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

[Art Vandelay_]

But if the price paid is more per wicket you take than you scored, you lose.

You don’t do it for every player.

Chumps get out meekly, power hitters like Stokes you need to buy their wicket, as Murphy did.

With Stokes and Boland from the other end he’d still be batting

A bowler down, we should be able to post 300 plus which will get it done.

Predict Warners score ... i m predicting 15-25 caught in 2nd slip bowler mostly Broad

 

[The King!]

England still have to shut Marsh down

 

[Foucault1989]

No stupid, the team is getting results, not Cummins' abysmal captaincy.

All the players seem to be pretty happy with his captaincy.....

 

[DYLANROO18]

Lost the toss, got sent into bat and have come out with a first innings lead and a wounded English bowling cartel. I'd say advantage Australia.

FFS why do they keep bowling Harry Potter

Um……. Because he’s a Wizard

Surely the clouds are rolling in as we speak and humidity is about to hit 120%.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Why do so many stupid people defend Cummins captaincy?

What about Ronald McDonald? What is his input?
Minimal it seems

 

[The King!]

Predict Warners score ... i m predicting 15-25 caught in 2nd slip mostly by Broad

Im going to be nutty and say Warner gets 100 here and shocks the world

 

[Snarls Barkley]

In the top 10 off career catches now too

 

[new breed]

This is Bazball like a virus on your phone.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Camerawork clearly designed to piss Big Footy followers off!!

Might be able to see all those catches later in the highlights.

Much better chance we'll get to see them when some of the spectators post their Iphone clips on Youtube later.

A narrow lead but England with the momentum.

Need a decent opening stand to take the wind out of their sails

Good one

 

[Peter Bixley]

I think Murphy did well. It isn't easy for him in this situation but he held his nerve. I was very worried we wouldn't get a lead when all out for 263. Overall, we have to be happy with having been put in again having lost the toss. Batting will only get harder. Today is the only good day for batting and the conditions belong to us for the rest of the day. This pitch will take turn eventually. The flies in the ointment are Wood's searing pace and Stokes/Root in the second innings but I'm sure we'll fare better second time around.

One thing that annoyed me was Kumar not giving Stokes lbw to Boland. It looked stonewall for me and I don't see how you can have umpire's call for whether it pitched in line or not. Where it pitched is an actual event, whether it hits the stumps or not is a prediction and therefore umpire's call seems fair for that part of the equation only.

 

[Santana]

* it, lets play some bazball

No, make them bowl lots of overs

 

[kickthething]

Cameramen are not operating within the spirit of the game

 

[Monocle]

Well how to piss a 100 run lead away.

Fantastic first secession then negated with a crapola second secession.

That was just plain dumb cricket tactics.

 

[1990crow]

Ferguson saying Stokes has us figured out.
Is he a nuffie too?

 

[danstar]

Captain woke can **** right off

 

[Conception]

All the players seem to be pretty happy with his captaincy.....

Haha, this muppet thinks playing liking a guy means they're a good captain.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Surely the clouds are rolling in as we speak and humidity is about to hit 120%.

Sunny forecast for the rest of the day.

 

[The Passenger]

Getting a lead after being sent into bat in tough conditions is a good result.

Not our best bowling to the tail but that's cricket. Stokes is a very good player and England will be ****ed when he retires.

 

[MJG14]

Experiencing both extremes here. Knee jerk reactions and blind defenders.
