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

200 up. 51 required.

I'm happy to criticise his keeping and batting, but everything I've ever heard about Bairstow suggests he's an absolutely sound man.
On the other hand Smith, I don't have anything nice to say

 

[KZNSeagull]

In Tests, Duckett averages almost 50, Brook averages over 65.

And Crawley/Duckett is our best opening partnership (avg 50) since Trescothick and Strauss

Woakes is almost CERTAINLY going to be out soon, he’s better off just having a smash can’t defend balls around his ribs

Yup. What we actually need is a few of the other batters to accept a bit more responsibility in terms of their innings. No point trying to change the likes of Brook who last year we all declared a generational talent!

Smith just seems like a weirdo

The daughter of friends of ours in SA went out with Steve Smith for a while - just long enough to get a free trip to Michael Clark's wedding in Bali(?). She didn't have much nice to say about him it must be said.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

This is nerve jangling stuff. They look like taking a wicket every ball and we keep the scoreboard ticking over.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Edging closer?

Is that a Skint shirt that keeps appearing on the telly behind the wicket at Headingly?

That thing he goes on about losing and finding his hands has suddenly taken on a completely different meaning for me.

I thought I saw a Sheff Wed shirt earlier, right area!

Looks like MASSIVE to me
