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

[Daemon]

3 pretty great all round performances this game from Wood, Woakes and Marsh.

 

[Burgey]

The people need to consider this when calling for Warner's dropping

Boland goes for Neser and Green for Warner

 

[CartyDurham]

Its one of my less awful opinions so I may as well milk it.

Not sure what the situation with Robinson is, can you have Tongue and Wood in the same team?

That could be a good shout if Robinson has gone injured

Such a weird series that the sides who have lost each game probably thought they should have won each game after the match finished.

Sign of an even game tbf but Australia can hardly complain after having such an opportunity on Day 2 with ball and bat and losing it not really due to brilliance but just poor undisciplined cricket

 

[Burgey]

Tubby, no one cares if you played tennis the other day and Brook’s sister was on the next court

Glad I stayed up for that (245am here in NZ), brilliant finish. Happy for Woakes and Wood coming back in, seem like good guys.

Who's opening? I'd do this too, if Cummins is hesitant about Murphy then we need the extra bowling option. Tail needs strengthening too.

Well done England. Congrats to all English fans. Been a great close series this, even though the quality has been pretty low a lot of the times.

Either side could have been 3-0 up now if a few marginal things went differently. Hopefully there is a decider at Oval.


My boi Crawley with a low key good series. If he can be more judicious outside off, he could make a big 100 soon.

pretty much the same as the first two tests the captaincy was the difference

Who are you and what have you done with the real Chris Hinton?

My longer posts are not pisstakes. Australia haven’t been at anywhere close to 80% and 2-1 up. We have it all to do but I think the rest now will benefit the Aussies

 

[halba]

bazball alive and well. 5+ RPO.

Green opens. Or Marnus and the rest move up, but I’d rather Green do it

 

[honestbharani]

Also Cummins again shows he is a bit vulnerable when batsmen just go after him. His captaincy was never really too good tactically and it showed again today.

 

[Ashes81]

3 games all gone down to the wire and 2-1 is probably about right.

Strange test match this one. The Aussies didn't have the rub of the green with the conditions but we let them off the hook with some poor catching.

There was always something in the pitch but most players got a start then found ways of getting out.

Selection issues for both sides going forward.

England may look back in it. But they haven't had their mandatory single session batting collapse yet. Australia haven't either but they can still afford one and England can't.

 

[Spark]

Green opens. Or Marnus and the rest move up, but I’d rather Green do it

Yeah and I'd invite him to play a little like Watto in 09. Circumspect, but if it's in your zone then ****ing hit it.

 

[CartyDurham]

Is winning the toss and bowling the way this series

I feel it is for England

 

[The_CricketUmpire]

England just got there and win the Test match. A tight finish in the end. They need to sort out their batting, these clumps of losing Quick wickets has been a trend in all 3 Test matches so far. Australia still in the box seat heading into the fourth Test.

Green opens. Or Marnus and the rest move up, but I’d rather Green do it

Is Warner really going to get the flick though?

Old Trafford in nine days

nine days without my posts

I’m sure the posts will continue. We can argue about them selection for O.T.

You ain’t wrong my lad , I’m dripping with sweat going through that

typing finger is being iced shortly

Too much information…
