Australia in West Indies


Australian batting line up has work to do before the Ashes as I've mentioned in an another thread. Big call to drop Labuschagne and I think I'd have slightly more faith in England's top 7 at the moment with Duckett, Root, Brook and Stokes people you can almost hang your hat on, at the moment I'd only be worried about Head and to a lesser extent Smith.

What's worse though our bowling or their batting

We will find out in a few months time! Difficult to say really as it's difficult to predict England's bowling line-up going into the first test. One things for sure though, at the moment there's not a huge amount to trouble any bowling attack we put out. Even the line up in this test has performed OK outside of their 3 star batsmen

Hope to God I'm wrong I just think bashir will struggle full stop and wood can only play 2-3 games and it's a big ask of archer? We know about Woakes as well Atkinson I do like is there anyone else who hasn't played who can be in the question, do you rate ports and carse

I'm not sold on Bashir but I think the pitches over there will suit Carse and possibly Tongue. Atkinson will pose problems and we just need to alternate a quick option whether that be Wood, Archer, Stone, Overton or whoever else.

I think Potts will offer more over there than Woakes and a lot rests on how many overs Stokes can get through.

I will say about Bashir although he didn't get the wickets he was landing the ball in a better area more consistent, yeh you can't play wood and archer at same time, we need to manage stokes so he can bowl in all games

Smith out with finger injury presumably. Maybe Daddy will be able to kiss it better.

Listen to a couple of Aussie based podcasts and they’re genuinely worried about their batting going into the winter.

Australia have won the toss and are batting

It’s on TNT Sports but if you haven’t got access to that it’s also on for free on a bookie site I use

To get its name send pm

Chance to gauge the Aussies

There’s no comms on the free stream but you get the pitch noise of wickets etc etc

And it’s completely legit to watch

I am working at the moment so just keeping an eye on the live score mate, but I might drop you a PM later when/if I get some time to sit back and watch it.
 
Shamar Joseph destroyed the Audsie batting last time but done very little since.

Hopefully he will find form again in this series.
