James Anderson warns England's seamers not to expect too much from pink ball

 

 

 

 

[Adamant]

In pink ball matches Anderson himself is the second biggest match winner with Starc being number one 

 

This is the best chance for England to win a match in Aus, Smith isn't batting at the level he used to, Warner won't do much if the ball swings (which it will). 

 

No need of a spinner in England's side. 

 

England need to go with an attack of - 

 

1 Anderson 

2.Broad

3.Woakes

4.Wood

 

They will give tough competition to Australias bowling lineup. 

 

Labuschagne, according to me is the biggest threat. 

[vvvslaxman]

The thing about Pink ball Test is , it is important WHEN you bowl.  During the day or during the night. It is a big factor.

[Majestic]

Yeah, has to be four pacers. Not too sure of Wood. Might well go with Robinson and give Wood a rest for red ball wickets. Anderson and Broad both should be back.

Wood is not there in 12 man squad.

 

It'll be Anderson, broad, woakes and Robinson

[Serpico]

Excited about Broad vs Warner 

 

Can he take revenge for last series humiliation?

Wood is not a fully developed fast bowler yet. He got pace. He is yet to work on setting up batsmen by mixing up deliveries. Both broad and anderson are good at that. Any chance England has a crack at this Australian side under lights they will take it gleefully.

[Lone Wolf]

Australia is undefeated in D/N tests..  Although Anderson broad will narrow the gap in bowling department in this game but England's batting is just plain n simple much much inferior to Australia. 

Hazelwood is a big loss..  He ran through us in 36 AO pink ball test.  Eager to see how Jhye  turns up.  He should get the new ball with Starc. 

[Serpico]

Last time Jimmy ran through their side in second innings with oink ball. However their batting is even worse than last time

finally some actual cricket

Cummins may be ruled out due to COVID close contact.  I think this is just ICC trying to make a match of it instead of the expected Aussie rout.

 

Cheating ass poms.

[diga]

Wow ... Smith comes back as captain by hook or crook

No no no. This is cheating. Bullshit. I don't like this. No Hazel. Now no Cummins.

[Serpico]

This is not a coincidence. He's the chosen one 

 

 

 

[Nikola]

No cummins & hazlewood is big blow for Aussies. Two are best bowlers by some distance. England has really impressive attack for this match. Gonna be close & exciting match.

[Chalks]

Cloudless sky, brown pitch...and England are playing four seamers (five if you count Stokes), and no specialist spinner.

 

Is Root channelling King Chokohli?

[SRT100]

Absolute chaos in Australia with Cummins and Hazlewood OUT.

[SRT100]

Australia will still win.

So Cummins out deemed a close contact of a covidin. If same rule was applied, 8-10 Indian players would have been deemed the close contacts, hence, not able to field the team for fourth test. Many didn't get this simple thing.

This isn't an ICC tournament. Rules are set by respective cricket boards here, not ICC.
