3rd Test England v West Indies at Manchester, July 24-28 2020

[Pommy]

West Indies finished day 2 137/6 trailing by 232. I assume they didn’t have many/any interruptions.

 

[TheParraboy]

The great man Cornwell batting

Beautiful down the ground boundary off Broad, delightful shot
Followed up with a Kallis like forward defensive stoke
Then a nice drive for a couple

 

[TheParraboy]

The big fella out for 10

 

[TheParraboy]

WI all out 197, Poms lead by 172

Broad 6/31

 

[Pommy]

England 388 ahead Windies 10/2 with 2 days left.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Broad needs 1 wicket to reach 500 test wickets

I raced home from a birthday to get a glimpse of him batting... Missus asking me why was cheering at the TV..

Well it was from when I saw this glorious sight, until his ultimate demise..

 

[TheParraboy]

I could have watched him bat all night, pretty good eye and technique and aggressive.
Love to see him in the Big Bash.

Lost interest once he departed..

Would add some starch to the Dragons forward pack.

Hopefully hurricanes will sign him up.

Wade, Rose, Cornwell.

Same here, switched off after his LBW... plumb.

His drive for 4 off Broad was superb. Got the red mist a bit after that carving a few drives at 90 degrees over cover/point. But yeah his technique is very good.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Kemar Roach became the 9th West Indian to reach 200 wickets and the first since Curtly Ambrose in 1994.

A pretty decent effort.

 

[TheParraboy]

Hopefully hurricanes will sign him up.

Wade, Rose, Cornwell.

oh man

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Absolutely pissing down.

 

[Pommy]

Is it the law that a rain delay must result in a replay of Australia vs NZ?

Yes. And it must be a game involving Peter Taylor

 

[AlwaysGreen]

West Indies a day to bat.
England 8 wickets to take.
The trophy at stake.
Will it piss down again?

Probably.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Yes. And it must be a game involving Peter Taylor

I went to school with his nephew. At the time he was towards end of his career circus 91/92. Heaps of freebies.
