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

[Machiavelli]

I think today's cricket could be match defining.

I think it will be series defining

 

[Eeyore]

Cummins has opened up the covers for Root. Careful, Joe

Lovely shot there, but he's had him before across that line.

At some point in the last few days the commentator on cricinfo expressed surprise that Moeen Ali had a better bowling average than Ashley Giles.
I think that somebody's making that comparison says more than anything else.
It's a shame given how good he has been at his best.

 

[banjo]

Crawley.

 

[Soton Seagull]

England making sure it isn't easy. Crawley gone.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Here we go ......

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Blimey this is going to be tight but did we expect anything else

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

 

[Beach Hut]

99/3 reckless swish from Crawley

 

[Pevenseagull]

I’ve gone for Crawley at 5/1.

he has a little head start (as does Duckett, but his odds were meagre)

I wouldn't write this in other circumstances, but I really hope you lose your bet today

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

At least we have somebody with decent shot selection in now.
Oh. Never mind.

 

[pasty]

Why is it always so bloody nerve wracking watching England bat

 

[Berty23]

Fed up with Crawley.

Since start of 2021 he has played 29 matches. 57 innings. 2 hundreds. Averaging 24. How much longer does he get ffs?

Marsh was looking rubbish. Then gave him a wicket and now he looks amazing.

 

[Sheebo]

99/3 reckless swish from Crawley

Wish it was…

 

[Mackenzie]

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….

 

[Sheebo]

Changing the ball has helped them an awful lot here. Maybe they have this ‘luck’ they keep saying we’ve been having… Pricks.

 

[pasty]

150 to go

 

[Ethelwulf]

How on earth England keep picking Crawley he is a walking wicket

 

[Berty23]

Changing the ball has helped them an awful lot here. Maybe they have this ‘luck’ they keep saying we’ve been having… Pricks.

The biggest turning point of luck this series must surely be Brook getting out in the first test when looking a million dollars.
