Last Ashes in 2019Although I said on here a few weeks ago that I don't think he'll play another test and rightly so, looking at the lower order, I am tempted to stick Woakes in in place of Broad.
Btw, everyone was up in arms recently at the mere suggestion of dropping Foakes. Am I right in thinking that everyone is now dropping Foakes?
Only took 10 poles in 4 tests in 2019 tbf, but should certainly be in the discussion given his overall home record.Woakes is a cheat code in english conditions. A bowling attack of robinson-anderson-broad with the dukes is also lethal but woakes batting is SO valuable and his bowling is as good as those 3 in english conditions. Good problem to have, england's fast bowling depth in general is really solid.
Lol good times. I hopped on a plane to the UK as England began their second dig and was disagreeably surprised at the score when I landed.Good word, pizzling. In fact I can only remember anyone using it once before. And it was you, Burgey, just as England were about to begin their second innings* at the Gabba in 2010.

This also accurately describes some of the available selections.Seems like a fairly useless tool.
To be fair, a lot of people call Bairstow that.Bairstow is ready, He's been smashing 95mph balls without pads on. Sent the footage to an unnamed aussie fast bowler who replied "****
What a series that was...one where many Australian fans could apparently work out that bowling short **** wasn't a viable tactic. Nobody involved with the Australian team could see this however.Good word, pizzling. In fact I can only remember anyone using it once before.

If England shorten the boundaries, 3rd slip will be in that position anyway.Speaking of tactics, I wonder how many runs Australia will concede to the third man boundary before it is realised that not having a fielder there because 'it's negative' is stupid. I don't recall if they ever learned the lesson in 2013.
I think they had one for decent portions of the 2019 series but I might be mistaken.Speaking of tactics, I wonder how many runs Australia will concede to the third man boundary before it is realised that not having a fielder there because 'it's negative' is stupid.

What did I do now?
During the rain break in the IPL yesterday, they showed an Ian Bell ton from 2013.....and yes, a lot of runs went through 3rd Man!!Speaking of tactics, I wonder how many runs Australia will concede to the third man boundary before it is realised that not having a fielder there because 'it's negative' is stupid.

nah man you’re thinking too much it’s just they’re cowards tbqhJust been thinking, could the smaller boundary things be in response to the follow on loss to NZ aswell? If the boundaries are smaller then the fielders are probably gonna be covering less distance over the same time period since there's not as many 2's/3's available, right? If England are gonna be batting 50/60 overs most innings they probably wanna minimize the time there bowlers spend on the field when the opposition is batting.
Australia looked down on Vaughan’s 2005 tactics of cutting off boundaries for quite some time but reality is that it workedDuring the rain break in the IPL yesterday, they showed an Ian Bell ton from 2013.....and yes, a lot of runs went through 3rd Man!!
I know, I remember it like it was yesterday how he scored boundary after boundary down there.During the rain break in the IPL yesterday, they showed an Ian Bell ton from 2013.....and yes, a lot of runs went through 3rd Man!!
I hate the idea that gets promulgated in this country that not having four slips and field full of gaps is 'negative'. You have to adapt to the circumstances, and BazBall has a clear case for a third man.Australia looked down on Vaughan’s 2005 tactics of cutting off boundaries for quite some time but reality is that it worked
I think if Australia can work out the right field, it will frustrate some English batsmen not being able to score boundaries. I might leave Third Man free if you've got 3 or 4 slips in, but I'd want either a deep point or cover to frustrate a batsman only getting a single for a decent cover drive.I know, I remember it like it was yesterday how he scored boundary after boundary down there.

Maybe they simply had a proper appreciation of Ian Bell's late cut as one of the most glorious sights in cricket and didn't want to miss out on seeing it.Australia looked down on Vaughan’s 2005 tactics of cutting off boundaries for quite some time but reality is that it worked
