They were excellent yesterday but I'm not letting them off the hook for the other four games. Yesterday was the exception that proved the rule; had they bowled like that all series this would look very different.you gotta stop giving the bowlers stick they pretty much held this test yesterday and today. Pretty much the Main reason why were still in this test. They’ve done well enough since Lyon went down apart from the last test. While Our top 4 have had like 1 big score each in like 8-9 innings they’ve batted
theyve definitely been better than the batters your acting like they’ve been terrible.you imagine if they took marnus or smith out the batting that’s pretty much what Lyon is to their bowling. Don’t forget the bowlers contributions with the bat test 1 as well. How can you say our battings been good when our top 4 has like one big score each in like 4 and half tests. And have hit over 350 like once and don’t forget how many times we’ve been bowled for like 7-100 and collapsed in many inningsThey were excellent yesterday but I'm not letting them off the hook for the other four games.

I just said apart from the last test but you still won’t go on about how many times our batting has collapsed and say our batting has been up to scratch absolutely got saved by the bowlers again this batting innings. If Cummins doesn’t come in with that partnership with smith we’re gone. And how about marnus and khawaja batting today how was that?They conceded 600 runs in three and a half sessions (equivalent)
That's the bowling equivalent of getting bowled out for 60
I think you're missing that my expectations for batting in England are in the gutter. Anything defendable is useful and then I expect the bowlers to defend it - this lot sure are capable.I just said apart from the last test but you still won’t go on about how many times our batting has collapsed and say our batting has been up to scratch absolutely got saved by the bowlers again this batting innings.
It does. Australian bowlers have far lesser workloadTook them nealy 100 overs to get to England's 54 over score, and doesn't really matter at all. Tortoise vs hare makes it more interesting
