England v India - Third Test, 10/07

[Ghfd]

This tracker is a bit funny

There one yesterday that gave missing but on replay it looked like it went through leg stump

They showed it once and not again

Now that one looked umpires call but smack the stump below bail height

Not convinced myself

 

[SAFC 2012]

Check the toffs out man clapping him like he’s just been bowled out on 200

 

[Black Cat Bob]

Why are they clapping?

 

[The Breen Machine]

Pope isn't a 3 like he's too frenetic early in his innings. He'll fill his boots every so often when he gets in, but against good bowling he doesn't get in often enough.

 

[Steve Leeds]

He can share a taxi with Crawley

yes, two big weaknesses

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

Sorry that’s terrible by Pope a bowler trying to run the ball in the whole over. Yet every ball he’s planted his feet never moved his guard over so naive it’s untrue!

 

[tomsafc10]

Popes Got a second innings average of 16.5 before today

 

[Dadsarmy73]

Tbf although awful from Pope, this DRS looks decidedly dodgy

 

[scotch]

Pope with usual 2nd innings failure

If it was a short sample size you could forgive it, but he's 50+ tests in.
He's not good enough to bat In the top 5

Some of the calls and ball flights are dodgy as fuck on it like. IMO obviously

 

[Kumbuka]

This series really does some up Pope. Average of 30 ish and manages to sneak in a century amongst that.

 

[scotch]

Popes Got a second innings average of 16.5 before today

Bolstered by his 196 in India

 

[Doogie Hauser]

Another useless second innings from that shite number 3.

 

[SuperSub]

This series has been typical Pope, 106 from his first innings and then only 80 from his next 5 knocks.

 

[Classic94]

He’s just simply not got the technique or mentality to bat 3 at this level. He’s a 6 or 7 at best. Bethell in next test please.

 

[zebediah]

Get Smith batting earlier

There is plenty not working, so for god's sake don't mess with what is working.

 

[Ongo Baglogian]

We’re essentially 3 down as Crawley won’t last much longer.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

If it was a short sample size you could forgive it, but he's 50+ tests in.

He does average 43 at 3 mind

He’s very feast or famine. But he’s got 8 tons at 3

 

[Steve Leeds]

There is plenty not working, so for god's sake don't mess with what is working.

but think about it, we've only 9 wickets with bashir, who's going to bat with him

 

[dangermows]

India making great use of the new ball. Once the shine is off, and it's softer, runs will be had.
