England v India (Third Test) Headingley

[Kborom]

Got ticklets for the first 2 days and was offered Fri as well a few days ago but have other plans. Probably right given the amount we are going to drink. Haven't been at a live game for 2 years, nice to be back.

I'm liking the weather, overcast for most of it but the Headingly pitch isn't the leveller it used to be.

India win the toss and bat. Long day ahead then. Might go into Saturday now at least

Overton AND Curran

Picked 9 players solely on their batting ability

What a f*cking shambles.

Looking forward to see Mahmood bowl, i like him. EDIT - WTF why is he not playing ???!

 

[Jack Torrance]

If Curran had been scoring runs i could maybe agree with it. But 2 first ball ducks in the last game

Both are absolute shite. My god we miss Stokes !!

They think Overton would be better suited to Headingley apparently

Expecting us to get hammered but fuck it.

Absolutely staggered, literally can't believe it.

Curran is a really poor choice, I’d have picked Mahmood. Otherwise fine

It does go to show, if we scrape off the top layer of the team. We have a pile of crap underneath.

Missing a lot mind. Broad, Wood, Woakes, Archer, Stone.

Most teams missing 5 of their top 8 quicks would be struggling

What does Mahmood have to do then to get a chance?
Sam Curran has four golden ducks in his last nine Test innings and figures of 1-171 so far in this series.

Another here who’d have picked Mahmood over Curran. Big fan of Curran in general but after the last two Tests and lords in particular I don’t see how you can pick him again, he’s very fortunate to still be in the side imo. Hoping he turns in a match winning performance now but you’d have to think the odds are against it.

It's absolutely impossible to pick Curran after his last performances, I'm stunned at the selection. Mahmood had to play.

Thank god for Jimmy.

Ohhhhh JIMMY JIMMY

Hideous isn’t it

Hasn’t taken wickets, hasn’t scored a run, yet still gets picked on his ability to bat.

 

[TravellingMackem]

I don’t mind Curran as a 4th seamer when we don’t have Woakes or stokes available. Overton I can’t understand though, had his chances and never done a thing for me

 

[Steak Pie]

Ball is hooping around mind, if we can get this right this morning we could run through them.
