[Cricket] Eng v Ind 3rd Test Headingley 25 - 29 Aug

[GT49er]

Shame - I was hoping to see Moeen at his most elegant cut and drive his way to a century! Oh well - how many can Robinson bash?

 

[jakarta]

A quick dash in the morning just to piss Kohli off, sorry I meant field again?

 

[jakarta]

Come on now, how has this gone to Page 2?

India 13-0, just the small matter of 341 runs adrift...

 

[pasty]

Fascinating morning thus far. England unlucky not to have taken a wicket yet.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Fantastic overall. But some shit dismissals. Buttler, Ali and Curran all very soft. 418 for 8.

This.

Moheen might destroy 2020 bowling, but he looks very tentative in Tests these days. A bowler who can bat but generally doesn't.

 

[pasty]

Take a bow YJB, great catch

Rahul c Bairstow b Overton 8

India 34/1

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

What a catch, bonus having a wicket keeper in the slips, what reflexes

 

[banjo]

112-1. Need a couple of wickets in the last session after tea.

 

[banjo]

Rohit gone.

 

[Nitram]

India playing really well in difficult conditions. They are a tough side.

 

[Beach Hut]

Early wicket 215/3

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Good session

 

[The Fits]

C’mon Ollie grab a 5 for. Or 6. Or 7. Or 8!

 

[jakarta]

Could all be over before Lunch? Not a lot left in the locker for India...

 

[Eeyore]

Feeling a little vindicated about Robinson. He has been the best English seamer for two or three years now but England is a closed shop too often. They rushed Archer in when I would have selected Robinson ahead of him.

Because Robinson is an old fashioned donkey he will always be penalised. But he takes wickets anywhere and everywhere. He is not a swing bowler and as useful as English conditions are he doesn't need them.

I think it took McGrath sometime to be recognised by Australia. We have a similar situation.

Still, we will get a few years from him.
