England cricket

[desperado]

Last throw of the dice for the Aussies here, it would be very unusual if we get these without losing at least another wicket!

[superjohnmcginlay]

That’s a great win. 

[Mounts Kipper]

Thank fuck for that. 🏏

Tremendous. 

A few too many doubters. 😁

[L/H White]

Knew we'd do it

Are you going to now treat us to repeated "4-1" posts?

Oh there it is! 🤣 61% England win… I’m not sure about that!

I take it all back 😂

Horribly brilliant that 😀

Glad there's a full week and a bit off now, regroup and go again. If we manage to tie it at 2-2 that last test could be one for the ages.

Question: does Jimmy get picked for OT.

Not for me.

Tough one.

I'd say no.

Aye, no room for sentiment, unless we were 3 up.

No, 3-1. We will have rain.

Is Robinson going to recover?

Given the amount of short bowling being used and the fact that neither Anderson nor the new lad prefer that, then maybe another?

Just not giving Anderson the maximum opportunity to utilise his skills, but saying that, he didn't seem properly sharp in the first two games when bowling up top.

It is a really tough one. Good decision to have.

Because I suspect Robinson might need resting, I think Anderson (although could be Tongue) to come in.

And that’s not sentiment based (although what a swansong it would be).

His knowledge of OT and his ability to seam the ball straight up would be a massive asset.

Way off the mark with your predictions so far, hope it continues 👍🤣

BTW the heavens have just opened in Leeds. The convicts will be throughly pissed off.

Fountain of all knowledge to say you think that Anderson will come in on his home ground, after about 10 days rest 🙄

Well the previous comments before mine all predicted he won’t play, so it’s hardly predicting the obvious. Nice to see you agree with me 😊

Kinell, it's an opinion, and could well be right.

You a bit pissed off because England won?
