Pretty sure Pollcok played a lot at #8
And he last played ages ago

I can't think of anyone either. Bhuvi is a pretty solid no.8 when he plays. Ali is another one obviously but he's looser than Cummins imo. Mark Craig maybe?

Ashwin and Philander bat a lot at 8 and are solid. England also have the likes of Woakes and Curran.

We talking technique though. Ashwin is loose, like a discount Ian Bell. I can't really recall how Philander or Woakes bat atm.

How long do you reckon Ashwon would have lasted copping that barrage Cummins did this arvo?

He’s just got a really simple, old fashioned technique off both feet. Gets side on and plays straight, handles the short stuff and uses his reach against spinners. Has a good temperament too. Has that in common with Ashwin I suppose.

Meredith the biggest wtf out of that. Zampa is probably the second best first class spinner so I can kinda understand that. Short is a bit of a wtf as well.

Really does hate Starc doesn’t he? Great idea to replace two bowlers when the most they’ve conceded all series is 450 and that with four dropped catches.

Yeah I just sort of collated it out of the names Shane Warne was throwing up. It was actually Wade that he first mentioned, not Maxwell.
