[3rd Test] England v Pakistan (Rose Bowl)

[brandon]

Load of f***ing shite.

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Forecast for tomorrow looks a little improved. May lose a couple of hours from 14:00 - 16:00. Tuesday looks shit, fairly simple need to wrap it up tomorrow.

Will England get enough time with the ball to win? It's in the lap of the weather gods.

 

[Twisted]

Their Captain has decided to open the second innings. Out first ball?

with them going off before a ball was bowled i'm wondering if they can change that tomorrow, since time at the bar has been called

umpires must want to get ready to watch the football

At the same time a stop start innings won't help their batsman. So when we do get on could make hay while the rain isn't falling.

Crossed the threshold so no I reckon

 

[Voice of fair play]

Yea he’s played well by all accounts. Not disputing that. But he will cost us more wickets in future than other options. Didn’t matter today but again he wasn’t flawless.

‘He wasn’t flawless’

Not sure what more you want from a keeper in a innings?

Had the same thought - usually do it on whether you entered the boundary or not dont they?

His best test ever and he still managed to miss a catch whilst keeping

10:30 start tomorrow then? Or would that be too sensible

He wasn't flawless in the same way Jimmy wasn't because he threw a couple overthrows. No one is flawless but Butler has been excellent this test and very good this summer.

Jimmy now tied with Wasim in international 5 wicket innings (8th with 31) and with McGrath in test match 5 fors (6th with 29)

You should just give up mate, 150, three catches ,one standing up, and two diving ones down the leg side, one a absolutely brilliant world class one, yet you still find a angle to critcise.

It’s quite a art actually!

Think you missing my point mate, it’s me singing his praises.

You simply can’t criticise Buttler for this performance. We all know my opinion (yawn, I know), but he’s been top class this match

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Stuart Broad dropping one off Jimmy Anderson and then casually throwing the ball at the stumps for a run-out was the highlight of the day. Anderson was furious

Of course you cant. You would have to be batshit mental idiot if you did. The question is more whether he is changing your opinion of him.
