Crash Hamster Aug 2015 10:35am, 21 Aug 2015 588 posts	Quote Pin Crash Hamster For all the talk of Mitchell Johnson, his series figures are nowt special (and he bowled precisely 2 good balls at Edgbaaston) and the rest of the Aussie attack hasn't been that much better. their batting has relied on the top three (hence lots of 'we've got one end open' remarks at two-down yesterday...) and they've not looked a cohesive unit. We've beaten them thanks to Joe Root and some excellent lower order runs from Moeen, plus having a bowler record excellent figures in each of the last four innings before this one. I think we also look a team.
TRO Saracen Aug 2015 10:50am, 21 Aug 2015 11,199 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen We beat them because we can bat and bowl with a Duke on a green top in swinging conditions. They can't. Had both these teams lined up on the Aussie trampolines with a Kookaburra, then I'd still put money on the Aussies winning. The great sides get the away win in 'alien' conditions. I did hear a great idea that we should even it out by playing the Duke in Australia and the Kookaburra here.

Doctor K Aug 2015 12:16pm, 21 Aug 2015 3,588 posts	Quote Pin Doctor K The no ball situation now is farcical. Umpires should be calling them too - if there are regular no balls then all those should be extra runs for the batting side.
