3rd test - Headingley

[Father Jack Hackett]

Woakes is capable of getting 50

Sadly, so was Bairstow

 

[Big Jeff]

We still have Ali to bat ……..errr hang on though

 

[cfg]

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

This is bazball, didn’t you get the memo?

 

[Mr Redknapp]

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

Quality bowler, if anything why he didn't play the 1st test was criminal.

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

You had one job.

 

[Hetty]

They're too bothered about playing footy and golf

 

[Silly Point]

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

Should never have been brought back without proving form and fitness. Many of us on here called it despite some dissent from one or two

 

[zebediah]

Foakes has to come in for Bairstow.

He won't. But Jonny has been utterly horrendous

If we get there today, and keep him as WK in the next test we deserve to lose the Ashes.

 

[JackL]

Wonder how many ashes tests we need to lose before they admit the approach has been all wrong?

 

[The Red Telephone]

Well that's Bairstow playing for Yorkshire against Durham at Scarborough in a couple of weeks time.

 

[mackembhoy]

Excellent cricketer Bairstow who has struggled since injury.

Yep it was probably the right call after his summer last year.

But he's not fit enough for test cricket and it's a gamble that hasn't worked.

 

[EchoMan]

Root and Stokes got out playing at balls down the leg side that were nowhere near the stumps. Unforgivable considering the time that is left in the match.

 

[Silly Point]

Well that's Bairstow playing for Yorkshire against Durham at Scarborough in a couple of weeks time.

Lucky for Durham

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Woakes and Brook are the last 2 chances.

 

[zebediah]

Wonder how many ashes tests we need to lose before they admit the approach has been all wrong?

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, the new approach has been superb, they just need to tweak it, like actually practising fielding.

 

[Church]

A quick 40 partnership switches the pressure back to Oz. Come on lads.

 

[Boo]

At least five of the six wickets today have been down to bad judgement.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

At least five of the six wickets today have been down to bad judgement.

and they might still win it!

 

[zebediah]

FFS, did you not see how Stokes got out!!!!!

 

[Silly Point]

f***ing going at one down leg again
