I'd be quite pleased if we can bat till around tea. At the rate we score that would give us at least parity and probably a decent lead. I would be more concerned that we're out around lunch time.

Re: Ashes third test
Top day at headingley yesterday, good start, dull middle, good end. Could have been better if Bairstow and root had worn their bigger hands. The real question is did I spy dandeclaret on the prawn sandwiches?

Listening to the Wisden cricket podcast last night - England have dropped 14 catches (6 by Bairstow and a missed stumping) - and that's probably the thing more than anything that will decide this series. Bairstow's nickname of Cymbals well and truly earned.

Re: Ashes third test
Should be good batting conditions today;
Hoping we can get to 350 +
Bairstow and Rooty did well last night whilst under the cosh not giving away another wicket
Some big innings from Stokes, Ali & Woakes much needed

So the question is why does he keep getting picked, when he's arguably one of the worst wicketkeepers in test cricket?dandeclaret wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 9:51 amListening to the Wisden cricket podcast last night - England have dropped 14 catches (6 by Bairstow and a missed stumping) - and that's probably the thing more than anything that will decide this series.

Re: Ashes third test
It's not rocket science is it? His ability level is evidently massive, it's just that he's not in form that often. Last year was one of the most impressive summers of test match batting from an individual that I can remember. So, if you take that Duckett and Crawley are going to open, Root is at 4, and Stokes is at 7, then 4 bowlers then it leaves you to pick from Pope, Brook, Bairstow and Foakes to fill 3 places. Who are you dropping? And don't go down the obscure stuff of people who have never opened being able to open... that won't work.

Re: Ashes third test
Runs will be like gold dust on this pitch today... We need to fight for every single run... I'm not sure we're geared up to do that.
Root got a beauty tbf....no complaints there.

Re: Ashes third test
From the BBC:
"I didn't want to be saying this so early but we're told Ollie Robinson will bat if needed today, having gone off with a back spasm yesterday."
Does that mean we could be an extra wicket down if he has to bat like Nathan Lyon?

Good ball, but Root pushed at it. Tough one to receive 2nd ball, he might have played it better later in his innings.

We knew this batting line up was going to be crap before the match even started.
Root and brooks are the only ones with averages above 40

My point remains exactly the same, I expected this done by tomorrow tea. England have made too many mistakes and not capitalised on Autralias. That's throughout the whole series.

Re: Ashes third test
I'm guessing that could be the that drops bairstow, and I can't see a win from this point, game over 3-0 to the aussies. I said at the end of the 2nd test, too many player's treating it like it's just another game, it's the ashes ffs, but 14 dropped catches is never going to win the ashes and we're only in the 3rd test, too many cheap wickets, playing shots we should never be playing at, simply not good enough, time for more big changes.

Keeps coming across when the ball is in-swinging. I guess he’s trying to avoid the edge but he’s mightily close to LBW if he misses.

I know it’s probably counter intuitive but I think stokes and Ali have to go on the attack similar to what Marsh did.
