2019 ASHES: 3rd Test Australia v England, Leeds Aug 22-26

[WaznTheGreat]

Game over,we ain't taking these 6 wickets

 

[Tommy Smith]

It's cute that you're all nervous.

I've seen this scenario play out a 100 times in Tests for about 4 wins to the batting side.

 

[tumbidragon]

They're in that space where everything they hit goes to a gap and is runs. f**k

Yep. Bairstow can do no wrong atm.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

That pitch map says it all

 

[undertaker]

You f**king potato Patterson. Peter Shittle extraordinaire, banging it short into the pitch every ball grunting

He thinks he's Maria Sharapova

 

[Jason Maher]

If you can't defend this score you do not deserve to be a test match bowler. Simple as that.

It would literally be a record chase and you wanna blame the bats lmao

Given the huge amount of time left in the game, this wasn't a particularly challenging target if England batted well. We should have made way more runs in our second dig and batted them out of it. We didn't. That is on our ever fragile batting line up.

Take your overly 'can't lose from here' shade n geyyyt out!

 

[TheParraboy]

We have zero chance, best day for batting this test so far

Bowled shit with the new ball was our chance, instead they are scoring runs easier

series 1-1

I'll say it again

It would literally be Englands biggest run chase ever!

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Peter Siddle omission gonna cost us,so much better than Patto

 

[Rocky_Da_Rooster]

U.N has got dis..

140 runs is nothing.

Oz cricket is so shite these days, that's why i hardly watch anymore as well as the riddicious smith/ Warner bans..

 

[Hutty1986]

Yep, i think we're gone

 

[Bazal]

Might be time for Lyon, just to dot them up for a bit. Patto has the yips big time

 

[undertaker]

I think Pattinson/Hazlewood/Cummins need to try the occasional slower ball in the 70-75mph range, such as the one Cummins did to wrap up the 1st test at Edgbaston. Get the batsmen to play the ball a fraction of a second early and a chance for a catch could be on.

The batsmen have got accustomed to their 85-90mph pace. If you can't swing or seam the ball, bowl proper bouncers or get reverse swing, variation of pace is a necessity

 

[tumbidragon]

Get Lyon on ffs! The quicks have lost the plot!

It's funny though cos if you go through who each of the posters support here in rugby league there are deep running mental scars as fans. We know the signs all too well when we see them.

A 6 for 36 collapse incoming in 3.. 2.. 1..

 

[blaza88z]

I don't think the history accounts for this sort of game where England began their chase on day 3 with the pitch still drying out after a stop/start rainy day 1

There's not much going on here off the pitch that England should be worried about, i'd love to be in their position with Buttler and Woakes to come
