Headingley Test Match

[sinkov]

Another game we've let the Aussies off the hook, Bairstow puts two down, Root puts two down, two of the four were routine, should never have been dropped. Why Bairstow is allowed to continue behind the stumps I have no idea, he's a liability, and whoever decided Brook was a Test No 3, needs to give their head a wobble, he was frozen like a rabbit in the headlights, not a clue.

The Aussies must not be able to believe their luck, it's like Christmas day every day for them.

Absolutely spot on sinkov. Root would do better at 3 with Brook at 4. Wood bowled magnificently and showed what our bowling attack was missing at Edgbaston and Lords.

Brook doesn’t have the cojones for this level of cricket, the Aussies are intimidating the $hit out of him.

We seem to be relying on our skipper to get us out of another hole.
Five wickets down and, unlike England, the Aussies have hung on to the five catches offered.
Perhpas the racist ("stand up if you hate the Aussies") Yorkshire crowd can throw more abuse at the Aussies, it is really making a difference.

Before anyone says anything, if you claim to 'hate' people of a different race and are inciting others to do it, there is only one name for it!

The authorities will be banning booze next. Is it Okay to say I’m not fond of Australian cricket Supersub6? That was a bad call.

I don’t know why we win the toss and put them in to bat. First game, apart from the foolish declaration, we could have set a decent target and won that one. As it is we are constantly chasing targets and coming up short.

[Supersub6]

Interesting sesson since lunch with Mark Wood coming out and belting the ball around before getting out and we have scored 56 runs in 5 overs and the Aussies have dropped two catches.
Broad now gone though to a really good catch by Smith. Interesting game that will not last 5 days.
The Yorkies won't like that because they need the money to pay for all their past misdemeanours.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Another one going down the pan.

Exactly Alf , whilst I’m wandering what the F — we’re doing it’s very entertaining.

Please please please let us us do the convicts

I’m not their biggest fan tbh , enjoyed Bairstow s see you smudger comment on his dismissal.

I think if we can get this test over the line it’s game on - they’re a good side but can’t stand the lot of em.
