3rd test - Headingley

[mackembhoy]

Were we discussing this just a few days ago?

Duckett had pulled but not hooked and had looked great, soon as he tried it he got out.

Absolute refusal to learn any lesson and absolutely determined to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Yes we were marra. Same shit different day.

Story of this series. Something about insanity and doing the same thing over and over again.

If Woakes had hit a 6 off that ball then you lot wouldn’t be complaining

 

[Bears Beets]

Anyone want day 4 tickets at OT

 

[wednesday1957]

can't see a way out of this one..abysmal display

 

[Stormo]

Ali going after the same ball he was nearly out with one before. Shocking. Hope he retires again.

 

[Wilsonian]

It's their way or the highway.

There's a cuntish defiance about the whole thing.

Give your head a shake he flapped at every short ball bowled to him. Because he does not want to get into line or use his brains and duck.

You have no control on the hook when it’s above your head

Send me a tenner and I’ll have it

 

[scotch]

Nasser x100% spot on here

 

[Hongkongphooey]

We aren’t going to draw which is the goal, so we’ve already won

Surely it's to entertain the viewing public, read that on here

Honestly this series has been an utter shambles by england

"It's all about the entertaining lads. Don't worry about winning, it's not important"

Said no other Ashes captain ever.

 

[hudson88]

Like I said on the Edgbaston thread - no one must have been watching him in any of the County Championship matches. He was average with the bat and pretty shocking behind the stumps in the game against Durham.

It certainly seems apparent that he was picked based upon his record, rather than form and fitness.

 

[mackembhoy]

They've believed their own hype and thought they were changing the very fabric of test match cricket.

We've not done the basics well enough and lost every key moment in the series. Test match cricket wins at the end of the day.

Another piss poor selection

Sums it all up perfectly for me this

 

[brandon]

Woakes is just doing what he's been told. No half measures with Bazball, all out attack all the time.

That isn’t how the captain has played

 

[mackembhoy]

Nasser x100% spot on here

Like he always does. He's a fantastic pundit.

I know it's easier to be sat on the side-lines and comment on it. But he's not saying anything controversial at all.

 

[scotch]

Ali out, robinson out, johnny without the gloves next test
Dawson/ahmed, Tongue, Foakes,
Thats my pick
However, it'll probably be
ali, Jimmy, Johny WK

 

[Yahrba]

Id take even scores for the second innings . If the two yorkshire lads can take us to lunch we may well get a 50 lead ...If .

So much for that
