Third Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[The Breen Machine]

Roach and Gabriel have been outstanding this morning.

Fucks sake, we're not getting to 300 are we?

 

[TopCat]

Airy waft to 2nd slip for 4 is my prediction

Wasn't far off

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

f***ing hell

 

[Scotty 1978]

Very good bowling and another very good catch

 

[Boo]

Playing 6 bowlers looks poor when you lose quick wickets and have 3 no.11s

You have to think Curran might have offered more with the bat than Woakes.....

How many wicketkeeprs score regular hundreds?

Well, that was the obvious risk. I think 300 would be an achievement, now. There goes Archer ...

Even for England, losing 6 wickets in the first hour is (will be) impressive

 

[Silly Point]

Shite this

 

[The Red Telephone]

Like watching the first hour's play on the opening day of a Championship match at the Riverside.

 

[BOYCEY]

Bit of a collapse, but I reckon England have been told to go out and swing the bat, concidering the weather forecast.

 

[TopCat]

What's that? 4-18 this morning? Pathetic

Bit of a collapse, but I reckon England have been told to go out and swing the bat, considering the weather forecast.

Swing the bat? They all got out to defensive prods apart from Pope

22 bals, 18 runs, 4 wickets

This will be where Broady finds his batting mojo again. 50* at lunch



Yes, I've been drinking

Anyone checked Gabriels betting account for anything placed on no balls?

 

[mikemanc]

Is Gabriel our top scorer this morning?

 

[TopCat]

Anyone checked Gabriels betting account for anything placed on no balls?

That thought did cross my mind when I saw his Amir-esque no ball earlier

 

[Ghfd]

Where’s the rain?

 

[Boo]

The short balls to Broad aren't achieving much.

Where’s the rain?

No need. Your/our saviour is at the crease.

Shall I do the research?


Dhoni - 33/6 (90 tests)
Pant - 2/2 (13)
Watling - 18/8 (70)
Dowrich - 8/3 (31)
Bairstow - 21/6 (70)
McCullum - 31/12 (101)
Prior - 72/7 (79)
Boucher - 35/5 (147)
Russell - 6/2 (54)
Jones - 6/1 (34)
Dujon - 16/5 (81)
Healy - 22/4 (119)
Haddin- 18/4 (66)
Gilchrist - 26/17 (96)
De Kock - 21/5 (47)
Paine - 7/0 (31)

and
Buttler - 16/1 (42)

I’ve just picked the first keepers I can think of, it’s not meant to be selective. Paine aside, he has the lowest hundreds per test ratio.

Dom. Lovely boy. I’m not watching yet but my alerts are beeping.
