Finally. 9 down
So did AustraliaAlways struggle with the b****d tail.
It's really odd. We have some strange fielding positions based on clear plans then when the 7th wicket falls it all goes out of the window.How to lose all momentum, bowl short to tail enders. We never learn.
He doesn't pick the teamJimmy has been great for england but hes past it, bowls gentle medium pacers now that don't swing, the aussie batters seem to have
an eternity to play him
Great players retire in their prime, just look back to Hussain and Cook who scored tonnes in their last england games
Anderson just wants to hang on until he hits 700 wickets as that is a personal milestone for him, no room for sentmentality in sport
Why bat so long? Won't England try to make as many runs as possible as quickly as possible to get Australia back in?If we can get to the afternoon on day 4 we'll do it. By then we'll have some total and they'll have to match our scoring rate, with plenty of time to bowl them out.
The most expensive opening 2 overs by a bowler in Ashes history!Starc taking out of the attack already
