1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[halba]

Our bowling will make Pope look like prime KP

Hhaha. England should get these runs. Root and Brook, their best two batters, still to come.

These two teams bowling attacks are average. Bumrah is still coming from injury and u cant over bowl him is the main issue. Siraj- he was dropped with good reason and now hes suddenly back? Did he improve whilst he was gone? It appears not

No sideways movement on these England roads. Australia series had a lot of lateral movement for Bumrah and none of the pitches were Roads(5 tests - no roads, england is full of roads)

 

[PlayerComparisons]

147 odi wickets @ 21 bond
87 @ 22 in tests.

Overall its fair to say he was an excellent bowler for his short peak.

ODI bond was ATG. Didn’t really prove himself in tests though.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

England is going to score 800 like they did in Pak when Bumrah isn’t playing

 

[ImpatientLime]

like as overall careers or from a pure skill perspective?

clearly overall careers. but if you're an 18 test match player in the modern era then i think its hard to really rank you above blokes who won test matches for their teams through long storied careers.

Keep on probing it there Siraj

Yep. He was like Brett Lee who i rate as the best ever in that format, 380 wkts @ 23. Both had the pace.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Siraj looking significantly better in this spell

Ummm, you rate Lee over McGrath, Garner and Murali??

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ollie Pope on 3333* runs

He also rated Ngidi as the third best bowler post 2007

post 2007's (across all pitches/countries) in terms of overall quality.

Fast Bowlers.

Don't take it Gill

Top of middle.

Umpire's call

 

[trundler]

That's daylight ****ing robbery. Umpires should give it out if it's a really good ball like that imo

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This one's sliding down leg

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Siraj is making things happen. Just by probing it around middle stump line.

We are talking ATG, not skill or being good or having potential.

Nah, Pope's just trash and Siraj is finally being accurate

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nah, Pope's just trash and Siraj is finally being accurate

That's the crux of my comment. Let the batsman make a mistake

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Siraj looks like a fuccboi with this hairstyle

 

[Shri]

can't wait for siraj to switch the bails and proceed to leak even more runs without a wicket
