ziggyram59 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Finished work at 2.00 today and had a fantastic afternoon watching England play Crawley has been incredible and both Ali and Root have backed him up well. Australia look totally bewildered. Be great if Crawley can get another 26 runs for a double century.

sage Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 They are looking weary. Body language looks down. What bad luck. Keep turning the screw lads RadioactiveWaste, Comrade 86, Mr Tibbs and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Some knock that Zak, unlucky to fall so close to 200. Could be an entertaining (even more so) last hour with the big hitters to come. cstand and Anag Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Terrific stuff. Controlled aggression so much better than all-out attack. Duckett a tad unlucky to get a Mitchell Starc special, but the others have been racing along with no fuss at all. Shame Crawley didn't make the double, but given the colour of his cheeks, I'm sure he'll soon be quite pleased to back in the pavillion and supping something cold. One of the best knocks I've seen in years and in him and Duckett, we might just have found another viable opening pair. Nice to see the Aussies congratulating the lad too. Things seem to have calmed down since the last test, with both sides trying to let their cricket do the talking.

SKRam Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I think tomorrow may be a total washout. 200 lead and soon. A little more haste just now, 3 days may be all we get , I’m about 12 miles from OT and there’s plenty of dark stuff around so even today might not be full sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yup, it's the take 10 more wickets aspect that's the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Looking at the weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday I can't see anymore play after today. Declare now and hope overcast conditions enable our bowlers to skittle out the Aussies in 2 and a bit sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hope we don't regret declaring at lunch. The longer we bat the less time there is available to try and get them out - we'll be cursing if the Aussies are hanging on at the end of play this evening.

Anag Ram Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 England will want their bowlers to be able to go full pelt. So it makes sense to get as many runs as possible today and let the bowlers focus on bowling them out to today and on Sunday (assuming the forecast is correct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
