2019 3rd Ashes Test 22-27 August Headingley

[HBF]

fu** I'm so nervous now. Just can see us ******* this but I hope we won't. Only need 200-250 and Ashes should be safe but easier said than done.

I was just thinking how much we would need to be safe. Anything over 300 will be tough to chase on this pitch I reckon

Well they said Smith was close to being able to play, if Archer hits Khawaja on the scone then whats stopping Smith stepping in

Just for the England whinge I’m all for it

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Chance of Khawaja failing again... 99%

Hes already on 6. That's a par score.

His first innings outscored the entire pommie lineup genius

You heard it here first ladies and gents. 61 > 67.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Solid start. Close to half way thru the spells of Broad and Archer.

 

[HBF]

The poms must be ropable. They made less than Labuschagne and he's from their African recruiting zone too.

Just about the post of the night

 

[rocker_oz33]

I am so handling the pressure

Get your hand off it .

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Imagine being Australian bout hating Australia and supporting West Indies.

I'd be mad too

And going for St Kilda too! What’s next the Cleveland Browns?

 

[imperial_oz]

The whole world's their recruiting zone.

Except for England......apparently

 

[Slow Love]

Surely you don’t celebrate a wicket like Roy did just then when you’ve been as useful as Anne Frank’s drum kit all series?

[Present Not Past]

All the Aussies have to do is bat for a day and a half and they have 2 days to bowl England out.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Lol woakes already.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Its amazing how Broad coming around the wicket can get it to straighten and hit the wicket compared to Lyon who spins the ball ....but drs reckons its going straight on with the arm

amazing system

Something is wrong, it's the same for both sides so it isn't bias, but IMO there is no way known that ball is hitting the stumps, terrible call from a professional umpire who should know better.

350 ideal but 250 is a winning score

2 days?
Pfft, would do it within 2 sessions.

Game will be over by tea on day 3

On this pitch batting a day certainly seems a lot harder said than done.

 

[Tazzaye]

Eh i hate this idea but should Warner drop down to #5 or #6?

 

[Richard Pryor]

Probably already discussed, but a little disappointed we dropped Bancroft before Warner. They've both been non-factors but I think Bancroft has done a little better, and since he's missed a year of Test cricket I don't think Warner does have the 'credits in the bank'. Would have preferred to have Bancroft and Harris opening than Warner & Harris.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Looks a lot easier today

Oh.

Sorry England

 

[Taylor]

What if the pitch settles down? Do they get less seamy?

 

[The King!]

Hes out already they would consider it cheating

If he gets 13 that’s more than England’s highest score!

 

[Milang_Panthers]

This partnership already bigger than any in England's innings..

 

[saint_]

Harris has already topped scored today with 13 runs.
