They are playing with cluttered minds with regards to all the bazball crap. They don't need to copy it rather they have to do what worked for them in recent times. Good accurate bowling with catching fielders and some protection in the deep to stop boundaries. They can't stop looking for wickets and focus primarily on containment

They've completely lost their minds. Fortunately, it looks like the weather will help prevent them losing the first test from it and they might wake up

It's like they're letting Nathan Lyon set everyone's fields. They need to adopt the default Australian stance to English cricket - derision, and get an attacking rocket up their arse in the field.

Captain Woke

Nah someone said all the analysts came up with it so likely approved by McDonald and Cummins...I'd be interested to see if Smith would do it if captain

I don’t care who decided

It’s just wrong as one of the basics is to bowl one side of the wicket

Attack on or about off stump with 2 slips, gulley, 3rd man and a sweeper on the offside boundary if necessary

Basically the field Cummins & Haze have set to take 500 wickets

Throwing in 2 fielders on the leg side boundary as well is catering for bad bowling and isn’t tolerated in club cricket let alone tests

Every now and again they just lose their brains with some stupid strategy. Whole batting line up sweeping...not having any attacking fielders. Just stop it you idiots

I was hoping they'd respect Pontings comments about it on comms but I guess none of the Aus analysts listened to him 😞

I’m watching that stream and Buttler is ramping fours and 6s for fun

his timing is so sweet on shots like that, now he clobbers a straight six

Ponting and Edgbaston are not good friends though

bowl first Ricky as McGrath is taken to hospital

That's what I find funny about this new BazBall "that's never been done before". 2005 version of this Test England scored 407 in 79.2 overs on day 1, BazBall only scored 393 in 78 so what's different after 18 years (other than Australia's ODI fielding strategy)
