Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Larwood played 21! Think we've heard of him 
You're missing the point. We don't need 4 world class bowlers, just 4 to have a moment in the sun

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
A lot of that comes down to are they fit though. Archer was unplayable that summer. And if fit he can run in off no run up and be lighting. Headingly test everyone remembers Stokes batting but he bowled 19 (?) overs straight the night before to knock them over. Wood is quick and skiddy.. But you're...

Re: Pre-season 2025
Yeah, most of this. I did think JDC was too narrow in defensive shape a few times first half, but we looked pretty organised overall

We scored more for 5 than them. Bit of rarity, need to stop that tail wagging now!

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
In Iles' latest article he has Schumacher quoted as saying he wants more "personalities", which would seem to confirm he's referring to the type of person rather than mere numbers. Whether he means leaders or "good in the dressing room" types, or both, I suppose we'll soon find out. Not sure he did...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I'm not. I keep saying that! I might be a little less fatalistic about it, and if you have an off day with either bat or ball, you're going to struggle against a decent India side. I don't see us getting much of a return with this 4, but it's not correct to suggest Tongue has been junior 1. He'd be ...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
They just need to be good enough in one series on fast wickets to attain immortality. You probably don't forget Jofra getting the Aussies jumping at home. :-) Didn’t win it though did we? Nor did he take many wickets iirc. I wanted to come back to this one, but thought I better check first. He took...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
But being a world class test bowler counts for diddly in any given series, unless you happen to perform in that series like a world class test bowler. 2005, Freddy was dominant with 24 wickets, but Jones was much lower on strike rate, for example. Hoggy was the 4th most used bowler. I agree with wha...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Strongly disagree anyway. If they're all fit it's a very good (seam) attack. But it's no use because they're never fit. And I'm yet to be convinced on spin! Even if they were fully fit I don’t think they are very good or even good. Wood and Archer are both inconsistent short spell quicks but lack t...

Our midfield looked more solid today overall, gave away too much ball, but heading in the right direction.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I think it's just a "where we're at" thing, they're probably not as poor as they're being painted, but they're not stellar either. Welcome back Jofra! 19-1. Now wrap him up for 6 months!

Re: Pre-season 2025
Did Taylor play left back? I know its only pre season and positions are a bit more flexible but does this hint that its Conway/Taylor/Johnston for LB aligning with Schumachers "4 Centre backs" comment. It looked that way. I've managed about 30 minutes so far. It wasn't great. But it's early pre-sea...
