Mark Wood was doing it a few months ago in caribbean at 95mph
it is not just about bowling fast. Archer is a kwality bowler too. This was not a quick wicket |

20 Aug 19 20:26 Been some fascinating tales from WD recently about his "glory days". Can't wait to hear the one about how he had to bat out 7 overs against a "highly promising" 12 year old spinner to secure a losing draw for his team and keep his teams hopes of avoiding relegation from the Kent Division V 2nd XI league alive! Kent Courier League 3XL 1984 Whisperingdeath wins Trophy for best bowling performance of the season taking 8-14 v Sheerness Devastating swing and seam makes him unplayable! I'm gonna get you Tim |

I had a dream last night where the scorecard for the forthcoming test was revealed to me, and it's going to be a thriller.
Australia will win the toss and bat. They will proceed to accumulate 401 runs for the loss of nine wickets when they will declare their innings closed. England's fragile batting will result in them being bowled out for just 174, and they will be asked to follow on. Fortunately, significant improvement will be found in the second innings where they will be dismissed for 356. Australia will then be required to score 130 in their second innings to secure an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. A seemingly straightforward task, but England will have other ideas. Jofra Archer will take 8 for 43 from 15.1 overs, with Australia being dismissed for 111 to secure a victory for England by 18 runs. The series will be squared at 1-1, both teams will head off to Manchester where Jimmy Anderson is busily preparing a Lancashire hot-pot. |

Warner and Bancroft will also be dropped for the rest of the Ashes series after it emerges that they backed England at 500/1 during England's second innings |

Last man standing!
Looks like the batsmen are working on their technique against short pitched fast bowling in the nets! Any news on the pitch? I hope it has some life! |

I got an England lay in at 1.69 which I am happy with and a draw back at 8 of which I am not!
Hoping for a Chairman's wicket but even if it is the underlying pitch must be dry I would hazard! |

appears Roy took one to the heed in the nets,Pope being called up but the bad news is he purportedly passed the concussion protocol..can't win 'em all,i guess

Root said he "fully expects" opener Jason Roy to be fit for the match after the Surrey batsman was hit on the head during a net session on Tuesday.
Roy, 29, has passed initial concussion tests but England have called up Surrey team-mate Ollie Pope to be on standby. Pope, who has played two Tests, hit an unbeaten 221 against Hampshire in the County Championship on Wednesday before heading to Leeds. On Roy, Root said: "Obviously there is a huge amount of attention around concussion at the minute. "He has cleared all of the tests absolutely fine until now but there is a period where you have got to be extra cautious. "He will be assessed throughout today and tomorrow morning." Roy has struggled in the series so far, scoring only 40 runs in four innings. England coach Trevor Bayliss said on Tuesday that Roy may be more suited to batting in the middle order but Root wants him to continue as opener. "I obviously think he should open otherwise he'll be batting at four," Root said. "I feel Jason can have a real big impact at the start of an innings. It might not have happened just yet but we fully expect him to go out and do that." Root again chose not to reveal his team for the match, meaning if Roy is fit they could either name an unchanged team or bring in all-rounder Sam Curran. Paine also said he would announce his team at the toss on Thursday, but Australia were "looking at maybe a bowling change" which could see James Pattinson recalled, or fellow fast bowler Mitchell Starc feature for the first time in the series. |

By:
Not sure we've seen a higher draw price between these teams.
|
|
By:
injera , agree we mentioned this last night and i reckon that whoever bats first can survive the 1 st over the odds for draw will tumble, but knowing these two teams we might get a few wickets in 1st over as well
