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

[Plugger35]

We need wickets early. If we don't get one in the first hour then it's over.

Yeah Australia needs to take wickets in the first hour while the ball is still new and the cloud cover is around.

If England get through that first hour unscathed with an older ball and the sun comes out they should stroll it in.

I don't expect it will be an easy run chase for England though, if this this series is anything to go by there will be some more twists and turns to come.

Australia deserve to lose this test thru our batting. Atrocious.

3 wickets needed in the first session.

If there is any justice, the day should be dark with leaden skies with the ball hooping around all over with the Cummo to remove the Crawler and the Rooter in the first 10 minutes , then Starc to knock over the Dwarf shortly after a dodgy umpire's call

We have been totally screwed by the weather Gods so they owe us big time

The weather gods have not been particularly kind this series but the overcast period in the first Test where we got both openers sort of turned that game.

Nothing would be sweeter than winning the Ashes today and the whole England media turning on their team

They’ve got that covered with a lovely polished oak honours board with moral victories listed in beautiful gold lettering to be hung at Lords.

Sun just popped out. Of ****ing course.

 

[Cold Sober]

This is the test we looked more likely to win. til now.

Has Neser turned into Malcom Marshall since last saw him bowl?

He's can at least hold up an end and is in fantastic form

 

[Headless]

Have an inkling that the crowd might be up and about.

In a word Marnus is OUT of form at the elite level. Has posted a single 50 in his last seven Tests, that was last match of the India tour. Since then he has scored 26, 41, 0,13, 47,30. Not be surprised if he has dropped down now to about five in the ICC rankings.

Exactly doesn't help Warner is a walking wicket

[Balls In]

[ScrappyCoCo]

Duckett is fair dinkum a Leprechaun.

 

[11kgm]

Starc at least has been taking wickets and provides pace

Boland needs to perform today

Hazelwood in the Frame for next test

Would like to see neser ...especially if its good overhead conditions

Starc also goes the journey if things don't go well

 

[k31th]

cracking inswinger from Starc... a few of those getting through would be welcome today
