2019 3rd Ashes Test 22-27 August Headingley

[PoopingHindi]

Who is in our bowling squad tonight?

surely Siddle gets dropped.
no one can hold a catch off his bowling so there's not much point in him being there.

 

[Hamingja]

There's no reason he can't give advice to whoever actually is captain.

ATM I feel Langer would be making most of the decisions anyway and whoever is captain just oversees it on the field.

 

[deanc]

Pattinson eats one of Siddle’s bananas, tension in the Australian bowling ranks.

That has nothing to do with what I said.

I simply said he didn't cheat and that's true.

Whether we like it or not Smith failed as a leader allowing any of his players to even contemplate such actions in SA.
Border, Waugh and Ponting, as tough and hard as they played, would of just packed Warner's bags and sent him home, even super-bogan Warne would of given them a clip under the ear at the mere suggestion of what they were thinking...

 

[Magma]

i think england will bowl first and use it to get the ball moving and expose our lack of smith. broad into warner and archer bowling short

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Harris for Bancroft, inevitable, but it leaves Warner pretty safe for the series. (Which he probably was regardless of how long the string of single figure scores. He's the one most likely to get a score at some stage, but he's also the one most likely to expose #3 in the opening few minutes.

Siddle is perhaps best suited to Headingley but Pattinson is a good inclusion though and someone had to go out.

England to be unchanged?

 

[frankrizzo]

I would bat first but if you lose the toss and bowl it's no big deal as you should get more cloud cover than the coming days.

 

[Spuddigger]

Please! Somebody tell me why Starc cant get a gig.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Please! Somebody tell me why Starc cant get a gig.

because we have better bowlers for these conditions

 

[Dez!]

Please! Somebody tell me why Starc cant get a gig.

Like has been stated thousands of times, the bowling strategy is about building pressure and limiting boundaries.

Starc bowls wicket balls but it's the rest of the spell that's the problem and he doesn't fit the strategy.

Wouldn't say Warner is safe for the series whilst he's averaging 4.

If he fails in both innings, I reckon he's gorn.

 

[deanc]

Please! Somebody tell me why Starc cant get a gig.

Because his father-in-law is one the worst sport co-panelists ever seen on TV.....

 

[Spuddigger]

Did he say in what way it would change? I didn't see him doing anything differently to any other quick over the past 50 years, just a little quicker than many of them.

Sorry, i tried to listen, but cant understand a word he,s saying.

 

[Gough]

Not a bad toss to lose.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

If there is movement, you want bowlers with control who might use it; not a guy who is odds-on to waste it.
The Oval is probably the only place he should be considered, when the pitvch is more likely to have bounce and less happening sideways.

Wouldn't say Warner is safe for the series whilst he's averaging 4.

If he fails in both innings, I reckon he's gorn.

They won't drop Bancroft and then bring him back that quickly, so to drop Warner they need to create a new #3 and open with Khawaja. He's safe, through lack of options.

 

[Tso1967]

Toss in 10 mins and start in 25 mins

Send the bastard home and give a know name his possie. I like Siddle but Starc will get more wickets.

 

[StFly]

Toss in 10 mins and start in 25 mins

And apparently craps were given in the meantime going by that interview.

 

[HBF]

Toss delayed due to rain, good old English weather strikes again.

Typical.

Hope so I want to see aus bat first

 

[Dez!]

Not in England he won't.

 

[archibald]

Harris a good in. Should have started in Edgbaston

 

[JackOutback]

That has nothing to do with what I said.

I simply said he didn't cheat and that's true.

I was saying it’s an optimistic take because I think it’s almost certainly true he took part in the cheating. As did every other player. He might not have been the one tasked with tampering but everyone in the team is culpable.

 

[JimDocker]

What are the chances of me booking a pilates class to coincide with the start of the test match???

Enjoy the first hour without me

 

[HBF]

Urrrrgggh.... More rain. And would you believe in London it's bursting with sunshine and heading towards 25 degrees!!! FMD!

Imagine the poms, and how much complaining about the heat would be going on over there

 

[Wolfs]

Why? He's 33 and shown nothing at Test level with the bat. Should be the first out the door.

He has done better than Buttler, Roy, and Bairstow. I don't care about age. If you are scoring runs, you should be in.
