Oh well, further reflects poorly on them and in extention the England team with their continuous run of commentary. Aus just need to continue on keeping their heads down and focus on playing to their strengths and the Ashes is probably won. England can yelp and screech sanctimoniously on the 'spirit of the game' and how they're saving cricket but it won't help them unless they address their fundamental skill errors and poor selection.

I do hope we find a better way of playing the short ball stuff from England if they decide to go that route again.
He's also Pakistani by birth.
Yorkshire County Cricket Club not the most inclusive bunch to be fronting up to next.

Anyone else preferring Neser rather than Boland for the next test, replacing Haze? Just feeling the vibes.

If we're gonna play Neser anywhere it should be Leeds.

Aside from that, I think Boland and Neser are similarly vulnerable to bazball, and I don't think Boland bowled all that well against India. Was really spraying it down leg, and he carried that into Edgbaston.

Neser, Starc, Cummins, Murphy is a strong tail.
I know his FC stats aren't great yet, but I think Murphy has a bigger range of shots than Lyon.

Murphy's typically looked really bad with the bat whenever I've seen him but he does make some runs in Premier Cricket, wasn't a bunny. Might just take a good knock to get used to the step up in quality.

He looked dismal for the first few games in India with the stick but to be fair looked a lot better on the road at the end, and he certainly wouldn't have faced anything like that before. Facing Test right arm medium fast would still be a step up but it wouldn't be as totally alien as Ashwin and Jadeja on square turners was.

My main concern is that we actually got out to those bouncers in the second innings. I'm guessing Wood will come in for Robinson so that risk will increase.
Didn’t he get a few in the last test in India?
Actually looked okay from what I remember
Both teams have played their fair share of crap cricket in both tests
Don’t know why it hasn’t been the plan all along as it would suit the English bowlers plus their batsmen aren’t going to score 400+ too often
More chance of winning low scoring games IMO
