PaulC Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 For all the praise Stokes gets I think itcwas rather dumb to bowl moeen 30 overs first day when he hasn't played red ball cricket in 2 years so when you need hin final day he can't bowl.properly, and then the declaration first day.

sidcow Posted June 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Our bowling attack has always been my big worry. We've got batsmen who can get runs and apply pressure like no one else. But the lack of spinners and ageing fast bowlers losing their prime pace makes it difficult to hurt them Edited June 20, 2023 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can Australia consistently develop better bowlers than we can with half the population? Turning to a retired spinner and keeping hope with 36 and 40 year old fast bowlers can never be right. The Burnley express us now the Burnley yard shunter. Brilliant careers, exceptional bowlers in their prime but long gone now and you can't live on the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 We have had fast bowlers come through, its just they always seem to be injured - Archer, Wood, Olly Stone etc. Is it just unlucky, or is there a shortfall in proper coaching of fast bowlers, meaning they develop less than ideal techniques which means they can't stand up to the rigors of test cricket long term?
