Hazlewood is a trundler like Ollie R. He might get bounce but he has been missing all series.

 

much better than Bolund

Brilliant comeback this from England. Marsh onslaught would have taken the wheels out of any other team.

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

 

both are quick but not express like Umran

[Kothili]

Wont be easy against Aussie bowling but Eng have the batting depth to handle it.

What fast bowling does.. Clean up the tail.

Leeds is usually a better fast bowling pitch than Lords and Edgbaston.

 

I know. It used to be even more spicy in the 80s,90s. One of the reason why Vengsarkar's 102 & 61 here is considered one of the greatest knock by an Indian in England. Ball was literally untouchable. Nobody else touched even 50 from both sides.

If Englad get Archer fit again , they have a pretty good chance of challenging Australia in Australia. Maybe add in Stone or Topley and they are sorted out in all aspects with Wood already there.

Aussie bowling is over-rated. Honestly Cummins has become a steady bowler these days. But he is still their best bet. Starc can go either way. He blows hot and cold. They will seriously hope he clicks. If he goes missing they will be up against it.

Andu cried about pitches lol

[Kothili]

Wood should bowl a lot slower than his Aussie mates in the spirit of cricket. lol

[vvvslaxman]

Daniel vettori very under-rated batsman. 

[nitinbwj]

Abe.. Is that Nitin Menon

Isko kisne bhej diya 

[vvvslaxman]

Murphy looks reasonably confident.

[Sgattick10]

Wood is the difference 5fer well deserved.

India backed that washed up Umesh and paid the penalty. England did the same with Anderson.
