Wasted spot in the team really. I thought they'd just let him have that last Old Trafford test out of sentimentality, but to pick him again is just madness. He's a shadow of his former self.

He's a shadow of his former self. He's only got 4 wickets all series so far, two of them bowlers in Cummins and Starc (although tbf they can bat ok) He just hasn't got the pace anymore, doesn't matter how accurate you can be, how much you can move the ball, its not going to trouble top batsmen barely hitting 80mph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Mind-numbing bowling so far. We seem surprised that Australia aren't as cavalier with their wickets as us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Bad day for England. Looked in control until Moeen did his groin and then the batting went into meltdown. Only one down with tired bowlers and One injured one it doesn't look good at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Long way to go before getting too pessimistic, they haven't run away with thr scoring, but we need to take wickets, we need Jimmy to step up at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
