Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I do not understand that if Archer is this top line quick why stokes is bowling 11 or 12 overs on the spin against the two rabbits - can’t imagine Bumrah not bowling to finish this off. Yet we are reduced to Stokes flogging himself to death with hopefully short stuff. Why? Ball is 70 overs in? Jasp...

I feel we may have spun this record, somewhat!BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Mon Jul 14, 2025 3:09 pmWe’ve bowled 7 overs at Bumrah who is off the back of 4 ducks or something like that. Ball is soft but still this is the problem. Who is the strike bowler in these situations?Worthy4England wrote: ↑Mon Jul 14, 2025 3:01 pmI'd be happy to see the back end of Jadeja right now!

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Think we're short here but not by anywhere near are much as the commentary team who thought you'd need 280-300. India big favourites but it won't be easy to get them. Not a pitch where anyone has scored quickly and it's got demons in it now. Big innings for Bashir coming up. There is a substantial ...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Anyhow whilst we weren't talking about batting, they managed 83 and 84 for 5 in the last test and are now 98-4, that's no great shakes either! Because India have an attack putting the ball in the right areas consistently on a wareing track and making it talk. It’s excellent bowling and not just fro...

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...
