and with one delivery Matthews looks more threatening that the rest of the pacers

 

[NasserFan207]

Hint, none of them are genuine swing bowlers

I think since the wicket of Latham the bowling has been pretty good, still a bit short but not leaking runs and hitting the same spot more

Their line/length has been decent but yeah, when it comes to bowling swing they are useless

If you can't swing it here you will never swing it

good call mate

They've been okay, I'd like to see their pitch maps though because it feels like they've still yet to hit the right line & length consistently regardless of whether it's swinging much.

 

[hendrix]

He's like a left handed Williamson at the moment, with the same early weakness for airy back foot punches.

Yup.

Same early problems KW had, but it'll be exposed more brutally as an opener. He'll get through it though.

They tend to be rhythm bowlers, Lakmal and Prasad only swing it at their absolute best, like Wagner I guess

 

[Zinzan]

Lol Kane, struggling to get off the mark & then ..bang... he's on 9...just like that.

 

[Blocky]

Kane's looking ugly at the crease at the moment.

He just needs someone to hit him in the jewels to get back on track

 

[Woodster]

Kane's looking ugly at the crease at the moment.

Forward defence looking generally solid and textbook-like, while his straight drive was sumptuous. Decent cover drive there aswell. Temperamentally unflappable despite a slow start.

Steady on, really?

 

[Blocky]

Steady on, really?

He's starting to free up now, but he was very crease bound before and didn't look comfortable with the ball back of a length against him.

Such as the ball that he just edged into his crotch.

 

[YorksLanka]

have been impressed with Pradeep's areas so far, has bowled with decent pace and hopefully he will continue without injury -which is a real challenge for him..

Interested to see if he can maintain his pace throughout the test match, hasn't really been able to do it so far in his career

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I'd really like to see Pradeep go around the wicket to Rudds. He's been getting nice cut into the right handers and away from the lefties.

edit: really?

 

[Maximas]

Deserved wicket, has been the pick of the bowlers IMO so far

 

[BackFootPunch]

Yuck Ruds, what the hell was that?

 

[Blocky]

Please let this be Rutherford's last chance... even when he's set and looking good, he gives away a soft easy dismissal against the run of play.

 

[YorksLanka]

one more before lunch would do me nicely...

 

[Adgey]

Can't really say I'm surprised
