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

[Gob]

Of we get to lunch without losing a wicket or at worst a couple of wickets we SHOULD make the runs, my fear is we try and get them in a short a time as possible and throw wickets away and put the rest of the team under unnecessary pressure

They can afford to lose 3

Im not sure being 3 down at lunch would do the nerves much good

I’d expect it done in two sessions one way or another

 

[Qlder]

Any chance we can ban Stokes taking multiple pain killers while batting?

I'm thinking him being drugged up and swinging away like nothing matters is a definite advantage

In a hotel in Richmond at the minute. Nice part of London. Not exactly right by Wembley, but there was **** all left because I was lazy booking it.

Gonna go have one of the horrible hotel instant coffees while I try and wake my daughter up. Remind her the later we’re in the car the longer she has to listen to TMS

Going to be a stressful drive

Thoughts and prayers with your daughter. How was the gig?

 

[nick-o]

TMS
So you are in england, now BBC bloked TMC for Asian Countries

try guerilla cricket instead; much more fun

They were amazing. Damon such a good and engaging frontman

ingerlish music, as opposed to that terribly posh english music such as oasis (iykyk)

 

[Woodster]

I get the sense today is not going to be straightforward for either side!! Expect us to lose a few wickets early on putting a win in serious doubt before some middle order rescue act (not Stokes this time) and then hopefully edging over the line with the tail, or not as the case may be.

Ashes on the line for us, we can’t stuff this up, the approach and execution has to be spot on, please don’t make this a nail biter again!

My wife tried to get tickets for tonight at the last minute through the NHS workers scheme. Unsuccessfully, unfortunately. I think Weller's playing tonight too. Did he play last night?

Who is that in your Avatar/Profile photo. cant tell its blurry

 

[halba]

If Australia win change my username to something which is funny & pro-Australian

It’s going to be 2-1

yep. this pitch was par 360 and aussie batters threw their wickets away

 

[Burgey]

Damon such a good and engaging frontman

Do they really need him?

 

[Qlder]

With all Halba's negativity I think he should change his Avatar to Bairstow after Aus win today

Yeah. **** stokes. let a real englishman be the hero with the bat, like Bairstow. Someone who looks like a biscuit.

Joking aside.”

With the ashes series has it’s been, this won’t be plain sailing for England. Australia have a big problem with batting but someone gets runs for all the time. I think other than Root & Stokes someone has to step up for England.

Did he take 500 words to say something which can be conveyed in 15, like he usually does?
