Third Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[Liverpool Beachball]

Brilliant

 

[rudd]

Well done Broad 10wm

 

[TopCat]

10-67 - outstanding from Broad

MOTM without a doubt

 

[Arkle]

I know his size has been joked about, but Cornwall could barely walk off there. Can’t be an international sportsman at that size.

He's got the ideal build for a top class shot putter.

 

[TheRey]

Forgot about Broadys 60-odd as well.

What a man

 

[Ghfd]

Well who else

England win by 269

blackwood c buttler b broad 23

broad 10 for 67. Motm incoming, that was a good catch by buttler to finish it off there. It’s between Bess and broad for motm obvs.

Definitely. His bowling alone would make a MOTM performance but add in his unexpected batting bonus as well...

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

well done England but also well done to the WI. They came over here during this pandemic and have probably not seen much other than cricket pitch and hotel walls for 2 months. Fair play to them

 

[SAFC11]

Think the weather performed better than WI. Broad been very good since he stopped bowling so short a few years ago. Motm

Indeed. People laughing at them, but I'd be going stir crazy cooped up in a hotel unable to go out for months on end.

 

[rudd]

Broad MoM?
Stokes probably MoS? Could put a decent argument for Broad even though he missed one test?

Edit: I go for Broad personally, contributed as much as in the test he missed as Stokes did in this one.

Ow man, Dom Bess helped him bat that long and a great direct hit today.

Indeed, but on Sunday they were wanting to get back to the windies. It’s done their nut in, I suspect being limited to inside the grounds.

i think come the Pakistan series it may be similar

I think Holder has done a great job in marshaling the Windies' limited resources. But they struggle with consistency.

Excellent leader is Holder.

Body is too big for his head mind

 

[scotch]

Good luck picking the bowling attack for pakistan, personally I'd have Anderson and woakes rotate if stokes can bowl,

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Well done England. And huge thanks to the West Indies, they played some excellent cricket at times. Really competitive cricket

anyway how many pints have you had @TheRey

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Broad let Woakes have the ball nice touch

Bit of a shame they weren't staying for some 1 day stuff with ireland

 

[Steak Pie]

3284 runs in 140 matches and averaging less than 20, absolutely disgraceful career from Broad.

Can't believe they're making such a fuss over this national embarrassment.
