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

[FreoGirl]

Surely England is more in the box seat

I think it's waiting to see what Marsh does

 

[Peter Bixley]

10am tomorrow:

Leeds - BBC Weather

According to that report, after today we only have two more sessions in the whole game.

 

[ams4crows]

Almost I'm disbelief that Mitch marsh is potentially the guy who's gonna win us the Ashes.... Like the ring in is the one playing out of skin for his country.

Meanwhile others just going through the motions looking forward to their next net session

 

[JackOutback]

Did the commentators seriously describe Mitch’s first innings as ‘a little like Ben Stokes’ innings’? If by a little, you mean a lot better.

 

[FreoGirl]

I want one of those little cottages in Leeds

 

[Malifice]

But we need to move the scoreboard too at some point.

There is likely only 2 days of play left with the weather a factor, and we only need a draw.

England want the result.

Weird.
Warner can actually play like this. But chooses to be technical

 

[10Dulkar]

Yep. A truncated version due to the World Cup held in France through September and October.

Union isn't quite as good now since the halcyon days of the Super 12 and Tri Nations although the 6N are arguably better than ever.

 

[Santana]

We are back on top if these two are still batting at stumps

WRONG. He didn't limp around, fall over or grimace. Not "heroic" enough. Should've bit his lip and started spitting blood.

Yep. Big storm tomorrow likely rules out most of the days play, and Monday isnt looking great either.

We just need to bat time.

 

[Westend]

when is stumps ?

 

[freo_leo29]

Head has no placement, to a fielder everytime

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Head planning on not slapping one straight to cover?

Just cannot compliment Australia without adding on an English player.

Channel 9 allowing English commentary is horrendous

probs 25 mins

It's too late for that. The game is too advanced already. We are getting a result

 

[FreoGirl]

that's just slogging - Marsh was much better

Getting runs moves us to a safer position. We need time at the crease and a ticking scoreboard.

I really want a 250 lead. England are desperate to win and that will be a pressurised chase on a wearing pitch with little time left.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Warner hasn’t done it for years ever since his eye went so to speak

 

[ams4crows]

I'm hopeful that Head can play that anchor role for Marsh again

 

[HK_Hawk]

C'mon Head, into the gaps along the ground please.

 

[FreoRicci]

Head planning on not slapping one straight to cover?

Why?
Smith and Labs tried to do something like that. Instead straight to fielder

 

[largebus]

It's either gonna be 3 full sessions tomorrow or no play at all.

We don't have the cattle to stick around long enough now, they threw their wickets away (except Ussie)
