2019 3rd Ashes Test 22-27 August Headingley

[HBF]

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

This is how i'm looking at it as well. First day will be huge.

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

Slogging on 24?

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

I don't think Pattinson will play, I reckon he'll be rotated out and siddle or Starc will get the last spot.

If the forecast is right it might be getting our best XI ready for the Oval.

If the forecast is right it might be getting our best XI ready for the Oval.

Perhaps, but if the pitch is juicy we could easily see a result even with rain delays.

 

[Kappa]

Du Plooy is doing damn well against Test quality bowlers

Slogging on 24?

In a pretty meaningless tour game for him. It’s likely he just got out, no demons. It happens to him, sometimes.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Starc has two top order wickets!

But his economy is ****ed again.

Can only go by the shot he played. Was the sort of shot you play in a twenty 20.

 

[Kappa]

Oh God.. Mitch Marsh BoG this tour game.. And an England all rounder just won England the game...

 

[Kappa]

Is it possible to just bowl 4 leg byes for a few overs so we get the chance to bat again?

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Oh God.. Mitch Marsh BoG this tour game.. And an England all rounder just won England the game...

The cycle continues...

Mitch Marsh >>>> Mitchell Starc

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Don't you put that evil on us eddie!

 

[HBF]

Well that was an emphatic win. Bring on Wednesday night!

 

[eddiesmith]

Don't you put that evil on us eddie!

You know you want it, Australia needs an all rounder and there is no one better than Mitch!!!

 

[Eagleboy68]

When is someone going to start the fourth ashes test thread

 

[Crankitup]

Starc has two top order wickets!

But his economy is f’ed again.

Match figures - 7 wickets at an E/R of 3.1.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Yep, not bad against a Div 2 county side.

 

[Crankitup]

Yep, not bad against a Div 2 county side.

He can only play what's on offer. There's not much difference between Division 1 & 2. Several England players have made the Test team playing for 2nd division counties. Labuschagne was playing Division 2. Hasn't hurt him.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Check my comments in the Starc thread.

Got nothing against the man, he has just been inconsistent in the test arena is all.

Starc for Patto wouldn't be the worst change.

Has a habit of not giving a toss when the stakes are low... which is understandable.

Was averaging about 30 in grade cricket while Warner and plenty others were averaging 50+, seems like he saves everything for the real games.

Australia consider Mitchell Marsh for Matthew Wade switch

Matthew Wade could find himself out of the Test side at Old Trafford as Australia ponder adding another right-hander

Can we not?

 

[Gethelred]

Siddle on this tour is averaging 36.4 with a strike rate of 80.4. Dare they bring him back?

If his teammates could catch, he'd be averaging 22 at a strike rate of 46...
