It's a good thing young Rogers got over his ear injury!
The Poms have been bowling well but our batting has been woeful.

Anderson on these type of wickets with swing and seam is nearly unplayable, hopefully the movement stays and we get our turn with the ball to use the conditions.
If Steve Finn is picking up wickets and bowling genuine outswingers then its shows how helpful this pitch is to bowlers becuase Finn is a very ordinary bowler IMO...
Shaun Marsh in for Voges next test...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - cimm1979 - 07-29-2015
I understand the reasons you never bowl first and usually support them.
Sometimes a team will bowl first because they feel it's the only way they can win.
But the only way the poms could have won this test is by bowling first in overcast conditions. That's why they brought in Finn late. They gambled and won.
Might have been one of the rare occasions where you look outside the norm and bowled first. It would have taken away their only hope.We didn't gamble and are in strife.
Particularly if you look at the weather forecast for the next 4 days.
All in Englands favour.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 07-29-2015
It will probably best if we lose the last wicket quickly and give our bowlers a crack while the conditions last. It could be a short Test.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 07-29-2015
We need some young bats quick... Clarke is a real worry. And he ain't the only one.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - MosquitoFleet - 07-29-2015
The decision to bat was stupid
Since 2005 we cant play swing conditions in England. ..a continual problem...

It actually wasn't moving that much.....Smith, Voges & Marsh were playing (or trying not to play) at straight balls a foot outside off stump !
Clark got a good 'un, as usually happens when you're in a bit of a form slump, but the rest of the middle order were acting an if it were a Jimmy Anderson testimonial.

Looks like a smashing is on the way
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - raven19 - 07-30-2015
Good fightback in the first session. It's running away from us now though with Ali scoring freely.
Our bowlers just can't bowl tight lines. Missing Rhino in these situations.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 07-30-2015
Pity we can't bat.
