I'm not saying he's not good but he's barely playing of late and to get the lines and length is not that easy when you're not playing.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.
Kane wishes he’d have been in a position to have done that instead of nicking off playing another nothing shot after getting a start tbhStill all his runs counts for the team. Kane wouldn't have done that. Pretty sure Mitchell will be thinking the same
Yeah I mean he’s going to get pelters for it on days when those shots clear the ropes and he goes for 0/100 off 20, so you kinda have to give him full credit when they hole out.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.
Henry won't go to Pakistan.I'm not saying he's not good but he's barely playing of late and to get the lines and length is not that easy when you're not playing.
If by chance he doesn't go right very high chance he won't be there for the next series particularly in Pakistan. Gary will have Henry in no time in his place.
We would do it all the time under Strauss and Cook whenever Jimmy wasn't hooping itQuestion for England fans: Have England often been a team that tries to change the ball, or is it a Baz initiative? He tried a lot as Kiwi captain (too much imo).
