3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Fuck me, it's amazing how much more secure for 3 makes you than for 4.

We still have 7 wickets in tact suddenly becomes being almost down to our tail!

I think the security went when we lost the 3td tbh but take your point. Our batting line up is very poor, they won't be able to handle the new ball of the Aussies bowl like they have so far.

I’m a bit more mixed, but I’m not listening, I see the logic in negating the turn.

Fair point but that early to dance down. Not the cleverest

Yeah. It wasn’t the best shot, but I think the criticism is a bit OTT

Slips will be licking their lips here.

Was a tad silly. Has good feet against spinners so can usually get back and knock off singles.

Over the top on the smb.

I’m as shocked as you mate

 

[Ashley In!!]

Good bowling, questionable shot selection from Root, unlucky with the deflection, and a fantastic catch.

Fuck me Benjamin

Another 12/13 overs to get the shine off?

Few more. Get to 25 overs with these two and I start to believe

Still there when the next new ball is due, we might just make it.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Still think we could have been a bit more attacking in the evening session yesterday. Old ball that was doing nothing - not saying we should have gone gung ho but another 20-30 runs in the session would have been nice, put more pressure on the Aussies.

Good start by Bairstow though.

 

[cooky]

It’s happening

 

[Steak Pie]

Johnny's got the drive out.

 

[mackembhoy]

I like they both went for 4.

But he's going too hard at these

 

[Jack Torrance]

Bairstow counter attack

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Just seen the root wicket, was a spectacular catch. *****.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

I'd prefer they played carefully and ground out runs if I am honest.

Tell the fucker to calm down.
