Some scrutiny?
They should have been punted yesterday morning.
Three bowlers on a road. Three.

He probably won't bowl til day 3.

Also didn't have a chance to add to his world record.

His career numbers as a whole are spawny and bordering on fraudulent.

Nah he's a solid bowler. Quite liked watching his Asia tours and if he's dangerous there and respectable at home then he's all good.

I think Kane will bring him on early unless Southee, Boult and Wagner are running through England lineup.
This could be Wagner's last test if England get struck into him. If he can turn it around that'll be a great comeback. If he doesn't have a good test likely that'll be it for the great man. Can't see him touring Pakistan.

So Wagner is only allowed one bad game and others are allowed a lot more?
Hmm
edit - so hang on, we've gone in with 3 bowlers (which is sacking worthy) and we're not confident one of them is still any good?
This organisation I swear lol.

I imagine Brathwaite vs Leach is what cricket in the 60s must've been like.

It's pretty much modern cricket isn't it, spinners get smashed by mishits from big bats going for boundaries, occasionally you pick up a few.

Tossing it up and getting the attacking batter or the tail-ender to hit out is a legitimate approach to get wickets so wouldn't automatically discount those - conscious decision by Stokes/Leach to challenge the batsmen to take chances and it worked. Preferable to some of the crap tactics sometimes employed by fast bowlers against the tail too i.e. bowling all sorts of lengths instead of hitting the wickets.
Think Stokes has given Leach the license to tempt the batsmen and they're very happy it's paid off.
