Bazoaxe Jul 2023 9:14pm, 4 Jul 2023 25,163 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Bit of a risk with brook at 3 although root the other option and you prefer him at 4. Woakes does surprise me and I was looking forward to seeing Anderson. Albeit it does appear he is eithervpast it or conditions don’t suit. Or both. I cannot decide who I want to see bat first. Weather looks like I will see two full days play.

SPR Jul 2023 9:19pm, 4 Jul 2023 41,356 posts	Quote Pin SPR What days are you going Baz? Conditions that suit Woakes should suit Anderson but Woakes is extra batting given they are going with 6 specialist batters rather than the 7 they've had so far.

HappyG(rrr) Jul 2023 11:03am, 5 Jul 2023 47,152 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) I can never remember what a draw is. Is it effectively when they run out of time? Looking forward to seeing if England can get back into it. Been amazing so far - just a highlights watcher here. Enjoy trip Bazo. G
um Jul 2023 11:11am, 5 Jul 2023 7,518 posts	Quote Pin um HappyG - yes, various ways of describing it, but 'run out of time' before the match is finished is a decent way to describe it. (whether pure time, lack of wickets falling, slowness or weather related). Even if one side has a mountain to climb. Or not. Ties are when the match finishes and the scores are level. I think this one is the only 'tie' that is a draw espncricinfo.com
