3rd Ashes Test England v Australia July 6-10 1930hrs @ Headingley

[A Pom]

Is Headingley a small ground or is Stokes actually hitting them a long way? Feels like some of these would be getting caught a fair way before the rope at the MCG

They've all pretty comfortably been 70m+

 

[Foucault1989]

Yep. And see where this short s**t has got us.

Cry harder seriously. You people only pop up to post negative rubbish. It doesn't always go our way.

 

[Kuuz]

Pretty sure England will have a lead at the end of this onslaught.

Ruined a good half day of work with mind-numbing tactics and sloppy fielding.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

About 30 dropped chances on his way there too

Quite possibly

 

[danstar]

No lead. So pathetic we should have been 150 in front

 

[Bedi]

Yep. Watch us get skittled for like 120.

This s**t is always demoralising and momentum killing for a team.

and then they'll win the next two tests

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We will be behind in this match purely because we have zero answers of how to Bowl to Stokes

I mean just put it on the stumps and set a decent field he can't make runs.

 

[Cataholic]

They have swung the bat and gotten lucky. Honestly mate this is how cricket plays out sometimes. It's been like this all series

When everyone knows that virtually every ball is going to be a long hop it's not particularly hard for the batsmen to swing through the ball and flog it to the boundary ad nauseum, as they've done.

Even Robinson is doing it.

And it’s complete bullshit.

Umpires call must be removed from the equation, if it’s out it’s out.

Where in the cricket laws does it say the umpire must consider that at least 51% of the ball needs to make contact with the pad in line with the wickets?

Ridiculous "rule"

 

[Kappa]

100% Ben Stokes rolls around in his hotel room pretending to be injured and imagining how heroic everyone will think he is

 

[Santana]

The bowling to the tail has not worked all series and we persist with it... Mind blowing stuff

It's more the bowling to Stokes when he's swinging then the bowling to the tail

 

[Blue1980]

No lead. So pathetic we should have been 150 in front

I think at least 300 lead really.

 

[Headless]

He scurred

Then your nickname probably needs a bit of work.

 

[Anzacpaul]

We’ll still win.

I doubt it.

England will be chasing less than 250 with 2 1/2 days to play.

 

[FreoRicci]

Stokes living rent free in Australia’s heads

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Cry harder seriously. You people only pop up to post negative rubbish. It doesn't always go our way.

Everyone knew the moment we started going the short stuff this was going to happen.

 

[Hamez]

So England only have 4 fit bowlers for our second innings - Broad, Wood, Woakes, Ali (&Root). Wood’s essentially only able to bowl 4-5 over spells.

Headingley used to be a decent sized ground.

 

[The King!]

nice ball

You're posting is equally negative bullshit.

 

[candyapple]

Finally bowls one on the stumps

 

[FRUMPY]

5/85.
Lead is gone

We were 4 for 85

[Moonwatcher]

Well we can't win anymore but with weather we can make sure the Poms don't win

We can win if we make more runs than England.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Hope it's a draw

 

[Around the Wicket]

And it’s complete bullshit.

You can't give someone out that far down the pitch lol
