I think Morris would have his moments but would also cop some bazball treatment and Im not a real fan of this every ball bouncer tactic which gets over done and now even the English tailenders are getting used to and you get players like Wood smashing our quicks around. Not sure after his whirlwind 20 odd in the first innings why we pounded him with bouncers again when runs were precious. Some of our bowling plans and field placings baffled me and also the actual personnel we used in important positions where we needed our best fielders.
Not bowling well as a unit, just bowling as individuals. Exceedingly unimpressed with Hazelwood, and he might have been unlucky but Boland needs wickets.
The bowling "plans" are very ordinary ATM. I wonder if we need to chuck in a real wildcard like Morris to put the wind up 'em....maybe depends on the whether or not the ashes are live after next week
The Fly slip bungle where Carey ran all the way to take the catch but just missed it and Boland had to only come in a short distance to catch the ball was farcical. Did Carey call him out? or did Boland not have confidence to take the catch?
