The Ashes 2023

Ahahahahaha.... And the Eng attack in the first test match allowed 54 runs courtesy Cummins.

Just now, Lord said:

its not a dead pitch. There's enough bounce and movement.

 

They'll miss Hazelwood though.

 

Starc is not as accurate as Wood. He can be all over the shop.

Look how late he was lol He hardly lifted the bat. But he was still very very late.

Yep England would have 100% won with Wood in the 1st test instead of dibbly dobblers bowling to the tail

[nitinbwj]

Aus need Starc to fire here. Enough bounce. 

[vvvslaxman]

India better groom a genuine raw pace bowler. Bumrah is gone.

he's quick though. Plus left arm angle.

 

If he gets it right can be deadly. Cummins too will be tough to deal

yea. But i have seen him bowling absolute trashy stuff at high pace and getting punished even by tailenders.

[nitinbwj]

You can't survive more than 4-5 overs of sheer pace if you are a no 10 and 11 and not only Aus survived, they scored 54 runs as well.. Ahahahahaha... What braindead selection.

Bumrah even if he comes back won't be the same

 

Siraj is the new leader. Need to groom Prasidh and Umran for SA tour in Dec.

Cummins himself can push himself to bowl faster. But to avoid injuries he is bowling within himself.

I know. He needs to get it right. Maybe bowl short spells and bowl like an ODI

India instead played 38 year olds

[Norman]

Woakes and Wood have schooled Old man Anderson big time here. 

[vvvslaxman]

Green is a faster bowler than Marsh.  So that element will be missed by Australia.

Woakes is a massive upgrade over that old man. Impeccable English lengths.

[nitinbwj]

Loving the hostile crowd. Aus papers added fuel to the fire with all those images . They didn't even spare Rishi Sunak. Poor Carey has to face the music now...

tbf Prasidh is injured and Umran is not a Test bowler yet.

 

Too much risk in WC year.

[vvvslaxman]

If England wins this one we can safely say Anderson career may be over.

Not Umran but Kuldeep Sen and Harshit Rana. Umran is not a test material at this point. Fine for ODIs.
