3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[ajdude]

this is ****ing **** since we took the new ball

Has Gower ever brought any insight to the commentary box, apart from his silky voice and accent?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

This is very bad.

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

I’ve got people coming round for a bbq in a couple of hours. If we’re still batting they can get ****ed if they think I’m going outside.

Not leaving Lyon many runs to bowl to.

 

[Neptune]

The bowling has turned ****. We have to capitalise on this.

 

[Burgey]

Chill out people. They bowled four poor overs

 

[cnerd123]

this is not gonna happen but boy i sure hope it does

I remember when India chased 387 against England after the terror attacks, one of my favorite cricket watching moments.

420 would have been a better target , if only warner, Payne and Cummins got 20 -30 each, that extra 60 -90

More like eight. I don't think I'd give a single over before the new ball more than a 5/10.

350 cant be chased.

 

[Spark]

Yeesh, that pitch map

One of the few times I’ve not been sore with us blowing a test match.

buy a long aerial and take the tv into the backyard, standard aussie fallback

Yeah while the conditions looked tougher for bowling in our second innings, I think we threw away another 70-80 runs. 360 is still a tricky chase, but it's not insurmountable.

 

[Spark]

Over the wicket is vastly better to Stokes.

I SOOOO hope youre right

I hope not, but I suspect england will do this, full marks to Root, example knock inspiring ot the following batters

 

[morgieb]

I still don't get why we forgot to bowl six good balls in an area. Patto started really well this over but he's ruined with two pieces of ****.
