Ashes 2019

Bit more than intimidation IMO, he is bowling to hit blokes and then waiting at the top of his mark laughing as they lay on the ground.....its got out of hand.
We probably started it with Cummins doing some enforcing but Root has taken it to a new level with Archer and he is delighting in opposing players getting hurt and to me its
not exciting but dangerous.

I think that we started it with Lillee and Thommo (if you ignore the bodyline series) but, you’re right, it is getting out of hand.  The umpires really need to clamp down on intimidatory bowling but that would require the best umpires to be officiating rather than the incompetent neutrals.
