Crazy to leave wood out with no archer. Stokes is fucked already. We need a new management team for test cricket. They’re woeful. They get selection wrong match after match after matchdeclared, 473-9.
151 overs in the Australian heat, god knows the openers need to dig in.
I fear the tired English bowling may have detracted from the fact that plenty can happen on this pitch. England became very samey and very ordinary with the ball, Australia will not be like that. This requires a big effort from the openers now, anything around 40 or 50-1 at close will be positive.
Only Broad -- he is the most Aussie like Pom and he can catchIn other words predictable :-)let’s be honest - how many of our team get in the Aussie line up ?
Root
Stokes
Jimmy
Erm erm
All set up for stark. Perfect conditions for himNo Cummins or Hazlewood but I still think we're going to see a masterclass in fast bowling.
