[Cricket] The Ashes- England v Australia- 3rd Test, Headingley, July 06-10, 2023

[Is it PotG?]

Whereas Tubby, and even Ponting to some degree, offer a pretty balanced commentary there is no debate who Mel Jones supports.

 

[The Wizard]

It’s just pathetic at this point, why doesn’t Root just open the batting? He’s always batting after about 3 overs anyway

Brook and his inflated average, depart.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I messaged Kinky Gerbils about 20 minutes ago saying we'll be 30-5 at close.

It's hard to see us getting through the evening session without losing a few wickets.

It's on!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Who's going to be our main run contributor then?

Looks like we'll need a biggie from someone.

Won't be Brook.....

 

[WhingForPresident]

Can't see Brook lasting long.

Edit: FFS.

 

[banjo]

Come on Root. Big balls.

 

[keaton]

Not sure moving Brooks up to three as he first starts having issues at test cricket was the best idea

 

[Hugo Rune]

Suddenly the Aussie total looks very competitive indeed. Balls.

 

[The Wizard]

Suddenly the Aussie total looks very competitive indeed. Balls.

Doesn’t matter what total they get, with a batting line up this fragile any score is competitive, too much pressure on Root as usual.

 

[KZNSeagull]

50 up off 8.2.

 

[The Wizard]

Carey is a fantastic wicket keeper, absolute bellenda Carlisle mind.

 

[zefarelly]

Left work at 17:03

Wondered briefly if I'd make it home before we lost a wicket.

we didn't, we lost 2. FFS!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Southgate's there. Presumably to watch Crawley

 

[banjo]

Southgate's there. Presumably to watch Crawley

 

[KZNSeagull]

Dickie Bird is there too.

 

[Muzzman]

Dickie Bird is there too.

A name for the people I thought who had left us.. especially when they showed his name on the clock. Was thoroughly relieved to see him still with us.

 

[The Wizard]

Zzzzzzz same old Crawley

 

[KZNSeagull]

Crawley gone. 65-3 Gets another start, fails to push on. Again.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Catches win matches.

Marsh should have been gone for a few.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Nobody saw that coming
