I actually would have picked the seam attack we did. But that's not to say that this isn't an occasion that calls for that extra pace. The commentators are talking about Stokes doing it but the guy has bowled just 7 overs in the game and we really do not know if he can slam that left knee down.soapboxsam said:Addick Addict said:As this is the plan, it's times like this when we could do with Wood steaming in at 90mph rather than Broad at 80mph
I thought it sounded as if it would be Broad or Wood for the starting 11 and Broad has been the pick of the England bowler's.0 -
I'm sorry but that's 38 extras we've conceded already in the match including 22 no balls. That is ridiculous. If Michael Holding were commentating he would say as much. To put that in perspective, Australia bowled 4 no balls.2

Yep, that's right.MarcusH26 said:thai malaysia addick said:Head is strange. The year he played for Sussex, he couldn't make any decent scores - 50 runs in his first 7 innings as far as I recall, yet he has always scored big in Oz. Let's hope he finds his Sussex form today.
That spell with Sussex was absolutely atrocious in all formats. Think he got one 50 all season.1 -
Where we are getting away with these no balls is that the 3rd Umpire is calling them. In the old days with the standing Umpire calling them it was, in effect, a free hit.0

Most no balls by England in a Test since 2006. Bizarre why this has been a problem out of nowhere0

Did he have the moustache back then? That must be the key to his improvement.thai malaysia addick said:Head is strange.

Anderson has definitely been the least effective of the 3 seamers. I wonder if Woakes or Potts might be considered also if they want fresh legs.kinveachyaddick said:On what we've seen so far in this test, Anderson would be the one to make way for Wood for Lord's0 -
I would always pick Woakes at Lords.killerandflash said:

Moeen Ali you beauty!!!1
-
Yeeehaaaaaaa0
-
Wow. That's the thing about Moeen, he'll bowl a number of loose balls, but get it right enough to take wickets.1
-
This is why test match cricket is the greatest game in the world.2
-
Never doubted you, definitely not. Well done Moeen. Huge wicket0
-
Khawaja making Dom Sibley look aggressive, but as long as runs are being scored at the other end, he's doing his job.0
-
Green looks incredibly nervous0
-
Can Bairstow not catch?3
-
Only following the thread on and off but could someone post the score when a wicket goes down please?1

Feel like so much of this depends on Moeen's finger. His fourth innings record with the ball is properly brilliant: Average better than Warne, and, with a cut-off of 50 wickets, the second-best strike rate of all time0 - Sponsored links:

He said himself he is struggling due to lack of preparation because of that groin strain.Pelling1993 said:

The 56th over, and still no Stokes.0

Tip it Stokes!killerandflash said:The 56th over, and still no Stokes.0 -
England have been a bit "predictable" in the last half hour.0
-
I was thinking the same. This situation calls for something different and Stokes can give you that but the longer it goes on without him bowling the longer it appears that he can't. There is no scoreboard pressure whatsoever, the ball is doing next to nothing and Khawaja looks like he's got half an hour to play every ball.killerandflash said:The 56th over, and still no Stokes.0 -
181-5
100 required with 40 overs still to go0 -
Australia pissing it. only 100 needed now with 5 wickets left.
Need an inspired spell from someone.0
