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

[Neese]

That shut up the western stand. love it

 

[Peter Bixley]

I'm going through the "if we can just get 200"...."if we can just get 220"......"if we can just get 250" phase.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

That is ridiculous from Travis Head! Very well played.

 

[dumb]

at least england isn't bowling everything in their half. field spread, trav has to make a mistake ala stokes. they're pooing their pants because they know it could go on for some time.

 

[Nel_cats]

great batting by heady

 

[ptrg]

Every single mother's meeting has failed for them so far

 

[moogerfooger]

Thank Christ, Kumar is gone

Butch is not afraid of being critical of England. He'd have been a worthy successor to Willis on The Verdict.

Trescothick, James Taylor and Farbrace on the other hand...ECB apologists. Used to infuriate my best mate and I.

I miss Bob Willis. Fantastic TV personality, much missed.

 

[FreoRicci]

Nice, Travis. Selective shot making with good strike rotating.

 

[Purple Suit]

A bowlers convention. Wtf is this? How long between each ball.

England keen on bottom of the test championship with negative points

You can understand in a way?

Most of these guys probably rely on a wage/living through the ECB and their affiliates post-retirement.

Get to 250 in front. After that it is a bonus given where we were.

 

[Topkent]

Clearly trying to avoid batting tonight with all this bullshit time wasting. Poms as soft as ever

 

[Magma]

is slowing the game to a crawl with everyone on the ropes bazball

 

[smasha]

Head brilliant.

Same. I thought there was little chance we were even going to make a 200 lead there

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Plucky knock from Head

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

This is great stuff from Trav and Murph. Stokes crumbling under the pressure has no idea what to to do.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Give me more of this Headball!

 

[FreoRicci]

What a great shot from Head. Another 4.

 

[freo_leo29]

Keep picking the gaps

Though I want Head to feel he's only half way done. Not to get loose.

 

[Mr Meow]

England and Stokes exact same tactics as Cummins in these situations. If anything, even more defensive.

 

[Whiskers]

Head has done well but l would like to see some more chanceless shots. This heart in mouth stuff is too much.
Plus I think Murphy can bat, trust the kid a bit.

Yeah Mark Butcher is a good commentator, far worse English commentators than him, like KP for example.
