2019 3rd Ashes Test 22-27 August Headingley

Well, what can you say about that...

Amazing innings from Stokes, England had no right to win from that position. Incredible drama in that second last over, Test cricket at it's most gripping.

That was one of the all-time great Test matches, the fact we lost doesn't change that.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Yep Paine has to go, that was dead set terrible. The field placing, bowling choice, direction to tail enders at the death all terrible. He choked.

 

[cartwright]

Dropped, missed run out, that ******* stupid review & pathetic umpiring.

Had our chances

 

[maryjames]

Paine cost us with his dumb review even though Cummins said no

Exactly Cummins said no.

 

[theyellowsash]

YORK THE BASTARD

Our bowlers have never heard of bowling fuller than a good length

 

[frankrizzo]

Surely biggest choke in our history?

missed catches awful review duffed run out, this will rip the team apart you cant come back from this mid tour.

Why? Umpires make mistakes. Gaffney made as many. I personally think Hawkeye was wrong - how can the ball spin that much in the are after it hit the pad? You look at the angle it went and the different after it hit the pad. It clipped the front pad but Hawkeye didn't think it did so it took into account the angle after that as "spin"

it just missed the front pad, simple as that. it's an off spinner, it spins from leg-to-off for a left-hander. just take it as the truth ffs. it was a s**t decision

 

[Cotchin 9]

THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST WINNABLE TESTS WE GET IN A LONG TIME AND WE JUST PISSED IT DOWN THE DRAIN!

 

[tandino]

The whole thing was mindless

 

[giggler99]

One of the biggest chokes in sport i’ve ever witness. Truly horrible.

Are we just ignoring Wilson's atrocious first Test umpiring? The guy is horrendous, goes to water and starts making his calls based off body language and crowd reaction.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The biggest bottling of all goes to Joel Wilson for not giving an absolutely plumb LBW decision.

Second place to Nathan Lyon who can't catch.

Third place to Marcus Harris who decides to throw to the bowlers end from fine leg.

 

[Plugger35]

One of the best test innings from Stokes you will ever see, up there with Botham's innings at Headingly in 1981, will become the stuff of legend.

Keeps the series interesting as well.

 

[Crashy]

stokes was no perera

 

[Dogsman16]

Its the worst loss in test history.

Bowled them out for 67, had them on the ropes. Series to be won.

AND WE ******* CHOKE.

 

[Kappa]

Never seen a team lose the plot so much and choke so many times in a sporting game.

Hang your head in shame Tim Paine, completely ruined your legacy with that display.

 

[PhatBoy]

Stokes joins the top tier of allrounders in cricketing folklore with that and his bowling yesterday.

He’s colossal. I started watching cricket at the arse end of the big four all rounders. Been lucky enough to see Kallis big f*** me this guy is good. And he’s got balls bigger than just about any player going around. It’s one thing playing well when it matters - he’s in the rare group that actually get better when it counts

 

[ams4crows]

That is the best innings in the history of cricket by stokes

 

[Ando727]

Just so you all know, this is what it feels like to support the Melbourne Football Club...

 

[Mad_Hatter]

wilson let the pressure get to him, whatever
Paine knew that was not out but burned our last ******* review anyway, save it for the lb and we win the ashes, lyon not nuffy fluff a simple ******* run out and we win the ashes.
That's where we lost it.
Paine needs to * off, he's a s**t keeper, a s**t captain and a s**t batsmen

 

[ep2018]

 

[maryjames]

I’ll forget this ever happened in about 20 hours lol

 

[Kuuz]

Paine can * right off.

I am absolutely furious at his idiocy.

Completely panicked. Not deserving of Australian captaincy and should be forgotton from the records.

 

[Scorpus]

How many yorkers did we bowl to their tail enders?

Would have been single digits
