Quoted from Limerick Mariner


Commentators said it was a tricky one because the ball is wobbling but that was being very kind. It was a regulation one, if he’d dropped that he should’nt be keeping in village cricket



It was a regulation catch I’d be confident of snaffling!

I never like it when we put teams in to bat first.

We will have the worse conditions when we go in as the weather is good today but cloudy with showers the next two days at least.

I can't remember which famous captain said this . If you win the toss in difficult weather conditions you think about putting the other team in THEN bat first. !!!!

We will see at the end of the day whether it was a good decision to put them in or not.

Not sure who originally said it but Sir Geoffrey used to repeat it many times.

Headingley is about the only ground where inserting the opposition is traditionally a regular preference. I’d say bat at OT but it seems it’s not the Bazball way.

A good indication is that Cummins said he’d have bowled too!

Aussies will be the happier.

We need wickets in the next session or they may get away from us.

I’d say at the moment it’s fairly even but these 2 do have the ability to tip it heavily in their favour and get away from us as you say and quickly too!

Close this out quickly now and it will be our day - providing we don’t lose quick wickets.

That’s well played England. A good pitch against that batting line up and I’ll certainly take it.
I fear the weather won’t allow a result but if we can nip them out first thing in morning you never know.
Take a bow Stuart Broad regardless. 600 wow!
