Ashes 2019

[ElwoodBlues1]

Dangerous pitch with variable bounce, they're the scary ones to bat on.

Yep,  I'm sure Cummins ET Al will have filed Archer's efforts away.  It will come,  just need to keep him guessing as to when he's going to need that helmet.....

Prof, I think Cummins was the one who bounced Archer first as well as bouncing Woakes and Broad....the whole intimidation thing has got out of hand IMO and
the umpires need to put a stop to four or five bouncers and over before someone does get hurt badly. We probably over did it to start with and now they have the quicker Archer
the Poms think they can give it back but both Archer and Cummins were sending down way too many per over.
That ball that hit Smith reminded me of Phil Hughes getting hit in an unprotected area on the back of the head/neck and Smith could have been seriously hurt.
Langar is also to blame for pre match stuff about Archer not being able to sustain his pace etc etc and should have kept his mouth shut, Archer just wanted to prove he could bowl
quicker and quicker for a long period and was deliberately over bowled for intimidation reasons only....plus he and Butler seemed to be laughing about hitting Smith which is disgraceful.
Both captains should be told to end the over use of the short pitch stuff....
