2019 3rd Ashes Test 22-27 August Headingley

[Van_Dyke]

Would have done so again in 2015, but the ECB knew their mob couldn't hack a 4 month tour down under so pressed for the 14/15 ashes to move a year earlier and got their way.

this, we got the double ashes in one year because it would be unreasonable to have a team come out for the ashes and stay for the World Cup. be nice if they didn’t forget about it

Mitch marsh making one decent score..........surely we wouldn’t?.......couldn’t?........could we?

Well he's a good W.A boy...I wouldn't put anything past langer

The only players coming into the side are Labuschagne and perhaps Starc. There’s no way they’re going to bring marsh in as well after we’ve basically beaten England twice already.

Could have sworn Labuschagne played. I dunno but I’d give serious consideration into bringing the bloke Smith in

 

[Cleavy]

I can see the selectors picking Smith and Starc to come in for Wade and Pattinson.

Jimmy Anderson ruled out of the series, what a surprise.

Jimmy Anderson ruled out of fourth Test and rest of Ashes series

Jimmy Anderson has been ruled out of the rest of the Ashes after the England bowler felt pain in his right calf playing for Lancashire second XI on Thursday

www.theguardian.com

Probably a good thing for England that Anderson has been ruled out, would have been a big risk to take him into a test so soon after a calf injury.

On top of that he would further weaken their batting if he replaced Woakes.

Pretty sure the glut of Ashes was to do with catching up after holding them off for the 2012 Olympics. Don’t think it had anything to do with the World Cup.

Forecast for Manchester is pretty grim.

Probably just means we'll bat in the rain yet again.

 

[HBF]

Big blow for Smith not to get some runs.

A hundred here would of put some fear in the English.

They already fear Smith big time.

They already fear Smith big time.

I'm still pissed that smith got out for 92 in his last innings. 3 centuries in 3 innings would have been a rare feat. Hopefully he comes back and ****ing crushes them in the next 2 tests.

Had a quick look at the Manchester weather, rain is forecast 4 days out of 5.

Could make the Oval Test pretty bloody tasty.

Never understood why the poms don't build a stadium with a closable roof like docklands.

After the success of the Amazing Adelaide DVD, I can’t wait for Horrible Headingley.

Kind of worries me a bit. We’d go from having two free hits to retain the Ashes to one, but I guess we’d only have to draw the last one.

After injuring him in the 2nd test and him getting out cheaply in the tour match I think some of that fear will be gone for now.

Probably bad new for us.. 2 tests to get 1 win is much better than a sudden death last Test.

I doubt it; their bowlers have still shown very little ability to get him out. Even when they injured him, he was on his way to another ton.

I can see the selectors picking Smith and Starc to come in for Wade and Pattinson.

That's probably most likely based on what's happened in the tour game.

If I was an English bowler I'd take a lot of confidence him struggling in the tour match. Potentially still not back to his best or struggling mentally

Tim Paine and Matt Wade play with Archer at the Hobart Hurricanes . t20 george Bailey
in fact Hobart hurricanes last 2 yrs . gave him the START in international cricket

I know we all love the Big Bash League to death, but let's not get carried away and refer to it as "international cricket".

 

[Voice of the G]

Had a quick look at the Manchester weather, rain is forecast 4 days out of 5.

With that weather forcast I wonder whether Siddle should be considered.

 

[Keg on legs]

The 4th test is gonna be fascinating. I get the sense the poms have played their GF and might find it hard to back it up. But, the question also exists whether we are broken or can we bounce back?

Gonna be a great 1st session

He got himself out in the tour match. Caught on the boundary slogging.
