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

[Sarcoidevo]

We had our chances and some of our batsmen need to get their heads checked for a brain

Bring on Old Trafford

 

[Peter Bixley]

Neser has been released from the squad back to play county cricket. He’s not going to play

It might be a "get some miles in your legs" kind of message.

It’s an interesting choice they’ve got, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him dropped for Green.

I would drop him for Green.

In Green and Hazlewood
Out Murphy and Boland

 

[Snarls Barkley]

MM a bit stiff I think.

Potentially.

After Smith got it over Stokes in last game it’s pretty clear the player of the match this series is going to be the best player on the winning team

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

2011 Ashes was probably the most disappointing in my lifetime, at least in this series we haven't been blown away in our loss, just slight disappointment.

That was a very strong England side at their peak while we were rebuilding and had Hilfenhaus and a wayward Johnson learning his craft along with Siddle as the spearhead.

Cameos from Hauritz and Bollinger I mean what did you expect.

 

[Bungeye]

This loss may be good for the series, however be careful what you wish for.

$5.20 England series win

get on

Xmas has come early

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Boxing Day 2010 surely one of the greatest days in Ashes history? Up there with Day 1, Edgbaston 2005.

Collingwood supporter and a Pom eh? Dentists must have a field day.

For England I’d imagine Anderson will come in for Robinson. I’d like to see Foakes come in, bat him at 3 and keep. Whether he replaces Bairstow or a bowler would depend on the conditions. But no3 is offering us nothing so far so can’t do any worse and allows the others to bat in their preferred spots.

Hopefully the long break allows Wood to back up.

You are speechless

Quite right, damicky. I'll take some time to process what has just transpired before posting my thoughts on the anonymous online text-based football discussion forum bigfooty.com.

 

[Plugger35]

Mark Wood MOTM what a legend.

Just a no fuss cricketer from Newcastle.

He will be playing in the next test surely.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

I've got you covered, friend.

[Sam The Doc]

Cummins seems to be backing Warner..
Maybe green in for Murphy then?

 

[to1994]

Neser has been released from the squad back to play county cricket. He’s not going to play

He's re-joining the squad before the 4th Test, they're giving him match practice which may mean he's a good chance of playing.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Just for a laugh - Let’s win the toss next test

 

[Neese]

Neser has been released from the squad back to play county cricket. He’s not going to play

I think that's just for one match

 

[Soups]

Watched the end of the game in a pub in Lisbon with about 50 english twats has made it a pretty fun day copped it something shocking

 

[Santana]

Neser has been released from the squad back to play county cricket. He’s not going to play

If anything that makes me feel he is more likely to play a part of this series.

Could be a thread in this.

Edgbaston 2005, bowl first on a flat pitch?

 

[ptrg]

It didn't cost us the match (probably), but you simply cannot have that 3rd umpire wide call being accepted.

3rd umpire has no ability to call a wide call after the fact. It has NEVER happened in test match cricket.

So for it to be called in that circumstance is highly concerning. It sets a massive precedence - can a batsman demand a review? Do they "review every ball" afl goal style? Can a DRS be used (as crazy as that sounds, they would have used one there since it wasn't called a wide on field).

Mcdonald should be going ape shit about it post game

 

[BlueBayou]

Well played Poms

The significant difference in this Test was the tin arsed luck on them bowling when it suited bolwing, and batting under clear skies.

..and their tin arsed Captain

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Bancroft should been in the squad for Warner

 

[compact72]

Thanks, Tubby - At least we kept Warner for the field. Worked out well hahahahaha
