4th test Manchester

[FatDrummer]

Bairstow gets Warner…..oh and it was bowled by Woakes….

 

[Fezza]

Never doubted you Jonny..

I reckon this thread would of went from 18 pages to 27 in about 5 minutes if he dropped that

I would have thrown my phone through the TV

 

[zebediah]

That has cheered me up, was getting a bit down.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Excellent stuff Woakes (and Bairstow). Hopefully that'll give him some confidence

Good player mate, still amazed how much people have forgotten last summer .. not to say criticism shouldn't be allowed

I'm not a fan of bowling first if you win the toss, but I can see why Stokes does it as it fits with what he and McCullum see as England's strengths.

In saying that, I'd rather see them bat first, get a 400+ score, and put all that scoreboard pressure onto the opposition.

Batting second is ideal in local cricket where you can theoretically control the outcome in your favor - win, or draw at the least. I'm not sure the same applies at Test Match level.

Expecting a lot of rain over final 2 days in a must win test, you have to go for it.

If woods on the rope he catches that

 

[KarenDent]

nice timing for the second wicket

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

that's a big chance missed

Tin hat on, but that’s a bit sloppy from Wood

 

[FatDrummer]

Great attempt by Wood.

No one has ever won a test after winning toss and bowling first in Manchester, oh dear, records are there to be broken i suppose

Great attempt by Wood.

Agreed

Yeah, I get that.

Been plenty of times though where teams have formulated a game-plan based on a weather forecast only for it to turn round and bite them on the @rse.

Hopefully not this time though.

The question is whether wood was asked to be in a bit for one dropping short not thinking Smith would play a shot with that carry

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

He was where the captain put can’t understand why not on the fence that’s a dolly catch if he is.

 

[King Kareoke]

One of those I expect if it drops short he should be in if it goes long a couple steps back - just down to a bit of luck for Smith sadly

 

[brandon]

Too many easy singles out there this morning.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Woakes been the pick.
