England v Lions warm up match


Not seen a lot of Hammed, but what I have seen of his style doesn't fill me with confidence against the Ozzie quicks.
Hope I'm wrong.

I think what worries me from what I saw of him in the summer was how low he get's his hands in his forward defence. With the extra bounce and pace down under, he looks ripe for a broken finger/thumb/hand.

He's had a lot of issues with this and that's just in England.

Paradoxically though, I suspect it's less of a problem out there, precisely because pitches are so bouncy you can pretty much put the forward defensive away. And I don't think their quicks will start off pitching it up to him - he's going to get some chin music straight up, I should imagine.
 
They reckon the weather all summer along the east is going to be cloudy and rainy. Jimmy brought the weather with him for Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
