3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

One day cricketers trying to play test cricket.... Will rarely work when batting

I was looking forward to sitting in the graden, in the sun today. TMS on, a book and a bottle of white burgundy.

It's clouded over a bit, England are shit, Kindle battery's flat and I forgot to put the wine in the fridge. #firstworldproblems

lol bairstow trying to prove hes a test batter
actually bairstow might not be a bad shout for captain

 

[JohnSmithUK]

like I said earlier...do we need a completely different top order for test cricket


there must be county players who are not flash or quick scorers but who can bat all day, but because they are not grabbing the headlines they dont get a look in

clearly you can win the one day world cup but you cant bat in a test match.

We have a seperate line up for ODI, so why not?

 

[C.ra.ig]

to be fair we could keep positively minded players if the mooted 4 day tests come into force

We’ve got a full bloody team of them. It’s ridiculous - the failed Roy experiment being the latest act of stupidity.

sadly he has to go

yeah but i wouldnt fancy chasing even 160 on day 4/5

If the pitch holds up (doesn't look like it will crumble too much) that's fine for a normal test side. I can see the flaw in the plan.

Imagine not knowing about white burgundy man

its really the region and not the wine...its just as they are some of worlds most revered wines it became an all encompassing term...a bit like hoover

its white wines are equally as good,, a limestone based soil gives them a lovely mineral taste

Looks quite hard. Anyway, if we don't get a good lead and are only chasing 160, that will probably be tomorrow.
