Right, because there have been no other bowlers who bowl a full length consistently apart from Glenn McGrath. Wasn't McGrath closer to back of a length than full anyway?

My point is more that being remarkably consistent and always getting it in the right area isn't as easy as it might appear. Broad doesn't want to be not causing many problems bowling back of a length rubbish, but getting it on the perfect length all the time isn't that easy. It's what separates the good from the very good.

Yes, thats why my point is that Broad isn't good enough to bowl that perfect back of a length line so he should always err on the full side, but he doesn't. Seems to revert to back of a length.

Good spell from Woakes this.

Smith must look so good in the nets at times. Even in the last Ashes series he played a few incredible looking shots that were hammered straight to fielders.

I remember really early on in a few ODIs he made a few 30(20) at the death playing the most absurd shots like those. One-handed ramp-drives over backward point and the like.

Smith has changed a hell of a lot since the last Ashes in Aus. Fair play to him.

Do you have a sweepstake on the England run rate for the first 20 overs anywhere on here?
