Ashes 2019

[ElwoodBlues1]

X2

I thought that Paine captained with more confidence than he showed on the last day of the last Test. Perhaps he has learnt from the experience.

x3....look like he learned a bit from the Stokes massacre and didnt let the game drift.
Liked his quick bowling changes and how he was happy to bowl a few part timers to change things up.
Mind you with only 81 balls left he was cutting it a bit fine,  we have the better attack with more contributors and I think that was the difference.

England probably got unlucky losing Wood and Anderson who paired with Broad and Archer would have been a handful on these seaming tracks
but thats how the luck goes sometimes.
Root also didnt help his bowlers by being negative too often, fortune favours the brave and Paine for most of the time kept attacking fields and
reaped the rewards.
