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

[Pommy]

Well the weather can’t take a series win off us. Just makes Pakistan’s mistake of taking their foot off the pedal in game 1 even worse now.

 

[Pommy]

I think there was less than 2 overs played, Anderson got a wicket and then the rain came. 30-4

 

[TheParraboy]

Warne suggested Anderson can play another 3-4 years for England...In England only
and be used as a bowling coach overseas to keep fit

I know why he is paid the big bucks now...

 

[Pommy]

Pakistan all out for 273, follow on enforced, trail by 310.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Azhar Ali with 141.

Anderson the only person in the world wishing that Covid lasts 10 years so he can play in England exclusively

 

[Bazal]

Captain's knock from Azhar.

A bit of a forgotten cricketer IMO. He's been an excellent player in a tough decade or so for Pakistan

 

[jargan83]

Pakistan 0/41 - rain stopped play a while ago, colour me surprised.

 

[Pommy]

Looks set for a draw 100/2, weather is supposed to be shite most of the day I believe.

Pakistan 0/41 - rain stopped play a while ago, colour me surprised.

England is the Victoria of Europe.

Jimmy on 599..

Jimmy on 599..

Apparently today is expected to be a total wash out, stranding Jimmy on 599 until next year.

Jimmy on 599..

Looking at the ICC WTC schedule, England's next test series are against Sri Lanka/India in January/February 2021.

Today might be Jimmy's last chance (and final test match) to get to 600, as there's no guarantee that tour to the subcontinent early next year will go ahead, meaning by the time tests matches in England come around in June or July, he will be nearly 39.

 

[undertaker]

There it is! 600!

 

[hineyrulz]

There it is! 600!

Booooooooooo!!!!

 

[jargan83]

Booooooooooo!!!!

Seconded

 

[TheParraboy]

Pretty good effort for a fast bowler.

[Twizzle]

yeh, given most of them were on his home ground soft pitches, its still a decent effort

 

[Bazal]

Longevity like that is always impressive. 156 tests from a fast bowler?

He's a home deck hero and a massive knob end but he deserves to be talked about in some pretty high level company regardless.

 

[hineyrulz]

He’s no Martin Bicknell but he’s ok.
