*Official* Fourth Test at Trent Bridge

[morgieb]

Yeah both Starc and Haze, quit going for jaffas

In fairness how would you bowl if you're defending 60?

Obviously the bowling isn't perfect but it's far from our biggest issue.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Feel like I'm repeating myself, but Haze has been terrible to Cook all series. So many leg stump half volleys.

Only seems to get that shape from in line with off-stump, swinging into leg, rather than swinging back into off-stump.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I don't get it. You watch blokes hit a decent length and let the wicket do the work, and you think you actually have to bowl something miraculous to take a wicket.

 

[Riggins]

Feel like I'm repeating myself, but Haze has been terrible to Cook all series. So many leg stump half volleys.

should attack him around the wicket more.

 

[morgieb]

Probably a stupid suggestion but to the left-handers he should try going around the wicket.

EDIT: FFS, Riggins.

 

[Burgey]

What a ****ing disgrace. If any of you ****s comment that Australia bowled poorly and that's why they're behind in this series then you should be killed.

Not worth a squirt of piss.

 

[Spikey]

clarkey will probably drop a catch in this mini session.

Voges is my pick RE dropping an easy chance

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah both Starc and Haze, quit going for jaffas

They have to, though.

 

[Hurricane]

Like his supposed prowess against spin, its one of the greatest myths of this generation.

Another Ashes series lost with him in charge, but heh at least he set some funky fields now and then.

I like his tactics but the biggest thing you can do as a captain is turn up yourself. Not tactics.

 

[Son Of Coco]

They have to, though.

No, they don't.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Cook is an absolute nightmare to bowl to for right armers tbf. Can only really remember him falling to lefties.

 

[Spikey]

This means we don't have to listen to the idiots moan about how KP would have won the Ashes, so this has been a great morning

 

[Midwinter]

Is he learning ?

Hazlewood to Cook, no run, fractionally short on middle, Hazlewood has Cook hopping. But he safely dabs it in front of the covers
1.5

Hazlewood to Cook, no run, pushed full and wide outside off, Cook shoulders arms
1.4

Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and angling away outside off, Cook won't chase those
1.4

Hazlewood to Cook, 1 no ball, full and slanting away outside off, Cook ushers it through to the keeper. No ball called. Big no ball..
1.3

Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and attacking the off stump as Cook's solid forward-defensive push interneves

 

[NUFAN]

I know Starc has gotten Lyth out a few times this series but surely Johnson had to be bowling in these circumstances.

 

[OverratedSanity]

No, they don't.

England won't bat like Australia though.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Obviously the bowling isn't perfect but it's far from our biggest issue.

i never said it was

 

[vic_orthdox]

They have to, though.

The aim has to be to bowl them out for 200, not get a first innings lead.

 

[morgieb]

I'd have opened the bowling with Johnson. Realistically him bowling thunderbolts was the only way to really get to a manageable total.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Cook is an absolute nightmare to bowl to for right armers tbf. Can only really remember him falling to lefties.

and Harris

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So who goes first Clarke or Lehman?
