Bazball has certainly screwed up our quick bowlers who have completely lost the plot. Excessive short rubbish, poor direction control, weak fundamentals. Other than Lyon the only other bloke who was bowling with any control was Boland and they kyboshed him, which was really just a smokescreen for shit batting not making enough runs out of the conditions.
Yesterday morning Tubby and others were rattling on about how well Australia had batted in the conditions making par, now par is looking like 700!
I've had a good look at what Broad has been doing, and other than increased use of the wobble seam it's not much at all, and it's as slow as he's ever been.
Anderson is basically the same as always, just a bit slower.
Wood is quick, but not much else of interest, he is a skiddy type bowler who gets batsmen into trouble when they are not watching the ball carefully. Really the likes of Green and Marsh should be right at home against him as they both drive on the up with very little trouble.
At the moment Woake is a mile ahead in terms of control and hazardous potential.
Losing Lyon then not picking a spinner was a huge gaff, maybe it was hubris!
