The Oval a renowned batting wicket - it's early days.
How many dropped catches?

Yep, we are hung over from the last test and look ordinary apart from Cummins. Rory Burns ain't pretty but you have to admire how he digs in and has been impressive, I think he will be a decent test player. Root has been lucky and is a No 4 not a No 3 imo.
Need Lyon and Siddle to fire up and support Cummins who must be tired, probably the wrong move to bowl.

They probably are hungover - literally.
A day of cricket sweating the carp out of their bodies and they'll be god to go - Day 2.

And dropping more catches
I know that we’ve had some fun with the Mitch Marsh selection but how on earth does Peter Siddle get a gig?
He is a Victorian but he bowls at half rat power and was unimpressive in his last Test (I reckon that his bowling pace dropped off when he went vegan). Surely Starc or Pattinson would be better options :-\
Re: Ashes 2019 - flyboy77 - 09-12-2019
Agree with the Vegan thing but also Siddle's 35 in November - he should never hsave been in the squad.
Many better performed (young blokes) overlooked.
I think the selectors were expecting Jhye Richardson to be in the squad?
The young man's a star in the making.

Mitch holds a sharp chance!
Re: Ashes 2019 - flyboy77 - 09-12-2019
Are we now singing 'Mitchell Marsh walk on water....'?
:o ;D
Re: Ashes 2019 - JonHenry - 09-12-2019
Two things.
1 - Why bowl first? Makes no sense at all.
2 - Why play Siddle? If M Marsh is in the side, you can play Pattinson.
Bizarre goings on over in London

3 - why was Starc dropped after performing well with bat & ball.....and his lefties offer much needed variation.
Picking Siddle must be a farewell teat gesture....can't think of any other reason!
Re: Ashes 2019 - capcom - 09-13-2019
I "get" the bowling first bit .... i.e. don't lose this test and England were open season.
2 and 3? Yep, agreed
