I meant WarnerI'm not keen on that sort of thing. And Jimmy's not daft, for all the talk of 700 wickets.

Sorry, my mistake.I meant Warner
Stay off forum if you don't careWho cares?
so why did he change his approach? Was it under instruction or possibly more a confidence thing?Warners problem is since 2019 ashes his lost his strike rate early in the innings to build
Up his confidence like he use to. This has changed in all formats his played now, he use to like 30 off 20 balls back in the days see off the new ball and off to a flyer with much more confidence. Now a days he has to work so hard at the start then he eventually nicks out to one. Playing at like under 40 strike rate has never been his sort of game
I think you're right about Wood. And I'm not sure whether Woakes was fit at the start of the series either.I don’t think he was fit til the 3rd tbf
It might have helped their cause if they’d taken 600 wickets/ scored thousands of runs before they turned to crap tbfhe's done imagine Graeme Hick, Ramprakash, Devon Malcolm et al had been afforded as much grace as Anderson and Warner they may have carved out some decent numbers
Heck of a first post to a bloke who's been here for years.Stay off forum if you don't care
Most likely mentally his just not confident anymore at the start every bowler bowls whatever they want at him now. He tries too hard to see off the bowlers now rather than attack them out of the attack.so why did he change his approach? Was it under instruction or possibly more a confidence thing?
fair enough just think the modern selectors are not as ruthless as the selectors of oldIt might have helped their cause if they’d taken 600 wickets/ scored thousands of runs before they turned to crap tbf
Well he won't be getting many in India this winter.
Isn't it better you give a series to Potts Tongue or Cook - someone who's in for the long term? What better series to establish yourself in?Think he said he is retiring after the Windies at home didn't he? Might as well give him that as a send off.
Signs aren't great after that comeback over.Come on Jimmy, prove a few of us wrong.
He hasn’t been that threatening at all. Aus main challenge the last few tests have been to get over Wood and Woakes first spells which they haven’t been able to. They’ve played Jimmy the exact way they have wanted. Just not to give him wickets they couldn’t care much about the scoring rate off himAnderson has never been especially effective against Aus outside of a few isolated spells anyway. He hasn't looked terrible, just lacked penetration on mostly unhelpful surfaces against batsmen who know his tricks inside out and are happy to sit on him.
nah i didn't quote anyone so was completely unclear.Sorry, my mistake.
Tend to think once a guy says he's going to retire, take the decision away from him. It's like putting in notice on your job, you just phone it in after that.I meant Warner
