Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

The current English model is to play a heap of lusty hitting all rounder types and few specialist bowlers.

Yep the Poms play the numbers game, lots of reliable noodlers bowling option balls here and there, and the batting pressure off the top order because they bat deep.

There is a direct correlation between slowed run rates and bowling changes.

If you can get a bunch of blokes who can reliably bowl 1 or 2 over spells, not needing 2 or 3 overs just to get going, you put the brakes on batmen as they never really get 100% settled. The only problem it adds is that on a bad day you do have an issue getting through your overs.
