I thought Pattinson was the new Harris.

He's the new Brett Schultz.

Pattinson is the new Pattinson.

(Harris is definitely the bowler he should aim to model his bowling on, but idk if Pattinson has quite the same skill wrt wrist position)

lol did he snick that

lol did he snick that

I think he did lol

This just occurred to me: parallels between Anderson and Harris in 2015, anyone? Gun bowler approaching the end of his career, questions surrounding injury, a belief that should he be fit that he'll be vital, and then...

At least Anderson actually bowled a ball.....

But yeah, I can see that.

 

[Spikey]

I think he did lol

he definitely deserved to get out

Head's really digging in like Ashwell Prince

TBF to the selectors wasn't Archer carrying an injury too?

Yeah.

Weird discussion going on about the need for pace. Broad is bowling as quick as I've seen him for a while and Stokes is always sharp.

It's a moot point. Without Starc there's no one who's going to be bowling a lot over 145 km/h from either side anyway.

Saying Australia have a long tail is super harsh on Pattinson in particular.

 

[Jarquis]

Timely.

 

[Starfighter]

That one's moved out of nowhere.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Looks like it pitched outside leg

 

[trundler]

Has it stopped swinging?

 

[harsh.ag]

Cummins and Siddle are good bats so that is wrong even without taking Pattinson into account.

 

[morgieb]

This looks pretty plumb.

plus they don't use a 3rd man in tests so cummins will make a ton

Bad review I think.
