3rd Ashes Test - Headingley!

After being embarrased and bowled out for 170 odd, bowlers doing a great job getting us back in the game with the poms currently at 3/24.

I think Stokes is key to remove because once he gets his eye in, he scores rapidly.

C'mon Aussies!!!

  • Poms 6/53. If we can bowl them out quickly we'll take a handy 70-80 run lead which is funny.

  • Just goes to show you never know if a total is good until the second team bats.. 

  • True the be told, you have 2 teams that can't bat to save their lives.

    The batting averages of both teams are embarrsing bar Smith who's the only world class batsmen out there.

    I like the look of Labuschagne. 2 innings with consecutive 50's is to be admired.

  • Taking the piss out of a Pommie mate :)3443674804?profile=RESIZE_710x

  • The way things are going, there might be a result on day 2

  • This is what short form cricket does to the standard of test batting.

    It has been brewing for a while.

    • Excellent point,  hence  the topsy turvy form for top order  batsmen  , and to  lesser extent  musical chairs with  selection.  Its ! its ! ....  just  not  cricket , for  crying out loud  .

    • A bit of that but also they have been screwing around with the Duke's ball. It has a bigger seam not which gives it more movement of the wicket. I read that county batsman in general have been struggling with it the last 2 years.

      Goes to show how great a batsman Steve Smith is. Labuschagne is doing a marvellous job too. We're unearthern it seems a batsman for the future. I'd probably drop Khawaja next Test for Smith. I'd to the same with Paine after the Ashes. He's a horrid batsman. Steve Smith should get back the captaincy in December.

  • Agree about paine.  Gives us nothing in Batting.  Average on Gloves and decent captain.  SMITH best player by far...

  • What a bunch of useless c*nts. How the fuck do you lose from their position? Lyon drops the ball to make the run out but previously Paine threw a willy-nilly review with the ball clearly going down legside to a Cummins ball. Stokes would have been LBW if we still had a review at hand.

    Ashes are gone. No chance of coming back from today.
