4th test Manchester

[TravellingMackem]

Would love to see Hameed or Sibley, move from 50 to 100 in 26 balls in a crucial match where we need to push on to win a match to get back into a series.

They simply not capable of doing it!!

Even if they do have more first class centuries against the likes of Derbyshire!!

I’m sure they’d have scored some 100s in what must be about 40 tests for Crawley now. He’s rank, even if he’s having one decent test.

Parity... By tea !!! I know they are good but I can't see 120 scored in about 4 overs... although you never know

Aye got carried away

But an hour after would be perfectly doable at 7 an over. They've slowed down now mind, ironically I think if ever there was a time to go full pelt it's now, if you're playing to 3 days more or less they're still a long way off a win

Travis Head just looks Australian

Just as well he is eh

Typical that we look in our best nick with the bat in the series and Saturday and Sunday look like they'll be wash-outs

If Starcs injured the Aussies are really fucked.

Australia: 200 runs in 51.4 overs (312 balls), Extras 12
England: 200 runs in 35.3 overs (216 balls), Extras 6

I mean even 200 in 51.4 is quick. I saw an Ashes test where the Aus 200 came up last over of the first day back in the 80s. Only three down as well. That was test cricket.

Hope so, series ender with any luck

it feels like only the rain can save them at the minute and sadly i think it will

 

[Kumbuka]

I hope we don’t declare today. Hopefully we bat through to 12:20 tomorrow, get a lead of 100 or so (maybe more!) and put them under real pressure in their second innings.

Found it, think I’ll keep an eye on it

“England on for 300 or even 350 with wickets in hand

Wait what do you mean this isn't an ODI?!”

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Anything 367+ will give us a chance as weather is favourite for this test

That’s not what I said, I said they were incapable of doing what he has done in this session totally incapable!

They simply could not have moved the score along like he has done

What he has done is exactly what was needed giving the situation and the weather.

But yeah have tbh I would have dropped Crawley at the start played Foakes as keeper and Bairstow as a batsman.

As record poor overall tbf

Aussies with more sweepers out than Sunderland Council.

Root still takes the p!ss out of them.

He wouldn’t need to do this if he didn’t throw his wicket away 4 times in the first 2 tests, and we were 2-1 up of course….

The weather forcast is putting a massive dampener on this like
