3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[hazsa19]

Root can add ‘breaking Jofra Archer after 3 innings’ to his illustrious England captain CV.

 

[Compton]

Surprised Root hasn’t given himself a bowl yet.

 

[ajdude]

jesus christ this has been a siddle-esque spell from stokes

except for, you know, the bowling

 

[trundler]

Wow damn I went out expecting a lollapse at some point but these 2 are really holding it together. Have to appreciate 2 blokes gutsing it out in bowler friendly conditions.

 

[trundler]

This is a historic **** you to #intent.

 

[Compton]

Keeper should snag those 9/10 at this level, IMO.

Kumar is gonna give a lecture on how to keep wickets after the day's play

No idea if this is true or a joke, but Kumar’s masterclasses are always pretty good.

 

[hazsa19]

We just don’t do bad days, this is an all time horrific day, and we’ve had several of them already this year.

 

[Spark]

Hell of an effort from Stokes.

jesus christ paine is so ****

 

[91Jmay]

No matter the situation you can rely on Tim Paine being literal dog****. Did he actually review that for bat and not notice Root caught it? ahahahahahahaha

 

[Spark]

Why on earth would you be shaking your head there? It's not like it was a sneaky catch

 

[Compton]

Hang on, are Paine’s horrendous cricketing performances down to his not knowing the rules?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Where does he fall in the totempole of Australian captains?

this post has absolutely nothing to do with that decision or anything at all so this is really unrelated to anything, but i feel like hotspot's been pushed aside too quickly as an additional tool. i mean you're not going to get false positives from it (except for bats brushing pads or similar which can then be decided on with snicko anyway), and i know it's definitely possible for false negatives but idk it'd be handy sometimes i reckon. and yes snicko pretty much tells us all the same answers as hotspot does but hotspot looks cool too

anyway one post closer to 10k

 

[Pothas]

So the Australian number 4 has reached 50 in every innings this series.

Hotstpot provides a great view of a batsman who's been out there all day on a stinker and they're literally white hot

 

[trundler]

I find myself rooting for Stokes the all rounder before I remember that comes with Stokes the dickhead.

also ben stokes' crop circle would be glowing right now
