Ashes 2019

[ElwoodBlues1]

Woakes is that typically annoying bits and pieces pommy player who looks pedestrian much of the time,  then puts in a performance like that. In the 90's our batters "broke" such blokes early and they became pie chuckers..... Can't see that happening this tour,  he'll have his day out at some stage.

Woakes was a spud but is a decent cricketer now, seems to be bowling quicker and also moving the ball both ways, is also handy with the bat and an excellent fielder.
I think he will take over from Anderson as their front line swing bowler and will have one or two days out this test series. Broad also seems back to his best, the Irish are rubbish
batters but I was more interested in how Broad was bowling the right length and getting movement both ways, no short or wide stuff either, everything at the stumps, he isnt quick anymore but his
height still makes him awkward.
The thing that really sticks out for me is the pommy fielding, they dont have many dud fielders and they catch everything so our blokes need to be tight in technique and not waving the bat or they wont get many second chances.
