Well said Cat you purring legend. This tour has had the strangest start I can remember, odd things seem to be happening.
Even today there's a unexpected article from Anderson about the short pitched bowling. But why has he mentioned it? There's nothing untoward going on and if there was the umpires can intervene.....its just odd
England are going to get short pitched bowling, we are going to play on faster tracks and the old bowlers Union went out about 20 years ago.
I really don't get why he would bring that up to the press...
Everything we do seems to be playing into the Aussie hands.including Strauss who is a bright bloke imposing a curfew on the players when they set their own curfews and rules and have done since Athertons days.
If the Bairstow incident was nothing other than a bit of horseplay gone wrong a its worst why do we need a curfew?
Why didn't Steauss just come out and say it was a bit odd, but he is backing the players, just crack on there's nothing to see here.
By over reacting Steauss is doing. Exactly what the Aussies want him to do.
its mental !
