One of the big difference with Starc is his wrist  position. He is not getting the max out of his pace due to this.

This was easily the fastest spell ever bowled in England surpassing Brett Lee...  May goodness  it was thunderbolts one after another.  Never seen something like this tbh.  WTF was that PACE

 

Wood's ball comes at a slightly lower trajectory as he doesn't jump as much as Lee, very skiddy.

Hahaha hahaha...  Indian pans would be cursing him though..  Their beloved saint Gujara battered by a Englishman.  Meltdown would have been epic

Yep.  It is one thing to reach hospital in peace.  Another thing to reach there 'in pieces'

So far Starc is bowling benign stuff

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.

BCCI think tank is grooming Mukesh Kumar, perhaps he can sing too so that makes him a multi dimensional player.

jump does not increase the bowler's height. Wood has higher arm than Brett Lee but Lee was a bit taller.  Release point is important.

Still a fast scoring ground. Every single bowler in England could move the ball. That is not exactly the forte of Austarlian bowlers. They don't even swing like Shardul Thakur. They hit the deck and seam away. Cummins has to have an incredible rhythm

Cummins gets the early breakthrough.  Lets see what's there in store.  Should be an exciting final session.   

[vvvslaxman]

This is why CUmmins is a champion bowler. He is very intelligent mixes length, mixes up pace.

He brings out subtle variation something no other Aussie bowler can match.

Trundling does not mean poor skill. Cummins at the top of his game. let's see how long Wood lasts and keep an eye on his test average and wkts.

Wood is not slingy, Brett lee was.

[vvvslaxman]

Problem with Bumrah he was doing the job of both Cummins and Wood. It took its toll, At times he took care of holding role as well. 

[vvvslaxman]

They must see off every single Cummins spells. He will hurt you real bad.
