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

[METALMICKY]

Teams only team to do it when they are in desperate situations, which in itself says a lot, teams know it’s against the spirit and sportsmanship of cricket but in desperate times when you can’t get a wicket, anything goes.

And the difference between the incident the other day and mankad is with that you are actively gaining/trying to gain an advantage

Indeed. Bairstow was neither feigning to take a run or perhaps had taken his guard way out of the crease. The best result was that they should have withdraw the appeal. But as as say they were desperate and sending Bairstow was critical.

Where's Kevin Pietersen? Didn't see him in the build up, he hasn't commentated yet and Mark Butcher has been brought in.

SMASH!

42-2

12.6 Wood to Khawaja, OUT
Cleaned him up! Leg stump flattened via an inside edge! Finally goes full at 94.6mph, beautiful seam, shaping in a fraction on middle and off, Khawaja is stuck on the crease, driving hard but leaving a big gap between bat and pad, he gets an inside edge and it flattens leg stump! That's what pace does.
Usman Khawaja b Wood 13 (37b 2x4 0x6) SR: 35.13

Extras top scoring so far !!

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Ohh that's the stuff.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Lovely stuff

I really think ' Just Stop Oil ' will have missed a trick if they don't invade when Carey comes out to bat and cover him in orange powder. Orange dog shite would of course really get the public behind them!

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

There is nothing quite like the sight of a really fast bowler sending stumps flying to take a wicket. Fantastic!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I'm no expert in cricket.....but it looks like it's harder to hit a ball when it's coming at you quicker......

Woakes joins the party!

61-3

19.3 Woakes to Labuschagne, OUT
Straight into Root's breadbasket! Labuschagne's slim pickings continue, and that's a regulation nick!
Marnus Labuschagne c Root b Woakes 21 (58b 4x4 0x6) SR: 36.2

Change of commentary again and Mel Jones has made up it from The Oval last night to join Michael Atherton and still no Kevin Pietersen.

Bliss.
