when England have competed it's been down to the batters on this tour Englands bowling is the bigger problem before the Ashes started wrote on here Englands bowlers weren't good enough and couldn't see them taking 20 wickets each match and got ripped into by one established member
i don't know which of the 'members' you are referring to, you did indeed write that and you are correct, our medium pacers all right arm over won't get wickets on good batting decks. You don't have to look far back to see England overseas struggle to bowl sides out. we lost 0-4 in India not so long ago. Under lights we had a decent chance in the match because we need it to do a bit to help our bowlers.
Quality bowling wins test matches...however....when the batters get in they have to nail it and nail it big-this is what we don't do-get big hundreds.
If we don't do that we will Lose matches....forget about winning and bowling teams out, we will lose without enough runs.
We got 400 on this game when 500 should of been a good score.
You are perfectly right about our bowling, and England's good results are flattering by playing in home conditions when our bowlers bail us out.
Top level cricket, when good players get set they put their teams in strong positions, agreed you may not win becuae you need 20 wickets, but without runs we will continue to lose.
What's the answer? Not sure, let's find this 'established member' see if he, or she(!) can give us an answer
Us fans need something to cling on to.
