Reckon If Johnson and Steyn were bowling England would be 5 for not many......these two batsman average less than 30 in test cricket, they are county hackers.
Starc and Hazlewood have been getting hat tricks and wickets galore in shield cricket, just been off in intensity IMO...no fire at all..
You would make runs today. ...been that many half volleys....
Nice ball from Cummins..seamed back nicely......
I thought the bowling was too routine and the Poms batted well. Johnson and Steyn would have been trying something different to get a wicket and I guess that's where Smith falls down; he is an unimaginative skipper.
Apparently, Bayliss has a simple philosophy; bat longer than the other team. Unless our bowlers and skipper lift their games, the Poms could do just that.
