Third Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[dixonsafc]

Can we take the extra half hour to get the result?

 

[zebediah]

Come on 500

 

[Mrjardine]

What an attitude broad has. Could easily have sulked but decided to say fuck you and come back like this. Brilliant.

No doubt he’ll be giving stokes a little nudge

499

amazing tally

 

[zebediah]

2 down before the close pretty please

We want 3
We want 3

No one with more wickets than him (not that there are many), have got more runs than him either. Brilliant cricketer

 

[Voice of fair play]

Never give a sucker an even break, ever. Why risk giving them even a sniff? There was no need.
We are 400 ahead and they are 1 down already. Even with hindsight you can’t accept the way we played was correct.

You’re better than this mind.

I always like a positive mindset and think that is what to look for win the game think of the postives, we should not even be thinking of losing this game only winning it.

The test that springs to my mind is the Adelaide Test in 2006/2007, England batted first got over 550 in the first innings the one where Collingwood got a double ton and think KP got a ton too., yet the Aussies still won from that position, by scoring quickly getting past our score bowling us out, then going for it on the final day winning the game.

They is no way in the world this England team would win a test match with the opposition scoring over 550 in the first innings.

Feel really privileged to have lived through all of Broad’s and Jimmy’s test careers. . . Colossal

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Not sure why they thought putting a nightwatchman in was a good idea, with the form Broad is in, and the need to keep as many wickets in hand as possible.

 

[zebediah]

This is why I thought it was imperative to get them in tonight, the weather is now irrelevant, even if we lose the whole day tomorrow and not get a full day Tuesday, they are broke.

England 551/6d @ 3.27
Australia 513ao @ 3.09

So when you say they scored quickly, they actually went slower than we did.
