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

Well....if ' old iron gloves ' is to make up for his mistakes behind the stumps so far in this series, then he needs to make something in the region of 240.

Shift the Decimal place 2 digits left

Is there any good reason why all pitches in England can't have this much bounce?
I know there's not much you can do if it rains continously for 2months before the game, but there's been much the same weather in Leeds as anywhere else in the country and this is miles better than the porridge the last two matches were played on.

The problem with Bairstow's poor performance behind the stumps is it then puts a huge amount of pressure on his batting.

If he's not doing anything with the bat either, he becomes a HUGE liability to the side.

And I BET he eats loads of the buffet.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Bairstow gone flashing. Caught at slip. 87-5

There's a time and a place...!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Blimey that was closer than it looked.

Because we'd lose to the Aussies even worse than we usually do?

No player from either team wants slow dead pitches

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Might do better when we go over there though.
And you'd think we'd do better in all the series against teams who aren't Australia.
More importantly though, it's just much better to watch.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Well played.

Youve got me baby

 

[Bodian]

And you'd think we'd do better in all the series against teams who aren't Australia.

Not done badly against these though.

 

[Bodian]

Aggers stumped for words as we throw away another wicket.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Pfft

 

[dazzer6666]

Brainless. Again. Twat.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Brainless.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Again relying on Stokes for a century.

 

[Bodian]

Again relying on Stokes for a century.

Or two.

We don’t learn.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Australia don't need to be good all the time we are playing like idiots.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Australia don't need to be good all the time we are playing like idiots.

The main difference between the sides is Australia have taken almost every catch, whilst we've dropped around 13. That's series defining.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

FFS. What a way to end the session.
