Probably. But I would've considered Jordan an easy omission after the warm up games and Sri Lanka tour.Possibility that England chose Jordan/Woakes/Finn to put them in a bit of a shootout against each other, settle on their best combo by the end of the tri-series? Because surely Tredwell, as much as I don't rate over here, won't get a better pitch to bowl on in Aus.
If Anderson and Woakes are playing they need the new ball as they might get hammered when they come on later by a set a batsman. Almost need them to bowl 6 or 7 straight off if we can to minimise damage off them later.Anderson/Woakes and Broad first change. Jordan/Finn the 4th seamer
Just going to say that the gun is saying Woakes consistently quicker.Tragic thing is that people still argue for Finn because of his pace and Cricinfo has him as the slowest of all the opening bowlers in this match.
He hasn't had pace for about 18 months. Something has gone drastically wrong with him. Broad had a spell when his pace was right down and got it back up again so maybe it will one day click back in but god knows when that will be.Tragic thing is that people still argue for Finn because of his pace and Cricinfo has him as the slowest of all the opening bowlers in this match.
Yup. It's a real shame how he's gone over the last few years. I know he hasn't been brilliantly handled, but ultimately it's down to him.Tragic thing is that people still argue for Finn because of his pace and Cricinfo has him as the slowest of all the opening bowlers in this match.
