3rd test - Headingley

[JackL]

That must be a gutting feeling, your essentially paying £100’s for a exhibition.

Yeah you think you're going for an elite sporting event and now it's this. 3 nights in Manchester and travel etc, not going to be the same now

[Hongkongphooey]

This is what happens when the mentality of the team is to hit every ball for runs

 

[forzamilansafc]

Series could be over by tomorrow

We'll get very little cricket tomorrow

 

[zebediah]

Agent Bairstow, scoring fuck all and dropping catches all ower the shop.
That first test declaration man, will possibly go down as one of the stupidest cricketing decisions in history.

 

[Stormo]

But if they're 3 nil by close of play it's academic

Well aye I was just indicating the series will be over basically half way through.

 

[scotch]

Johnny should be dropped. He’s lost all confidence.

Duckett’s the only batsman who’s performed well in this series. Even Root’s been underwhelming.

Cummins has root similar to broad for warner

 

[Voice of fair play]

I still believe @Voice of fair play

250 run partnership from these two coming up

Haway the gingers

Not looking good mate, hope I am wrong but the Marsh dropped catch when he was on 12 looks like it’s going to be the defining moment of the game

 

[DR CHEESE]

Never did I think when getting old Trafford tickets that it would be a dead rubber

Ditto mate, will be avin a few £6 pints on day one

 

[Roker Mackem]

Predicted Ashes winning time?

I'll go Sunday 12.20pm

A fair few on here justified it too, because we almost won haha.

 

[Keith S30S]

Haway Ali, come to the party. Woakes too. Let's give these twats a game.

The "domino effect" from that declaration is what I feared when it happened , could lose the series 5-0

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

They are just so much more mentally stronger than us. Any hint of pressure and we crack.

 

[rentaghost]

Thought Crawley, Root and Brook got good balks tbf, Duckett it really is just his game so hes going to get some poor dismissals.
That shot by Johnny was just crap

One of the issues with Crawley is that he takes an off stump guard to help negate LBW but it also means he plays at balls he doesn't need to. He's been out a couple of times this series playing defensively at ball that are well outside off stump. Not terrible shots but symptomatic of taking an off stump guard.

Simply should have kept bairstow out of the squad until after the ashes. he'd been out a fair while. It's safe to say he's had a poor series, as have many of them tbf

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

The "domino effect" from that declaration is what I feared when it happened , could lose the series 5-0

I backed 5-0 as soon as that test was lost, as you say the domino effect, seen it so many times, only got 11-1

Looked impact outside for me
