Re: Ashes- 3rd Test

Then numbers of wickets come into it, and there’s not a lot of difference there. Although our decrepit attack has somehow managed more than the superb world class Aussie one…

To be serious, they do have some issues with their attack now. I think there must be some questions about Hazlewood fitness and their spinner is a relative greenhorn (going to be an excellent cricketer I think but Lyon would surely have bowled much more today). Despite what mad says it’s been a surprise that Boland hasn’t done better given the wickets he took earlier this year and his test record before this series. Cummins is a great bowler but he over bowled himself today in my opinion as I think he thought he had to carry the burden, he didn’t have the same edge and conceded a lot of runs, for him. Starc can be inconsistent as well as devastating. This next test will be good I think.
