Night everyone. Should be a beaut tomorrow. We're all hoping for a dry day, albeit for differing reasons. See you then.
Still in it. Just. The longer these two go though, the more the Aussies will be ****ting themselves. How about Stokes and Anderson doing a Headingley 2019?
I'd rather have Leach lol ! We need a ****ing miracle. Not knly do we need these 2 to put on another 150 odd we need Bairstow to smash a quick 80 ! Those last 4 won't score 20 between them. Hope is still flickering in the distance but don't honestly expect it to last till lunch. Come on Stokes, once more unto the breach my friend !
Aussie women win off penultimate delivery, this is getting very painful all round now. So close again, but the cigar ship has sold out
Have a look at this slow motion clip of the supposed drop catch. He holds it for much longer that your typical catcher who then flings the ball away even before its given out. Methinks in all fairness its a genuine catch, regardless of which team caught it. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricke...press-for-lord-s-victory-20230702-p5dl2c.html
The slow motion is misleading though. I called it as soon as I saw the replay. You can't take a catch and then drag the ball along the ground. I agree that sometimes players throw the ball up too quickly following a catch. It won't affect anything, don't worry. We'll be done by lunch.
