3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

[safcpelaw]

I hope Root and Bayliss make a public apology tonight.

Roots problem is he is batting at three should be four. Then he’s coming in early as fuck because Roy thinks there’s a power play in test cricket.

Is root a good enough captain though no.

Australia's day today so far

What do we reckon then? We're all saying it, everyone knew it already, the interviews with the players last night and this morning all said it: Loose shots at Headlingley will kill you.

But they've gone out this morning and batted like clubbies. Lack of prep? A bad plan? Braindead?

Poor planning and coaching. Everyone can see where the problems lie with England's top order but not one of them have improved lately.

67 all out, spineless bells

 

[Mainze]

67.

Brilliant effort lads.

The money in 20-20 is killing the test game.

Test cricket was struggling a long time before t20 came along.

 

[Snappy]

Well that's the easiest £20 I've made today.

Ignore Warner's innings as it was a complete fluke. The only player who managed to look like a batsmen on this pitch was the new lad with a name I'm not going to try and spell.

Well we can all concentrate on the football now anyway

All of these players have been on the county circuit, they all know about the ground. Broad and Jof in their interviews both saying you put the ball in places and if the batsman are loose you'll get them.

So they know.

But then that.

Tidied

 

[cooky]

Most embarrassing innings in my lifetime watching England. It's not even like its that bad of a pitch.

 

[daveydavey]

Bet £20 on Australia less than 200 yesterday, put the profit on England 300+ today.

 

[The Snowman]

those with day 4 tickets must be sick as fuck

Are they being encouraged to play in this way? It's a possibility. They can't all be that braindead surely? - Stokes and Buttler have managed to play restrained innings before.

I am so pissed off I am going to actually do some work!
