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

[kyear2]

Some of the shots he has played this morning are just wafts outside off stump.Embarrassing.

And on consecutive deliveries no less.

 

[SkyBlue]

Crawley is barely surviving

Its his day lads, Crawley century loading

 

[ankitj]

Bumrah breathing fire. England is lucky he hasn't picked a wicket

 

[Ju7]

Pitch looks like that famous or infamous banned Antigua pitch from the late 90s

Archer is going to injure a couple of Indian batsmen for sure

Nothing like that pitch

 

[chris.hinton]

Crawley is still there. India at this point have not been good enough to get him out

 

[Son Of Coco]

Wasnt Rabada suspended for something similar iirc? For shoulder barging Smith? Though Smith exaggerated the entire situation of course

No, his suspension was overturned on appeal.

 

[SkyBlue]

Nothing like that pitch

Yeah that was an exaggeration but my post was more in reference to the uneven bounce

 

[Ju7]

Don't think the Indian batters will be looking forward to facing Jof, don't think the others will hold quite the same fear factor mind you!

If Stokes gets his mojo he could be tricky on this pitch too.

 

[honestbharani]

Siraj was in your face + physical contact. Maybe not a proper (intentional) shoulder barge but that was a bit uncalled for though

You do realize Duckett was the one who made the contact and not Siraj?

 

[kyear2]

Actually left three straight deliveries outside off.

At this point he just needs to bat properly if he's capable.

Initially suspended. Over turned on appeal after involving a high profile lawyer.

Not that it matters, but that was Jamaica.

Just saw Crawley's 'hand injury' yesterday in the last over. It hit the middle of the bat halfway up.

Cheating *****.

Wasnt Antigua banned as well or was that some other series?

I genuinely don't remember Antigua being a problem, but maybe that's simply because England weren't involved.

It was never banned mate. We just sucked chasing 120 therre and got bowled out for 83 on a spiteful pitch.


Lara played two knocks of 40 odd in that test that I maintain is still the best batting I have ever seen in test cricket.

Siraj is only 5'8? Explains him being permanently mad at the world

Only same as Gill getting a massage and a happy ending so Rahul could open.

Antigua was the one were outfield wasn't fit for play on day one so they moved the pitch to another ground and delayed the test.

Oh dear, now I pity the ****
