3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

Yeah Australian fans really don't need to start worrying till they get within 80 or so with these two still there and even then chances are it will go **** up in a matter of a couple of overs.

A false shot going to hand would be nice.

even match, england will take this (even though I don't want them to)

Still have Buttler and Woakes to come though, it's not really a case of 5 out all out.

 

[fredfertang]

That is ridiculous

 

[Son Of Coco]

This is ****ing horrible stuff with the new ball.

RE: pessissism, I'm just really worried about how we've lost out patience somewhat and it feels as flat as it's ever been. At least yesterday we were bowling outstandingly without luck, now we're basically bowling horribly. Like the pressure's gotten to us.

Morgie bringing some absurd pessimism to the table here

I've posted 60,000 times with mindless optimism and still make us a 1 in 4 chance at best

You Poms are such pessimists, back your players , they aren't that bad even though they bribed the umpires in teh world cup

Yeah true. Maybe this situation could even suit someone like Buttler with his ODI chase experience. This is fun, hopefully it goes down to the wire.

aus bowlers have lost the plot and lost the ashes forever.
with anderson coming into test no.4, i cant see australians winning the ashes.

This has been really, really crap since the new ball was taken.

 

[old_kookaburra]

This is also a really, really crap post.

What is going on guys

This is their version of that Woakes/ Stokes spell on day 1.

Yeah, very similar. Both sides of the wicket and no consistency in length

 

[morgieb]

This is also a really, really crap post.

I think if we do manage to lose this, I can really see it hurting Australia's confidence.

Why is Hazlewood still on FFS? At least Cummins wasn't getting smashed.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I thought the only way we could lose this was to waste the new ball, and we're well on the way to doing that now. Nearly nothing in areas that can cause any problems.

 

[old_kookaburra]

chuck wade and Labuschagne the ball for 4 overs

 

[GIMH]

My last post notwithstanding I am starting to get excited

I have to go out shortly but will be wandering round watching via mobile. If we still have proper bats in come lunch then the afternoon session will be one of the great sessions of Test Cricket, one way or another
