Ashes down under

[tomytony]

I said after last test there was chinks of light,and it was the experienced guys who had let themselves down well today some of them redeemed themselves,no one expected us to do well down there with the squad we took,hopefully we will make a game of these last 2 tests and restore some pride,I think we look a different side when cook plays well and our strike bowlers bowl as we know they can,not got to go all gung ho and we can post a decent score with a lead for once and give ourselves a chance,fingers crossed

I know what you're sayin TT about each test an all that it just feels like scoring a couple of 2nd half goals after conceding 4 in the first half

Agreed Bully, small consolation in the context of a series. Broad in particular has a knack of just doing enough to maintain his place. What an overseas series shows is the positive effect English conditions have on some, Woakes in particular, who looks very ordinary over there yet swings and seams it over here.
The good news is that, by and large, it's the same for their bowlers over here, rapid pace apart.

All test matches should be played using the Dukes ball,worldwide
