Didn’t figure him for a new ball bowler but figured his high release might cause problems. Aussies seem better able to leave on length.
Get Wood on from the other end while the ball is hard! |

Asif by magic

By:
It’s line everyone knows come round the wicket to Warner except Woakes!
|
|
By:
good wheels from Woody
|
|
By:
as per tms the conundrum is that ideally you'd use him in very short bursts to keep the pace up but will need Stokes to bowl well to facilitate that..
|
|
By:
Warner looking good already. England really need another wicket
|
|
By:
Labusgagne is a big one he gets in its not good
|
|
By:
130kph from Robinson - not sure they'll be much for that once the balls loses it's hardness and he tends to drop pace in his later spells...
|
|
By:
converts to 80mph in old money for context...
|
|
By:
150 clicks which the speed gun had Woody at in thew last over- an impressive 93mph
|
|
By:
It’s worrying brentford
Woakes with short cr@p, Robinson with low pace short cr@p Stokes plodding in at low 80s Wood will be knackered by 3 oclock... Root and Leach bowling the last hour of tge day most days bowling wise |
|
By:
They might not be able to resist trying to hit Leach out of the attack later...could just help England...
|
|
By:
Theyre waiting for the ball to soften here
They know we havent got real pace other than Wood who is injury prone |
|
By:
would have been nice to see Archer on this as well...tends to take the hand brake off in the warm weather..
|
|
By:
Raw pace is unnerving!
|
|
By:
Theyll start to motor once theyve seen off our initial onslaught
 |
|
By:
Stokes will be crucial. Can’t see us taking 20 wickets without him doing well
|
|
By:
God bless you Stokes! Warner did start well but Woods put him under pressure
Goddam no ball! |
|
By:
England have bowled very well. They are putting up a fight. Good effort.
|
|
By:
yep, have probably deserved a bit better
|
|
By:
Absolutely.
|
|
By:
Bowling in this oppressive heat not easy.
|
|
By:
Rotating well
We need good rotation in this series |
|
By:
It won't be a popular opinion (especially given he bowled Warner off the no ball) but I thought Stokes was very poor and bowled a lot of deliveries that wasted a relatively shiny new ball.
|
|
By:
Wood bowling super quick
Id bring Leach on |
|
By:
bit of a mixed bag from him rob but his prep for this has been a long way from ideal in his defence
|
|
By:
On the whole England have deserved more than 1 wicket. Everyone entitled to an opinion Rob999 but Stokes capable of making something happen and I think he's done OK
|
|
By:
Don't disagree Brentford but I do think that half of his Test wickets come from the fact that he can't bowl two in a row in the same spot and the result is that the batsman has no clue what is coming.
He nearly had two wickets in that last over as a result of that 'tactic' with the wide half volley that Warner nearly dragged on and the short long hop that Marnus nearly pulled to Pope. Then again, who am I to say that the random approach isn't a genuine tactic... |
|
By:
England have definitely deserved more than one wicket. Can't recall as many play and misses in a session in quite a while.
|
|
By:
Stokes is decent enough when it comes to rotating
|
|
By:
problems mounting pretty rapidly for Eng
|
|
By:
Id be getting him off after this over mind
|
|
By:
bowls some filth and then that
 |
|
By:
Leach on now
But we dont have great options as been said Cant keep bowling Wood despite the temptation |
|
By:
Then he bowls an absolute peach. I'm telling you, drawing them into a false sense of security with three or four deliveries scattered here there and everywhere is the tactic.
|
|
By:
how many overs can he bowl going to be an issue as well...hardly want to run him into the ground...Woody needs to be manged as well..
lot on Leach being able to hold the scoring at least... |
|
By:
In fairness I suspect Wood has been told in advance that he ain't playing the next Test
|
|
By:
I'm sure that's right rob but if he starts dipping below 86-87mph bowling longer spells he doesn't offer a huge amount
|
|
By:
Leach's main weapon is going to be what Moeen had for quite some time - The opposition don't rate him.
|
|
By:
They are going after Leach then
