coxyhog Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Well done Stuart Broad on reaching 600 tests wickets. Pity Anderson hasn't pitched in,I can't understand why Tongue is being overlooked,he was good in his only test so far & Anderson has been crap. Marsh on 34no,he could take the game away from England here(& the Ashes). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get them all out quickly tonight, a day of bazball tomorrow could be interesting with the forecast as it is 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is ''Old Trafford'' not regarded as Anderson's home venue, i think he's been included because of that and the fact his Ashes home career is basically over with the next home series in 2027, but i could be wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 We did well to limit that line up to 317 but I think the weather will dictate a draw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit disappointed we didn't push on in the last hour to make a 3 figure lead overnight, but let's hope the weather plays fair over the weekend 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Given the weather forecast I was certain that with even a 50 run lead they would declare & have half an hour to try to knock one or two over before close.Doesn't matter whether we lose or draw the only result that counts is a win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder if we might do that. However, I would have preferred to slog play bazball hard for the last hour (when Brook and Stokes seemed to play for the close of play), then continue slogging attacking tomorrow morning. If the weather favoured bowling tomorrow morning, slog attack for an hour, get a 200 lead, declare and try to bowl them out again before the rain comes... if it favours batting then bat until lunch..... As you say, only a win will do, and if a day is lost to rain, we need a lead and get them in again 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 From the bbc ... Mark Wood and Chris Woakes have taken a combined 23 wickets at an average of 17 since coming back into the side at Headingley. If only they could stay fit... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
