I've got no stats to back this up, but over the years (and I'm talking about the last thirty or so) I have the strong impression that we drop more catches against the Aussies than any other team! It's probably false.
But the impression is a lasting one mainly, I think, because when we drop catches against other teams, they don't necessarily go on to punish us. But the number of times I've seen us drop Australian batsman when they weren't even into double figures who then went on to make half-centuries and centuries — well, as I say, it's a strong and extremely irritating impression. And I'm using the politest language I can.

I have a strong feeling your right.

Surely Moeen Ali deserves an over or two while the ball is still hard & the fact there’s two attacking batsmen at the crease who will look to take him on
We play them more than anyone else so I wouldn't be surprised.I've got no stats to back this up, but over the years (and I'm talking about the last thirty or so) I have the strong impression that we drop more catches against the Aussies than any other team! It's probably false.

200-4 by tea.
We got Warner, Khawaja, Smith and Labushagne out for 60 runs combined and people are still bitching.
Yeah Mitch Marsh might hit a few before he goes, but anything he can do Woakes, Stokes, Ali & Bairstow can do too.
