I don't think Anderson is bowling *that* short. Looks more-or-less like his natural length, it's just this pitch is genuinely bouncing. On an English deck those two reviewed shouts hit just below the bails IMO.

Obviously he needs to adjust to the conditions and he should be held accountable for that, but I don't think he's bowling egregiously short wrt the two close shouts.
Anderson's natural length really is kinda short though. Has been for years unless he really is going for it.

Shorter length can help with the swing too though. Fuller balls are easier to smother.

A few blokes don’t seem to be wearing the neck guards on their lids. I thought they were compulsory

Hahaha I was just thinking this. Those were dead plumb though, and they'd run out of reviews.
If I remember Hussey correctly overturned one then there was a plumb one not given which couldn't be reviewed. Few play and misses too.

Haze on this could be interesting. I worry that there might be a very narrow window between half volley and bouncing over for him on this deck. Could either be amazing and he nicks everyone off or one of those 'unlucky' spells where everything seams past the edge.

I reckon that with where these two are batting, the length that they'll have trouble with is too short to hit the stumps.

Jeez that is a scorecard of mediocrity. Should add up to a decent score though.

The pitch is taking off. Should bowl fuller just for that. Regular length coming into the stomach.
