3rd Test: England v Pakistan at Southhampton Aug 21-25, 2020

[TheParraboy]

Kicks off tonight 8pm

Hopefully better weather around than the 2nd test...

Day 4 and 5 look like might have rain but the first 3 days should be good.

Now that's I've said that we can watch it rain for 5 days.

 

[TheParraboy]

Poms won toss and will bat

*rain delaying the match..

 

[TheParraboy]

Poms 1/20

Burns out for 6

 

[Bazal]

Man I would love to stay in that Hilton during a match....

 

[Pommy]

Stumps, England 332/4 Crawley 171, Butler 87 both not out.
If we can get another 100 in this innings I reckon Pakistan are done and will be praying for rain.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

171 runs in a day is nothing to sneeze at. Has the potential to score a real big score does Creepy Crawley.

If these two get on with it day 2 then they can bat Pakistan out of the game and series.

His old man had talent but was as soft as a baby's backside. Like a lot of those 90's pommy batsman.

 

[Pommy]

Good chance there will be no play Monday and Tuesday so England should try and pile the runs on fast and try to bowl them out twice in the next two days.
Most likely another draw due to weather.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Can't beat a balmy English summer

[Pommy]

f**king lashing down.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Imagine if this weather had smashed the Ashes last year. And the World Cup.

 

[Pommy]

Imagine if this weather had smashed the Ashes last year. And the World Cup.

From what I’ve been told the weathers been decent, everyone spent lockdown sat in their gardens pissed up.
Just the last couple of weeks that have been bad.

 

[TheParraboy]

Poms playing for a draw?

still batting at 7/583

 

[TheParraboy]

And the declaration comes

8/583

 

[Pennies]

His old man had talent but was as soft as a baby's backside. Like a lot of those 90's pommy batsman.

Zac Crawley is no relation to John Crawley.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pakistan 3/24 with Anderson taking all 3.

Crawley's 267 is the 7th highest first century ever.


Highest first century ever is Sobers 365* which was the highest test score ever until Lara broke it.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Interestingly (debatable) Crawley name is just Zak, not Zachary and no middle name.

What a minimalist.

 

[hineyrulz]

Zac Crawley is no relation to John Crawley.

That must be why he can play.
