He's been unlucky and also has had dropped catches. WI one of the worst fielding teams in terms of catches the last few years.I really can't believe Fidel's Test average. Pretty much every time I've seen him bowl he's been outstanding.
Safe to say Athers not in agreement. As close to angry as I've ever heard him.Well yeah, but it's not like he's going to bowl much slower with the older ball. I can see the difference between Bresnan/Onions with the new ball and Bresnan/Onions with the older ball being greater than the same difference with Broad - they move it more.
Swann opening as well, which I actually don't see as a bad move given Smith is opening... but why the **** is Broad opening ahead of Anderson!?!?
And I'd have to agree with him. If they don't trust Onions with the new ball, wtf is he in the side? It's overcast, it's an easy track, and the new ball won't stay new for long. We need to make this session count.Safe to say Athers not in agreement. As close to angry as I've ever heard him.
Well it could be argued that England gifted the West Indies 20 odd runs every innings in the winter by not bringing on Swann on as soon as Smith wandered out.Safe to say Athers not in agreement. As close to angry as I've ever heard him.
That's true, but I don't think it's true to enough of an extent to explain an average of nearly 40.He's been unlucky and also has had dropped catches. WI one of the worst fielding teams in terms of catches the last few years.
WTF is that all about? People trying to be too clever by half.Swann opening as well
There's also the fact that, his debut aside, he'd bowled absolute pies on a regular basis until about 18 months ago. This was partly due to having absolutely no First Class experience when he was picked and partly due to recurring injuries.That's true, but I don't think it's true to enough of an extent to explain an average of nearly 40.
