Overton will do well, just the type of character we need against the convicts.1

With Overton likely to play, its reminded me of his opening bowler counterpart from the U-21's , Reece Topley - whats happened to him?0

Well they'd better not ban umbrellas from the Valley or introduce id checks before you can buy a pie!Fanny Fanackapan said:Shame on you , Ash !
This is NOT the time to cast aspersons on the Aussies, don't you know !1 -
I thought he did well in the warm up games so should get a match. Also they should play Crane - not ever seen him play but if he's in the squad as a spinner then he has to play (assuming Ali's not going to bowl) - no point him being there otherwise. Root can fill in a few overs but can't be expected (or even considered) as the main spinner.The_President said:Overton will do well, just the type of character we need against the convicts.
Not sure yet what I'm going to do tonite/early morning. I usually like to see the first session but do I sit up until 3.30 & watch it until 6/7 am, or go to bed for a few hours & then get up at 3.30/4.0 am ? Seeing as its Saturday tomorrow I'll probably watch most of it & go back to bed towards the end of play or at tea (dinner their time) and sleep until midday.0 -
We're going to work out three Tests too late that Australia can't play spin very well, aren't we?0

Also, slightly off Ashes topic @cantersaddick mentioned on Surrey thread couple of months ago about Currans being down on pace compared to last season due to amount of overs bowled but Jamie said they reckon they bowled as fast as ever this season0

Fair enough. I think the point I was trying to make was that Alec Stewart had said at a members meeting that the reason the Currans hadn't been picked for the lions squad was that the selectors were worries about the amount of overs they had bowled in the season and that as both of them had been on tours the previous winter they hadn't had a rest in more than 19 months.MrOneLung said:Also, slightly off Ashes topic @cantersaddick mentioned on Surrey thread couple of months ago about Currans being down on pace compared to last season due to amount of overs bowled but Jamie said they reckon they bowled as fast as ever this season

Lions tour Windies early next year. That should suit them.0

I reckon Crane might rise to Test cricket. Give him a whirlCallumcafc said:

I'd feel a lot happier about our chances with Rashid in the squad instead of Crane. He can bat a bit too.1

Think we have to have a bowl at the Aussies if we win the toss.
In 2010 we got them three down for only two runs after the first couple of overs. Not saying we can do it again but the way to get some momentum back in this series is to take some quick wickets IMO.0 -
We’re bowling, good conditions for swing.0

Let’s hope the rest of your predictions be as accurate as the toss decision @CallumcafcCallumcafc said:Think we have to have a bowl at the Aussies if we win the toss.

I'm in Adelaide, though not at the Test today. I thought England would like to bowl. It's like an English day here, fairly cool, breezy and very cloudy. Hopefully a good day ahead, setting the game up for my visits to the Adelaide Oval for the second and third days.1

pile of poo at the moment. I got up at 3.15 am to watch this tripe. After 12 overs we'd only bowled 5% of balls on a full length - 60% were short. Woakes comes on & bowls a load of tripe too. I'm giving it another 20 mins & then I'm back off to bed.iamdan said:We’re bowling, good conditions for swing.

Disappointing start, rain might do us a favour.0

More rain. Going back to bed0

See I set the alarm on the right day and bloody rains1
-
That was absolutely dreadful.
Thought we may have come out showing a bit of bite and looking to respond - couldn't have been more wrong.
Sadly, we don't have a prayer in this series.1 -
Mix up between Warner and Bancroft and Bancroft is run out with a direct hit.

Well, not really a direct hit - was from 5 yards!Addickted2TheReds said:Mix up between Warner and Bancroft and Bancroft is run out with a direct hit.
Warner absolutely screwed Bancroft over.0 -
