I remember seeing something from Brendan Julian before the series, arguing that Starc shouldn't take the new ball as it doesn't swing as much as it does from overs 5-20 and he isn't the kind of stump to stump bowler that uses it the most effectively. Most of the time I think he's a dumbass but I reckon he might've been onto something there. Australia's been trying too hard to get swing early and it's hurt them.Lacquer come off? Been a consistent pattern in this game for both sides that the brand new rock has been a good time to bat.
Looked like a deviation off the bat to meDidn't look like Duckett hit that.
I think a fly must have got between bat and ball.
Yeah very reminiscent of 2015 in that respect. Seems the lessons of 2019 didn't stick.I remember seeing something from Brendan Julian before the series, arguing that Starc shouldn't take the new ball as it doesn't swing as much as it does from overs 5-20 and he isn't the kind of stump to stump bowler that uses it the most effectively.

They think its the extra lacquer on the Dukes.I remember seeing something from Brendan Julian before the series, arguing that Starc shouldn't take the new ball as it doesn't swing as much as it does from overs 5-20 and he isn't the kind of stump to stump bowler that uses it the most effectively.

Overs 5-15 was definitely a bit streaky. Not super streaky but there were a few mistimed shots/plays and misses. Has recovered a lot better since then though, and unlike Manchester I'm not sure we've bowled terribly poorly to him either.Reckon that might be one of his least streaky innings ever? Pretty normal amount of play and misses etc
Yeah but it's opening the batting in England, that's the case for every player ever.Overs 5-15 was definitely a bit streaky. Not super streaky but there were a few mistimed shots/plays and misses.

It is interesting how in terms of the bowling 2019 was a bit like 2013 in that I think Australia bowled well but had one batsman hurt them and the batting generally not doing enough to pick up the slack. We've batted better here than 2015 which has meant that the series hasn't ended in a loss but.....Yeah very reminiscent of 2015 in that respect. Seems the lessons of 2019 didn't stick.
Would like to see DRSUh. That's plumb LBW surely?
