4th Ashes Test - Old Trafford

[Mainze]

Real shame we lost those 2 wickets late last night.

Fighting hard here! Come on!

 

[TravellingMackem]

We have two bad habits. Losing wickets after session starts and losing wickets to the new ball. Both will bite us on the arse today. Think we need to promote Leach up to 9 today though, he’s much more likely than archer and broad

Haway England!!

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Come on!!

 

[The Rat]

What a series this is

Can’t fault the effort of England

 

[Wise Man Says]

Even BBC text complaining about Wade and his mouth

The Aussies are a set of twats. Then again, their teams usually are

 

[Julio]

Just shows how important it would of been if Root and Burns had hung around for more than 12 seconds

I was thinking about Leach earlier - he certainly seems to have the better technique for this scenario.

Glad I am not the captain.

 

[The warthog]

Fuck it I’m starting to believe

 

[Mrjardine]

Been a good effort. Just wondering if we lose when the transformation from battling hard (which we are clearly doing) to bottling it and being spineless will happen.

 

[The Rat]

What time were we off for bad light on other days? Does anyone know?

Oh give up

Not this again

Which wickets in this innings were “bottling it” and “spineless”

Name them.

I can’t see the umpires bringing them off for bad light on the last day of a test. Would get so much stick if they did - very rarely does it happen, would need extreme circumstances like an impending thunder storm

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Didn’t think we’d get this far. Surely not Leach cleaning his specs before facing the last over of the Test...

I think you have misunderstood what I’m getting at but never mind.

Couldn’t cope watching broad and archer go out for a slogfest in this position

Played til 7 last night

Floodlights were on from about 2.30

I’ve criticised Buttler a lot, deservedly, but it’s a good effort so far

They don’t have a chouce

They took a reading earlier in the test and as soon as it hits that they go off

Christ that’s far too late then

New ball will end this

Think they came off at 6.40 the previous day, but could be wrong
