2019 4th Ashes Test 2019 Old Trafford

[Numero Uno]

Cmon !!

 

[k31th]

with the way the ball is moving a bit now, surely they won't take the new ball at the 80 over mark?

 

[Moonwatcher]

the walking wicket lasted 33 balls, somehow

It's called resilience and application.

Roy digs in for a well made 22, helping his team to trail by 301

Will have done enough to keep his spot for sure.

 

[Kram]

Tell your story walking pal, and take your middle stump with you!

 

[k31th]

It's called resilience and application.

Indeed. He did look a lot more circumspect to start with, but was probably just lucky he wasn't facing a moving new ball haha

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Lol Roy is too easy, he was still appreciating that last boundary and thought he’d casually whack Hazlewood for another.

 

[Plugger35]

Roy is a shocker.

You can't be castled like that as a top order test batsman.

 

[kozi]

Whatever Hazlewood had at tea, he needs to have that every day.

 

[FreoRicci]

That’s a ripper. Middle stump. That’s a bit of reverse there.

 

[FreoRicci]

Crucial next 5. Lower the run rate and think about squeezing them.
The follow on is there. Be interesting to see how England hold on.

I think he had a "**** me, Cummins' spell before mine was inspiring, so I'll see if I can do the same or better" and he sure did better, in terms of the wickets

 

[Mateyman]

Thought on Lyon's series overall? Been pretty underwhelmed since the first Test personally.

I think he's been very unlucky

No chance we take the follow-on. The bowlers will need a rest.

 

[Richard Pryor]

With Ganguly calling for Rohit to open for Tests we could have all the big 3 fall for the "ODI opener as Test opener" scam.

Very generous of the England selectors to give Roy a shot playing in position, but surely he's shown he's not Test standard once and for all now.

 

[FreoRicci]

I think he's been very unlucky

Extremely. A few edges, missed hits here and there. He’s been putting a fair bit of pressure on for no reward at all.

 

[k31th]

getting a bit dark out there at the moment... shadows getting quite noticeable from the light towers.

 

[Coasters7]

Need Starc on for a couple while they can’t see it. Try to break some toes

 

[SSwans2011]

With Ganguly calling for Rohit to open for Tests we could have all the big 3 fall for the "ODI opener as Test opener" scam.

We pioneered it too. What a proud moment for Australia.

 

[Richard Pryor]

I think he's been very unlucky

Yep, has had a few chances dropped, and had to bowl on a day 3 pitch for his fourth innings in the last Test.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Spin only due to bad light.

 

[k31th]

ahh, light is bad... bowling spin is now the only option.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Spin only due to bad light.

Stage is set for a Smith 5-for.

On cue. Checking for light. Surprise England are batting so they get benefit of the doubt huh
