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

[Altum Volantes]

If Mark Wood and Ben Stokes had a baby, would it bring salvation to all of mankind?…

 

[Plugger35]

Tubby talking about Devon Malcolm, he was quick, he bowled all over the shop but that probably made him even scarier.

When even the bowler doesn't know where the ball is going the batsman has no chance of knowing where it's going.

 

[Gethelred]

Hayden and Symonds didn't always make runs. Entirely plausible Robinson would get both out. Hoggard got Hayden in England a few times.

The guys from the past weren't infallible

Not because they'd make runs, but because I really want someone to smash into him when he turns to go back to his mark after having bowled a ball. On one hand, he's turned his back; on the other, he's walking right in the batter's path, and if he's not doing it deliberately I'll go he.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Gonna need your reviews with these two umps

 

[DocklandsSaint]

The English lads have had their two pints and found their voices...hopefully a bit more creative today than the chanting at Lord's.

Thought it was high

Looked legside too. The angle just didn't look good at all.

 

[peternorth]

If Australia end up 7-8 down at end of the day, it'd be ok?

 

[Santana]

Can't miss out on too many of those balls, Labs

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We get through the next 36 minutes unscathed we retain the Ashes I reckon

C'mon boys

 

[kickazz]

Sixth stump maybe muppets

 

[Plugger35]

Not even close.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why appeal that?

 

[Santana]

If Australia end up 7-8 down at end of the day, it'd be ok?

100% yes

 

[Plugger35]

Why appeal that?

He hit the pads.

 

[Beejay Crow]

Gonna need your reviews with these two umps

Until you see who the third umpire is.

Wasn't big Dev legally blind...literally nobody knew where it was going

 

[The Casey Cat]

Really don't get how Lab is having such trouble with these straight ones. Haven't seamed or swung in anyway (and no where near Wood's pace) and straight missed and into his pads.

 

[troybe]

Is appealing for LBW on the 5th stump in the spirit of the game?

 

[010203]

The English lads have had their two pints and found their voices...hopefully a bit more creative today than the chanting at Lord's.

Old Jimmy isn't playing so we won't hear the very unimaginative song they have for him.

 

[k31th]

Smith lucky to get away with that inside edge

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Foakes wouldn’t have missed that

 

[Gethelred]

Why appeal that?

Because it's clearly in the spirit of cricket to appeal for a ball you don't think is out.

 

[kickazz]

We love you Jonny

 

[Foucault1989]

Jesus come on boys. Praise Jonny
