Given how Australia keep picking clowns I wouldn't be so sure of that.If dharmasena was a batsman he would have been dropped permanently
Yeah, pretty much tbh. Annoying as it was for Broad to get sawn off, it's almost totally irrelevant nowIf we can bowl them out for less than 50 we've got an outside chance of winning
Was thinking Woakes would return to replace Broad who looks injured. Not that it matters much. Could always let Finn bowl some slow pies I guess.Yeh, won't happen though.
Why is playing a 4th seamer pointless, especially when your third spinner is as bad as Ansari? Woakes probably would have bowled more than Ansari's 12 overs, for less than the 44 runs he conceded, with more chance of taking a wicket too. The issue over who bats at 4 is just a bad joke. How did Balance get recalled to the side? How did he get picked for the winter after his performances against Pakistan in the summer? How did he get picked for the squad AGAIN after Bangladesh? It gets better. How is Duckett in the team without being able to play the forward defence? It's got to the stage where we may as well pick Buttler at 4 despite doing nothing in 1st Class cricket for goodness knows how long because, well, he can't do any worse.
