vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 5th test in 6 weeks. Australian bowling has lost all the steam.

Duke is closer to SG ball rather than Kookaburra. Spinners will get purchase on dry flat wickets in England. This one-dimensional thinking of blowing away opposition with pace can only be done when you have the right resources. England has Wood. In terms of raw pace not even Starc is in that territory. Then skillful Woakes for English conditions. They have Broad. Bit of Stokes, Bit of Anderson, Bit of Moeen would do for them
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Occasional balls just roll. If the bowlers keep attacking the stumps one will misbehave

To be honest they were not really giving away. Woakes hit very good channel. Last match as well. It is not like they tried to smash him and get out

Woakes will bowl that channel all day unless he is made to change that line of attack. Edited July 21, 2023 by putrevus
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Australia is never going to be able to set a target to push for win. At best they can draw the test with a bit of help from rain.

vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Hazlewood is coming to party finally with second new ball.
rageaddict Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 England collapsing now. A lead of 200 looks unlikely which was possible few overs ago.

Still possible if Bairstow gets going. Guys like Broad can stick around. Wood is not going to hang around without scoring. Even brief stay from him will push the score

They don't need to Bazball and score 170 in a session , they just needed to play positive cricket. Once Steve Smith gets out Aussies really don't have anyone to stick around for others to play around is another issue with them.
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 There are indentation on the pitches. Root's dismissal was a crazy dismissal. ball literally rolled. Again it is doing the same against Bairstow.
