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

[Peter Bixley]

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

I'd agree with that. Coming back tomorrow with a lead of 150 and our two best players in this match at the crease would give us the edge. Wood could mop up the tail though.

is that rule 696969 where you shouldn't touch the ball?

 

[freo_leo29]

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

He doesn't mean put it in the air, just not to the fielder

Place it hit it to the side

 

[FreoRicci]

Holy shit.
That happens every match! Now they want to harp on?

 

[Plugger35]

I wonder if Swampy and Shaun are watching this in Bali, they would have to be on a 24 hour bender there.

 

[Santana]

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

Not like our tail will hang around for long too

This draw talk is crazy imo

I find Eoin Morgan hard to take seriously on commentary. He's a guy who claimed the IPL was better preparation for Test cricket then FC cricket.

Feels more like Sky just wanting to push thr Bazball mindset from every corner, backed up by Kumar's whinging about Australian strike rates.

Yeah I know. Head is hesitant to slap or open up the face.

Draw only happens if 3 days are washed out now, small chance if 2 days are washed, can't see it happening

 

[JackOutback]

Don’t touch the ball, Mitch, for the love of god.

I like how it's a girl posting the innuendo in this thread a welcome change. Just letting us all know what's on your mind?

1% of Ali's wickets were today

They did win us a game only two Tests ago.

Are you an actuary?

He's just a little mercenary grub

Love actuary.

I think it's the Wood factor that's the difference this time.

 

[Magma]

trav you dont have to hit it to stokes every ball mate

 

[Moonwatcher]

Actually , no, but I do increase doggies_ftw's chance of a fatal brain aneurism by 500 morts.

I'm feeling like Steve Smith with this lack of sleep

He has about as much credibility talking about test cricket as Finch, both are great ODI batsmen and captains but they aren't test cricketers arseholes.

Marsh <3

Nicely played Marsh

 

[FreoGirl]

imagine if Marsh used his full force behind a ball
