bowling attack has been good this game, Anderson and tongue will return for 4th test

 

[Victor Ian]

haha. now chris broad is a legend to go with his son.

Incuding above win eng beat Aus at leeds 7 or 8 times

Many times Aus also won & 4 or 5 test were ended as Draw

Will Anderson even return for 4th test? Surely you can't drop Woakes- 6 wickets potentially match winning. Tongue is also bowling better and will replace the injured Robinson

No

 

[halba]

No

Anderson's test career could be over given the rise of Tongue, and the successful returns of Wood and Woakes
