Globe Trotter Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Key is keeping the pressure on Warner, Labuschagne, Smith now and hopefully nipping a couple more quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Think we’ve bowled fine, but my god this is a samey attack. How many right arm fast medium bowlers does it take to bowl out a team in Australia? Edited December 16, 2021 by bearded_red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Patient, clever batting from these two. Hope that ball starts swinging when the sun drops because we don't want to still be bowling at lunch tomorrow. 37° now forecast!!

Wood is only going to play 3 tests probably and otherwise there is a serious lack of pace in this attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 We can't bat, but who else is there? We can't bowl outside of England, leaning on Broad and Anderson, but who else is there? Root is a bad captain, but who else is there? ECB need a serious re-think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'd be interested to know which quick bowlers people would have picked, given that Archer and Stone are injured and Wood can't string back to back matches together.

There are no other serious options… We’ve got Sunday side spinners and an aging pace attack, but at least our batting gets us out of jail… The future looks bleak for English test cricket.

If you use Wood in short spells you could have played him. If he can't play 2 tests together he shouldn't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
