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

[Greg Bobkin]

13 drops/missed stumpings from England already this series.

For context, though, Australia have missed seven chances. Clearly not as bad, but mistakes do happen.

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Root has dropped a few in the slips recently. Catches win matches. Too many duds in the team.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Need to break this partnership quick

 

[jcdenton08]

We’ve bowled well. Frustrating the dropped catches and, in the previous tests, the extras. It’s cost us

 

[The Wizard]

We always seem to let them off the hook, so annoying.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Both dropped catches off head and marsh criminal at any level
If foakes had played in all 3 tests I wonder what the situation would be now

 

[Ethelwulf]

Robinson again the weak link ffs

Why no reports on BBC website?

Edit: Seems to be on the main page but not on the 'My News' Cricket page.

Same old Moeen, always at least one loose ball an over makes it easy for the batsman.

The Aussies are tonking us around now, Robinson bowling short 78mph plodders such average bowling from Robbo this series.

Robinson injured?? Been saying all the way through he hasn’t looked right

 

[Ethelwulf]

England cricket team like the football team certain players get picked
No way should Ali be playing ( Dawson should be ) and Bairstow is not fit enough to keep

 

[Ethelwulf]

100 partnership ffs

 

[Ali_rrr]

Anyone want some exciting less test focused, The Netherlands need 21 off of just under overs to qualify over the Scots for the World Cup. Still 8 overs left but NL have to make it within 44 overs.

Edit: NL have qualified with an over to spare! They needed 10.5 an over after 25 overs.

There's the live blog/feed, but maybe the BBC Sport staff are too tied up with Wimbledon coverage to produce bespoke reports?

Another game where we should have had them out for a fair whack less than whatever we get them out for, so wasteful.

Brainless bowling to Marsh as well, he loves shorter bowling he’s a power hitter from his crease, need to keep it straight and fuller to him otherwise he plays like this and just hoiks people to all parts.

If the fat ginger catches head and root catches marsh they would of been 100 off for 6 what a missed opportunity to have then all out for 150

 

[Giraffe]

Had Johnny grabbed Head we would all be coming over very excited now. Not a sentence I thought I'd ever write.

 

[nicko31]

Don't blow it England, we need them out tonight, tomorrow will be good batting conditions

 

[Ethelwulf]

Marsh into the late 70s unforgivable to drop him on 12 England don’t deserve anything

Lovely booming straight drive from a full and straight delivery there
