Why would you review that one, that was plumb.

 

Aussies bowlers have the ability to strike back even if they leak runs.

[vvvslaxman]

Imagine what Archer and wood wiill do here against that fragile Aussie line up

[Lord]

is Beau Webster playing?

Yeah its summer there

145 for Starc , this guy was bowling above 150 with ease when he was young. He has been so durable while bowling at such pace.

No ,Green

ENgland bats deep. At some point Starc has to take a break. They will pounce on that. This is a poor bowling line up for Aussies.  . Starc is not the best of trio

Can England even win a match i don't think so

Hope Green bowls phaaast. Ashes should be about pace.

England has Wood, Carse, Archer

 

Aus has 2 trundlers too many

THey can. Batting depth will be handy in Australia as  lower order will be facing tired bowlers

[Vickydev]

Joe must be under lots of pressure...having to prevent Hayden from losing his bet and saving himanity

[putrevus]

Bland has bowled crap.

[maniac]

This Pope has a weird technique like that Pakistani batsman Fawad Alam.

England has actually bazballed Boland 0-29

in 4.

Could have played both instead of the debutant. Aus need batting depth here

They attacked him brutally in England as well.

Perfect strategy to treat Trundlers like him.

Root’s strength in England becomes his weakness in Australia.
