In comparison sky commentary and in particular Shane Warne was quite complimentary about denly’s bowling and said he was looking dangerous but naturally bowled a few loose ones since he’s a part time spinner2

Btw @Addickted2TheReds will I have the pleasure of your opposition again in ten or so minutes?0

And there is no greater compliment for a leg spinner than that!kentaddick said:In comparison sky commentary and in particular Shane Warner was quite complimentary about denly’s bowling and said he was looking dangerous but naturally bowled a few loose ones since he’s a part time spinner
He's was only bowling because Ali was bowling puff.
Yet the BBC were saying it was ridiculous that Denly was bowling instead of Ali to Wade.

Yes, England could chase anything up to 280, or beyond. Although it would be a huge surprise - and massive achievement - if they were to win with a target at the high end of that range.soapboxsam said:Question to the crickets fans on CL.
From what you have seen over this test and knowing India's inability to chase about 180 odd last year at Edgbaston in 4th innings.
Can England score 180 to 280 to win or draw depending on time and weather.
I await the predictions from the various experts on here !
The reasons are that the pitch is looking pretty flat for the seamers, the last three sessions have only seen two wickets per session and that we have have some effective players of spin who would be able to bat in an aggressive, clear-headed way if set a target.
My prediction: if we start day five no wickets down, we win.
(But I am not claiming to be an expert - I will leave that to others).0 -
I swerved that and will be going to the Kent game down the road!Leuth said:Btw @Addickted2TheReds will I have the pleasure of your opposition again in ten or so minutes?
Will likely head back to Foxgrove after that.
@PaddyP17 you playing?0 -
Paddy plays for the Waggoners on a Sunday! I don't even know what their whole deal is tbh0

I'd tell you but his old man might read it... :-)1

250 should be chaseable, depends how Lyon bowls, anything more than that will be a hard ask.0
-
It's probably some sordid drinking thing. Far too irresponsible for me to even think about tbh0

That bloody Smith is one ugly cricketer, in looks & style but he certainly knows how to score runs.1

Woakes well underused .. held back as a result of the Anderson injury perhaps ?0

If you saw it with your own eyes then I accept that 100%.Covered End said:
NB it wasn't fake news because Sky showed him charging in full pace, which I saw.soapboxsam said:Covered End said:I have to say watching Anderson bat, I'm not expecting him to bowl.
Where ever you read or heard Jimmy was bowling flat out was fake news because I heard on the radio someone say gingerly before he came into bat. This could yet be one of the worst calls when Anderson and the fitness coaches gave the green light.
I'm convinced they score 150 in their 1st innings if a fit Anderson or 4th seamer was available when they were 8 down for 120 odd.
He broke down again subsequently.
Unfortunately the analyst on the radio must've seen the following ball when Jimmy was half paced.1 -
"When Steve Smith gets to 140, he'll have got more Test runs in the past 16 months than Moeen Ali - which is impressive as this is his fourth day of Test cricket in that period."5

We'll need to start praying for some rain soon1

What's the betting when we bat this wicket will start looking like a minefield.0

And to think we had them 122/8 on day 1....0

And 75 for 3 in this innings.Chef_addick said:And to think we had them 122/8 on day 1....
Credit where it's due Smith kept them in the match and now baring rain he is winning them the match.0 -
Ali is bowling dog shite. On a wicket that is turning, he really should have put their batsmen under much more pressure than he has. Would like him dropped for the next test.0
-
Aussies building quite a lead now. Think a draw or England loss is most likely result now0

Wilson now 5 -3 up on wrong decisions.

Another really poor umpiring decision. Obvious that wasn't out.1

Smith out!1

Smith obviously has a problem in the 140s1

And a fit Anderson to get them out for 150.Chef_addick said:And to think we had them 122/8 on day 1....
If it had been a new injury then that's fair enough but how the fucx did the experience of Anderson not feel a twinge in warm up ?
Anyone know why Woakes didn't bowl this morning ?
Smith has only got out in this match when it's benefits the Aussies. They feel they have enough already.0 -
Found his weakness... wait until he makes 140 and then... ohCafc43v3r said:Smith obviously has a problem in the 140s1 -
Too little too late unfortunately.
This will come down to whether England can bat 3/4 sessions on a turning wicket against a class spinner in Lyons and save the game.
I don't think we can.0 -
Do we actually want to bowl them out now or hope they bat on for too long and we get the draw?0

Just to clarify I mean three or four sessions not three quarters of a session.LenGlover said:Too little too late unfortunately.

We might just about manage three quarters of a session...4
