Another enjoyable and enthralling test match.
We should be 2-1 up though. |

By:
superb sport fair play

i have been somewhat critical of McC but misread his modus pensandi
obviously a boxing purist employing the ALI/Foreman rope-a-dope deliberately lose the 1st 2 tests only to come storming back to win the ensuing 3 to make an Ashes victory all the more sweet! |
|
By:
Yup
That is why I love this game. Much better from England. Bazball certainly did for Cummins, very negative fields,. Gave far too many singles through fear of conceding 4’s |

Modus pensandi
 !I like that. Fat fingers! |
|
By:
I'll take the bet loss
Fair play we finally got one done no white wash at least I could have greened but not much as I doubt the Aussies went major short |
|
By:
Time to put Root in as WK in my opinion, just to get Bairstow off it
|
|
By:
Also I doubt Old Trafford will be as lively wicket wise?
Need to get Anderson back in but who to drop? Might be Broads turn to sit out |
|
By:
tongue for robinson?
|
|
By:
Aye
I dont rate Robinson hes so slow its painful 80mph he was bowling at in that second test, medium pace rubbish |
|
By:
Tongue and Anderson in Robinson and Broad out would be my take. They might recall Livingstone to bat at 3 but I would stick Root there.
Great match and next two at OT and The Oval will be too. Only downer is the price of tickets, looked to get a couple for a day at Manchester a few weeks ago, looking at north of £500/pair. No idea what face value is but not paying those rip off prices. |
|
By:
cant see broad being dropped.foakes for bairstow? or give bairstow one more chance?.head looks gone to me
|
|
By:
only thing i can see tickets wise is approx 1200 each with hospitality first 4 days, but premium tickets at £125 for day 5
|
|
By:
beyond obvious that foakes should be recalled and bairstow go back to just batting. really doesn't matter who opens in place of crawley. they aint gonna do much worse
take most of our catches and still every chance we can turn this around. oz heavily reliant on cummins and starc. their 2nd string bowling is very popgun at the moment |
|
By:
the conundrum is,you want a proper keeper in so foulkes goes in.then do you drop the spinner,bairstow,who is out of form but freeing him from keeping might rejuvenate him or drop an opener without having an opener to replace him.
totally agree about aussie bowlers |
|
By:
Well doneEngland. I honestly thought there was no way back from 0-2 but was proved wrong. Not for the first time!
 . This time Brook stepped up and saved the day. The Aussies must be disappointed in their most experienced players after this one. All still to play for. |

What a load of absolute johnnythebull. Rope-a-dope? Unbelievable tosh. yet another clueless,humourless troll pops up from the fetid depths of the BF forum..note to Rentokil..you ain't doing your job properly,innit! |
|
By:
Unchanged
A bit shocked by that as I thought Anderson would defiantly come back in for Woakes Wood had to play as he has venom in his bowling and looks to have rattled a few Aussie batsmen |
|
By:
i think its the squad of 14 thats unchanged not the starting 11.still a poor decision imo.leaves iron palms behind the sticks and the choice of anderson,tongue or robinson as the bowler with broad,wood and woakes.cant see stokes bowling.
|
|
By:
I've read it all now. Rope-A-Dope. Unbelievable drivel.
|
|
By:
Tongue or Anderson will come in for Robinson, who surely they cannot risk. Anderson has the skill and home ground, Tongue as the extra zip.
|
|
By:
Crazy play again from the England women. The need 4 an over so they keep hitting it in the air! I hope they still win but the coaches need the sack unless the players ignored instructions.
|

Christ
About as lively as a morgue Is this supposedly an advert for the women’s game? You’d think there was nobody in the ground |
|
By:
It is too tense to breath. at least Kate Cross kept the ball on the ground and was rewarded with two boundaries. Absolutely no excuse for deliberately hitting the ball in the air since the 20th
over. Unless you hit it for 6 of course. Well done Captain. |
|
By:
Insane chance to take by Cross but got away with it. surely they can get 5 now.
|
|
By:
along the ground that time. best batter in the team apart from Capsey!
|
|
By:
has anderson not got a poor test record at old trafford? or is it other way on?
