Bowling's decent, but nowhere near threatening enough.

We haven't bowled badly, but everything feels a bit confused. The approach to the series in both tests so far has been odd in selection, strategy, and tactics. Hoping for a sudden massive batting collapse but you can just see what is going to happen here.

This is so insipid

Let�s bowl without purpose for 5 hours straight, in the hope that it might nibble around a bit in the last hour under lights.

Only listening on the radio but they've said England have bowled well early and beat the bat, but it hasn't done much since. Said they've tried a few funky plans but it sounded like its the scenario where your spinner would tie up one end, so you could attack at the other end with pace. Without a spinner able to do that, it limits the plans surely.

Completely agree, at times you need to sit in and keep an end tight to build pressure and rotate your quicks. Aussies clearly had plan to disrupt Leach from ball one last test and not sure he will be picked again this series

Might just turn off at this rate

Haha! Thanks Huss!

Davey... Why?!

Also, Smith looks so out of touch. 2013 vibes from before he was good

Two years of planning and this is what England have produced, you do start to despair a bit...

Yes quite right. We are cooked in this game
Everyone�s right arm over and it will spin later

Robinson not good enough to take the new ball under the lights? Maybe if England new how to treat spinner properly...
Root is not a captain.

Can only go by BBC text but seems we have bowled short of a length most innings.

rickjames · « **Reply #328 on:** December 16, 2021, 11:15:43 AM »

Can we bin Buttler? That is absolutely atrocious

Now that's a sitter
