glynriley Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 How come they're here in 2015? shouldn't it be 2017? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Ashes_series Squad for third test announced this morning. Finn and Onions are out, Taylor, Panesar and Tremlett in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/23481370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Ashes_series Squad for third test announced this morning. Finn and Onions are out, Taylor, Panesar and Tremlett in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/23481370 I am surprised that Panesar is in unless Swann has an injury. I can't see them playing two spinners when Root is an able 2nd option. Taylor has done himself no harm with his performance today. Would love to see Tremlett in for Bresnan but cannot see it happening this test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can afford the luxury of an experiment or two i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talk Of The Town Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Warney says the old Trafford pitch will be a Bunsen burner but I still think we will use Root as our 2nd spinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East end Forever Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have my ticket for sunday at old Trafford this is my first cricket match and what a match to go see I really cant wait but hope the weather is nice and I get to see us play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmissionImpossible Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Expect England to go in with the same team as the previous Test Match unless Pietersen is injured but I cant see how a thigh strain would rule him out. Australia on the other hand could make a few changes. Starc for Pattinson would be my first change and Faulkner for Hughes/Smith but they could make lots. Like the look of Jackson Bird and have a sneaking feeling they will try to get Warner in. Perhaps for Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sure it will be unchanged. Would love Tremlett to get a go on that pitch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Was it the right decision? on radio saying nothing was on hotspot? Presently listening to TMS, and sounds like another shocker for DRS re Khawaja. That said, I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Was it the right decision? on radio saying nothing was on hotspot? Clearly not out, just love how even when the Aussies use the review system properly they still get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm wondering if ICC has told 3rd umpires not to be too ready to overturn decisions. That was as clear-cut a not out as you will ever see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 As the standing umpire those decisions were the hardest I ever had to make; if you're doing it by ear, bat on pad can sound very much like bat on ball. For the 3rd umpire, with all the replays, it should have been a doddle. The Aussie manager isn't known for his self-restraint, so the outcome should be interesting.

Agree, even just umpiring my club's first team bowlers are quick enough to make umpiring difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalky Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Anyone got tickets for any of the 5 days? Looks like a great venue - good start by Oz - always confident we can skittle them out quickly though. I've not got Sky - how's Anderson bowling?

Pretty sure he hasn't a good record at OT which is strnage with it being his home ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
