bwfcfan5 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Apparently we're only playing 3 quicks plus Stokes and Ali.... So its one of Woakes/Archer/Curran/Stone (or Wood if he's fit) to go with Anderson and Broad. I'd like to see 4 plus Stokes as bowling is our strength but I guess they are worried about a long tail....

Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Aussies saying that they will rest 1 or 2 of the main bowlers? Kidology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit strange picking the team early and without Archer. Fingers crossed, but will their bowlers edge it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll miss Archer if its flat and not moving in the air. I found it odd he's not playing but perhaps the idea is to get his side rested fully then bring him in down the line? There is talk Australia are leaving Starc out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Edgbaston goes ok, I guess Archer for Broad at Lords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is I'm not sure Lords is an ideal place for Archer... And unless he has a stinker I think Broad's in. It is Woakes or Archer I think as a choice....unless they play an extra bowler...which I would but they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 1, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2019 Archer was supposedly managing a bit of a side strain in the world cup. I would assume they're getting him 100% before putting him into the test arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen any of it so far, how have we bowled? Said on the radio on a bit I heard that stokes had bowled all over the place- have we let them off the hook a bit, or is it all good?
