3rd test - Headingley

[Boo]

I love that ‘Wizard of Oz’ camera shot.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

..not one of Jonny's finest series. Think he's been the difference between the two sides so far.

When you take into account the standard of the dismissals and the poor catching we deserve nothing

Been outplayed during the key moments. Still twists yet i think.

 

[herra soul mob]

bring back Alan Knott

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Seriously man, these are like some pissed bloke walking home, sering some kids playing in the street and asking to have a bat

 

[mackembhoy]

Foakes has to come in for Bairstow.

He won't. But Jonny has been utterly horrendous

[Father Jack Hackett]

Both are 10/11 now with Bet365.

I'd have had the Aussies at 2/5 minimum

 

[viccarlton]

Used to be an excellent cricketer Bairstow who has struggled since injury.

Tidied

[Durham-Mackem41]

Just awful the constant gifted wickets when on top.

..not one of Jonny's finest series. Think he's been the difference between the two sides so far.

For me its all the approach and mentality. We have been casual, too laid back, not treating the series/occasion with the respect it deserves. That has bred sloppiness and poor decision making (Bairstow is certainly symptomatic of that but many others too). Aussies are focussed, professional, ruthless and will win because of it i fear.

 

[The Mole]

That has to be the last we see of Bairstow in this series.

If only, this regime doesn’t like to admit it was wrong

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Woakes is capable of getting 50

 

[cfg]

Would love to see a stat of runs scored by JB against runs lost from his drops and missed stumping.

Get your abacus out and do the calc

You had one job.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

how did the maths o level go ?

He deals in Dalmations, not numericals

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Bairstow just doesn't look fit, his form was incredible in 2022 before he got injured

 

[The Rolls Royce]

Unforgivable letting a past his prime Starc do so well this series

 

[Monument View]

Bairstow bye bye
He has never had any movement since his broken leg and looked unfit at Chester
Sadly picked on past reputation and has been well off the pace

Thing is if they approached it the other way i.e 2 years ago prodding around, they would have died slower than this. This England team isn't great.
