What we learned from the 5th Test

[GIMH]

Might as well start now - Gus Atkinson is fire

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

England being bowled out for 14 to lose by 12 runs demonstrates the weakness of BazBall.

Atkinson, Archer, Stokes and one other (how about Wood?) is a decent bowling line up for the Ashes.

If Carse can get fully fit he'll be an asset too, haven't seen the best of him this home summer.

 

[honestbharani]

that its time to wish @GIMH a happy new year.

 

[Isura]

Siraj is the best player in India.

This thread got opened too soon

An asset or an arset? The answer could decide the Ashes.

With the current holder of the Compton Miller Trophy looking likely to be ruled out of the tour () England desperately needs to get its Carse in gear.

Robinson, but he's made himself unselectable.

Adequate, but still vastly inferior to Oz, SA, NZ, and WI.

Ours is probably top 3

4th

 

[Molehill]

Overton should never play Test Cricket again.

The sub rule needs looking at, any bloke with a dislocated shoulder should not be running around in agony.

 

[trundler]

Jamie Smith can't handle the heat

 

[Adders]

No but he hasn't already Chris Woakes has cemented his place into atg England lionhearts.

But yeah the rule does need changing.

Despite 3 years of McCullum in charge

Winning a series in New Zealand is the only improvement from a results perspective from the previous 2 coaches results.

Technically, we went 2-1 down to India at home under Silverwood and are 3-2 up under McCullum!

I like the positive way to look at it

We did also play much better in the Ashes compared with 2019 (**** off Aussies, I haven’t used the M word!), think the only way they come under pressure is if we lose 4/5-0 again
