3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

[JohnSmithUK]

Feels like a wicket coming every ball here

I prefer it when we are bowling, hoping something will happen, rather that dreading something happening every ball.

Shocking really that both Australia and England's batting line ups are this bad (with a few exceptions).

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Well that aged well.

I did acknowledge that.

Driving at that is just braindead, has he not watched or listened to anyone? Absolutely garbage.

Looking forward to hearing Geoffrey's analysis

Everyones batting line ups are shocking.

Nobody seems to be able to adapt their game from white to red apart from Kohli.

 

[Steak Pie]

What was the crux of the analysis?

Nice ball but if he'd got forward he covers it.

And Smith until he gets one to the throat.

and to think we used to moan about Roots poor conversion rate once past 50. Even a half century from Root seems far away at the moment. Needs to go back to four.

Always remember my dad saying when I was growing up and learning the game "when you're bowling, only good things can happen. Whereas when you're batting, only bad things can happen"...

It is that same horrible feeling I get when we are defending corners

Even scoring four would help

 

[Boo]

What was the crux of the analysis?

That Root played neither forward not back.

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Has to be last chance saloon for Denly doesn't it?

 

[Boo]

This looks like another of Denly's looks-good-for-a-while efforts.

Needs a half century this game

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

And Smith until he gets one to the throat.

He's not a great white ball player tbf Smith. He bats a bit too test-like.

 

[Ashley In!!]

You could say that for a large part of the top 7 unfortunately.

 

[chelt_mackem]

I'd take that right now, if Burns can hang around at the other end while Denly gets 30 or so, it would just take the pressure off a bit. That's why he would be a better option opening.

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

This looks like another of Denly's looks-good-for-a-while efforts.

I'd take a pretty 35 from him tbf.

 

[TheRey]

That's a very soft dismissal

 

[Steak Pie]

f***ing hell.

What the hell are they doing?
