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

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Can't wait to see us bat, waving the bat above our heads on a quick wicket with 8 fielders behind the stumps.

Like the days of Lilley and Thomson...1 bloke at mid on !

They will play out their plan and our brainless ones will complete it for them.

 

[The Wizard]

ANOTHER DROP, absolute clowns

 

[The Wizard]

Nearly dropped that one as well, yikes.

6 down, I’m rather concerned about the Aussie bowlers on this deck though…. Looks very bouncy and plenty of nip

How many has he dropped this Ashes? 4 or is it 5

Hope Carey got a 'Welcome to Headingly' as he walked out?

 

[The Wizard]

How many has he dropped this Ashes? 4 or is it 5

Four that I can think of, think there was a tough one in the first test as well, 4 what you would say dollies for slip fielders normally though.

Root is a fantastic fielder and slip catcher normally, just a case of the yips, that one he did catch there he basically chested it down, lucky boy.

Starc bowled by Wood 249-7

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Great bowling from Wood but something we'll be seeing very soon when we bat.

 

[The Wizard]

Mark Wood rips one through, Starc gone, are the Aussies doing an England calypso callapso?

Perhaps it’s just me but watching this I’m starting to fear for what will happen to our batsman

 

[KZNSeagull]

Cummins lbw Wood 0. 249-8

 

[The Wizard]

Cya Cummins, absolutely plumb, Wood on fire.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Cummins lbw Wood 0. 249-8

I'm watching on NOW TV.
Despite the title, it's so far behind Wood was bowling the previous ball when I read this.

 

[WhingForPresident]

f*** off Cummins.

Let's get this done.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Get gone spunky.

 

[Eeyore]

Was just thinking that Wood is one bowler who could mop up a tail quickly. Real opportunity here.

 

[The Wizard]

They are so used to the 80mph dobblers that these 90mph heat seeking missiles are unplayable

 

[banjo]

There you go, nothing to worry about.

 

[Simster]

There you go, nothing to worry about.

Really? They should be all out by now - for about 150. Plus if you think this looks like a low score, wait until we bat with our long tail and the Australians finding new ways to cheat.
