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

[Si Gull]

Wouldn’t it be lovely if the top order just knocked these off. Obviously it’ll be Robinson and Broad needing 30 odd at the end….

My thoughts exactly. A nice, relaxing pursuit of a reasonable total, 5 or 6 wicket win.....or do it the hard way? Another 75 without loss and it's in the bag, I reckon.

So which one of these two is going to be the obligatory wicket two balls before lunch?

 

[The Fits]

Exciting!

 

[Pevenseagull]

significant development.... Sky now showing runs to win.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Job half done now.

Root really needs to stay about for a lot longer you feel. Let’s get to lunch without losing another wicket. If we can come out after the break with just double figures to get, we could begin to increase the run rate and perhaps get this done today.

 

[Triggaaar]

So which one of these two is going to be the obligatory wicket two balls before lunch?

Both. Both run out, same run.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Root out. 131-4

 

[The Wizard]

Of course we lose a wicket right before lunch, batting paradise… we will find a way to get out

Stokes must be sick of this shit.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Clockwork

 

[Is it PotG?]

Clever shot that Rooty

 

[WhingForPresident]

Ffs.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Yet again brainless from root

 

[SweatyMexican]

All hanging on Stokes again. If he gets out for little we’re in trouble.

 

[Pevenseagull]

So which one of these two is going to be the obligatory wicket two balls before lunch?

Oh gawd.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Christ, you've got two days to get these runs, why try and hit that?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Take a draw now............

 

[Triggaaar]

All hanging on Stokes again. If he gets out for little we’re in trouble.

If he's out for little, it's over.

It was a poor delivery. There to be hit.

 

[Jeremiah]

It was a poor delivery. There to be hit.

Yes always annoying when a wicket falls on what looks a loose shot but you got to score somewhere.

 

[pasty]

Down to double figures required
