Archer needs to make the batsmen play more shots, he’s bowling well and is getting plenty of shape but I’d rather see him forcing the batsmen to play a shot and bring the slips into play.
Disappointing not to get more tonight but plenty there. Need to hit them hard tomorrow.
Forecast suggests there might be about an hours play tomorrow morning, with the rest of the day a likely washout.What seems daft, is that the plan to make up the time lost is to extend play to 7pm rather than starting the day early. Why can't they be flexible enough to look at the forecast and decide to start play at 10:30am?
Rain might be our best friend in this test. Wash this one out and then win a couple of the last three to win back those ashes. Yup, looking unlikely as it currently stands. We need changes to the batting line up but I don't know who we bring in.
