Australia v England, 3rd Test, 16th December , 23.30


So you don't think people will tire quicker bowling in 35 degree heat, carse isn't exactly running in full pelt
He's bowling 8mph slower than his average test speed. He's got the new ball, it's The Ashes and we're 2-0 down. You need to start aggressive and make a point....not trundle in 8 mph slower than your average speed. Dog shite bowling
 
Just not good enough from Carse. He's not a new ball bowler, how often has he taken the new ball at county level? He's a back of a length, bang it in type.

Bowling unit as a whole just isn’t good enough really.

It’s easy with hindsight, but an attack of Carse, Atkinson, Archer, Wood & Tongue is never going to win you an ashes series. Be lucky if it wins you a test.
