3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

[Hot Since 82]

Lowest score since 1948, as well as Australia bowled thats some collapse from us, woeful.

 

[safcpelaw]

Australia's day today so far

Unless we get seven wickets off the first six balls then I would say it’s their test.

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

What a shower of cowardly shite. They should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[hudson88]

Utter embarrassment

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

Archer checks qualification rules for West Indies.

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

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

Commentary are saying Australia have been superb, but they haven't. They haven't needed to be.

 

[cooky]

those with day 4 tickets must be sick as fuck

Aye, thats me worst case scenario here is chasing 500 and going into day 4 on 30/3

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

I think a load of them need peddling.

Four times since 2018 now we've been bowled out for less than a 100.

Roy, Buttler, Denly, Bairstow - get rid of them. Send a message.

Root out as Captain too.

Sibley,
Burns
Hildreth (c)
Root,
Pope,
Stokes,
Foakes,
Archer,
Broad,
Leach,
Anderson.

The white ball piss-taking party is over.

They have bowled well, nothing more nothing less.

 

[TopCat]

If When we lose this Test then Root's position has become untenable. Too many batting collapses, his own form is gone and often looks lost in the field and allows the game to drift.

He's our best batsman and needs to be relieved of the captaincy to allow him to carry on in that vein

 

[The Snowman]

aussies could crumble to 100 all out and still be warm favourites

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

112 behind. It was a really large total though so at least we didnt embarrass ourselves.

 

[Snappy]

Joe 'little boys voice' Root what have you got to say now? There's no excuses left.

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

those with day 4 tickets must be sick as fuck

Why? They'll get a full refund.

 

[zebediah]

I think they already have enough runs to win!

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 think they play so much white ball cricket that they just can't not go after balls they should leave, as they are balls they are programmed to go after normally.

 

[TravellingMackem]

They should declare on 0 and send a message. Got enough already

 

[Jap Stammer]

they've gone out this morning and batted like clubbies.

Club players would have put up a better fight than that. Would've batted with a bit of pride and guts.

 

[TopCat]

They have bowled well, nothing more nothing less.

Correct. At least 5 of the wickets were chucked away, the rest were line and length balls. Only Root got a good ball

 

[The Breen Machine]

Totally agree, he's a poor captain and is looking a poor batsman at the moment. Not many credible alternatives but give Anderson 12 months and blood a vice-captain.

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

Frustrating that. Extra annoying for those that have spent a small fortune on tickets for any of the remaining days/tests.
