3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

[SkyBlue]

There is a lot of early movement. Should strike early before it becomes easy to bat with the older ball.

 

[Calm_profit]

Tough luck for Joshua Tongue.Woakes should have been dropped but then again he has a great record at Lords

 

[centurymaker]

What a terribly slow pitch. Such an anti-climax watching this test from Lord's. No pace.

 

[Calm_profit]

Pant is terrible keeper

 

[CricAddict]

Absolutely. I was really hoping eagerly for a proper bowling pitch but looks a dead pitch again.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

England batting first. Love to see it.

Maybe if we bat long enough Carse will even be fit to bowl.

Not been any pace at Lords for ages.

 

[Stefan9]

Pitch for the wtc was also very slow especially during the second innings. Markram and smith stood at second with helmets to get close enough and it was still not carrying most of the time.

 

[RightArmMystery]

****ing hell. Chill out Ben. Two shocking shots them

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Calm down Ducky

 

[Thala_0710]

We need to strike right now with this much movement, they don't which way the ball's going

 

[Calm_profit]

Crawley not looking comfortable

 

[RightArmMystery]

Tough luck for Joshua Tongue.Woakes should have been dropped but then again he has a great record at Lords

No he shouldn't. Woakes is a better bowler than Tongue. Tongue feasting on tail-enders doesn't change that, the numbers are deceiving, he's been largely awful in the series, and was equally poor against Zimbabwe. Deservedly dropped for Jof.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Knew we should have bowled first

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good to see Duckett taking on the Joe Root role here early at Lords.


He's got a lovely pair of hairy earrings after that delivery.

 

[Thala_0710]

How have we not got a wicket so far

 

[trundler]

Crawley looks village. Reckless batting

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Channelling Brett McKenzie's legendary diss track:

Zak Crawley ...is not very good.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Crawley looks worse than normal today. Normally looks pretty assured, plays some nice shots and then throws in a loose one to give it away. Today he's swinging like a rusty gate. Head looks completely scrambled.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Just bad, impatient Test match batting in that over by Crawley. Noone pays top money to watch this ****.
