They seam to be getting it to seam a lot more than it did yesterday. Does the rain have something to do with it? Putting moisture back into the pitch etc, or does it not work like that? I remember one match where a couple of sessions worth of heavy rain was said to have dried out the pitch because of the wet outfield. I have no idea how it works.

Jamieson poses more of a threat than Tremlett, surely.

No way dude, if Root gets out soon you may as well go back to bed.

Haven't seen many people as intimidating while bowling just over 130 km/h as Tremett in 2010/11. Got injured very soon after though.

Though also kudos to him for signing up to the IPL for an enormous sum of money in his first season when his stocks were high with Virat Kohli, performing terribly and returning home with a bag of cash and the ability to take his career in whatever direction he wanted.Kudos again to Jamieson for skipping the IPL to work on his bowling. Looking far better than he did in the NZ home summer.

When my flatmate asked me something like "name all opening partners of cook" I had to name something like 17 people
For a while there England had like 2 attacks worth of good bowlers. Still do tbh but they're all injured atm.
Tremlett was a monster in the 2011 Ashes. Seriously underrated bowler and loss imo.

Yes, we didn't see very much of peak Tremlett. Even less than Simon Jones a few years earlier. Whereas Jamieson's averaging 18 after 15 matches.

I'm trying to think who we had in 2011. From memory, Anderson, Broad, Finn, Tremlett and Bresnan, most of them at the peak of their powers. Have I forgotten anyone? I'll take a bit of persuading that the current cohort are their equal, despite their potential.

You could say Anderson and Broad are much more experienced 11 years later.

There really wasn't a huge case for picking him. He'd made runs in the CC, but he always does, and so have a lot of people on the pitches being produced for the CC this year. And anyway, I'd rather see him churning out the runs for Surrey.

True. Broad's peak was somewhere between then and now. I know that Anderson's figures since around 2014 are extraordinary, so we're weighing up his extra skills level with the effect of approaching 40 on his stamina over five days. I wouldn't like to call it either way.
