partially. sundar and thakur aren't exactly down to bumrah and shami levels of batting though.

That’s mid-80s TOTAB level of one man team stuff

Yeah always. The Ashes is more important than any other series/ tourney in any format from my pov. If Aus lose every series in Asia this coming year I’ll have the shits because they aren’t real cricket nations and rely mostly on finger spin, but at year’s end it will be a success because ashes won

How long did England spend in quarantine?

well yeah but natarajan didn't make any runs. unlike bumrah and shami.
plus, it depends on what bowlers you have and the pitch conditions. bouncing a tail out when you have cummins and hazlewood is one thing; anderson and robinson is quite another.
not in asia, i meant in australia...anyway...i get it...we used to feel the same way about pakistan matches for a long time...

This is absolutely terrible. Why is the fifth bar (bairstow's I think) bigger than the 4th one?

They didnt even overdo the short stuff to those two. Thakur just unfurled his coverdrives when they pitched it up.

i seem to remember a lot of posts here being very annoyed by the lengths we were bowling to them. but yeah, you can sort of understand banging it in against lower order batsmen in their first game in australia; for better or worse it's an extremely effective method of bowling here because the vast majority of them simply can't score off such bowling and they'll eventually dink one up in the air. even if you don't get them out immediately, you'll never really get hurt and the tail won't really wag.
but that's in australia. in england it's just idiotic.

But wasn't Anderson equally responsible for that short ball barrage ? All that started with Bumrah bowling short ball to Anderson and England players wanted to take revenge and Anderson didn't interrupt them.

Yes - like I said there's a vast difference between Cummins and Starc doing it on bouncy, hard Australian pitches and Jimmy Anderson doing it at Lord's.
But yeah that it was a fit of pique rather than an actual plan (as it usually is when Aus bowlers do it) was what made it so galling

wonder why they only gave Boland 2 overs per day.
