3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

[Deleted member 36123]

At the time I said that out of the World Cup and the Ashes, if we could win only one of them, I would have taken the World Cup.

Not finding that any consolation after that total disaster.

 

[Hulkenburger]

4/7 Australia now, is that right?

Yup.

 

[wrighty]

Just seen Stokes shot on the replay's, christ

Only one of a number of shockers

 

[Baby Give It Up]

You'll get to see a David Warner double-ton.

Looool

 

[Herberthall]

Ponting in a kink man

Remember when we were good

I am happy to remember anything these days

Lunch - They should be force fed Kangaroo shit.

Imagine this lineup against the 80s/90s windies attack

Indeed.
Roy & Bairstow v Wasim & Waqar, Donald & Pollock, Thomson & Lillee, Ambrose & Walsh etc.
Batsmen with averages of 38-40 back then would have stats like Steve Smith today.

this is what happens when you piss around with red ball cricket.

Unbelievable - still printing money. Cheats should be 1/4 at the most generous. It’s so bad, that if Buttler doesn’t score a hundred we’ve lost.

Imagine this lineup against the 80s/90s windies attack

How many less runs could they get like!

 

[JohnSmithUK]

At least the fall of wickets has slowed for half an hour. 13:40 the shit hits the fan again.

 

[Boo]

Woakes and Buttler did well to get to lunch there. But we know what will happen next. Cummins will be brought back to delight Woakes and Broad with some bumpers, while Buttler will just do something daft. I'm going for 75 all out.

If Curtley Ambrose bowled 7 overs against this lot, he'd have 6 maidens and a fiver.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Terrible thing is we are exposing Root to those sort of deliveries by having hopeless openers and having him to high up the order.

burns
sibley
stokes
roy
root
bairstow
buttler (Capt wk)
woakes
broard
archer
Ali

next test.

Root needs to be sacked after this series. Morgan has shown him up badly in comparison in the ODI’s.

Doesn't look far off, but I wouldn't have Moeen back, at any price.

It's 1.83 for under 142.5 runs. That's £25 going on.

 

[The Breen Machine]

If we lose this test and with it the Ashes then heads should roll. Thank fuck Bayliss is going after this series, he's presided over some of the most embarrassing test performances from us in 2 decades.

The Roy experiment needs to be ended, Denly shouldn't have started this series and has to go now, Bairstow is on thin ice sill and Root's captaincy is poor - he needs replacing for his and the team's sake. Give it to Anderson for a year with a suitable vice-captain in the wings to take over.

What a load of f***ing crap. Great decision to field Joe
