England v India (Third Test) Headingley

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Does anyone get a partial refund? I'm sure the tight-fisted Yorkies will know.

 

[Concordsafc]

Never in doubt that, what a collapse. The pitch suited batters for me shows how good our bowling attack has been these two innings

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Fantastic performance

 

[chopsfc007]

No need - just the type of shit comments that TM has being rightly criticised for.

I don't usually but he'd give me loads of abuse

 

[dixonsafc]

Get in!

Dominant win. Superb.

 

[Salem Street South]

Superb.
No Broad, Stokes, Wood, Archer, Woakes that is some performance.
Well done England, now back it up at the Oval please.

 

[Kborom]

gerrin England

 

[Johnap]

Fantastic result - great batting and bowling. Much better catching than the last game. We looked a much better side. Right lads - on the beer at the Junction in Otley iirc.

not at home but in Oz I reckon so aye


I said a few months ago I think the plan was one of broad/Jimmy, wood/archer and Overton/Robinson

the idea you need pace over there to win is way overplayed. But likes of woakes n Curran just don’t fit the Bill, not tall enough

Yes that’s true. Tall bowlers are very important and having pace and height is obviously great but height more important than express pace. Anderson may not fall into those categories but he is exceptional. The likes of Robinson and Overton have the edge on the likes of Woakes and Curran who I wouldn’t take.

Fair enough!

Innings and 76 runs man what a win

 

[brandon]

Virat, what’s the score?!

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Superb from the bowlers. Good catching to support too. Very good response from the previous test. Top three looks better with Malan in there and Root is just magnificent. Need some big contributions from Bairstow and Buttler now.

I think they’ll go just so they have a back up plan for if stokes isn’t fit

woakes and Curran won’t score runs in Australia though that’s the problem

A comprehensive and comfortable victory that still has clear room for possible improvement. Doesn't get any better than that.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

For some reason I thought it was india's 1st innings ops

Buttler kept well tbf, I hope he’s available for the rest of the series. I thought the slips looked a lot better as Root, Bairstow, Overton hope we can stick with that for a bit

 

[rentaghost]

You just know the Oval will take spin. Be like us to shoot ourselves in the foot

I thought they were leading by a hundred at one point
