Re: James Anderson
Really hope I'm wrong, but have a feeling this is just one Ashes too far.
How he's kept going this far with the level of performance is utterly remarkable.

Re: James Anderson
I’m not sure he’s injured, I think they’ve just decided which 3 tests he will play in

Re: James Anderson
Rumour another day/night test with the pink ball to be played after the Perth one not going ahead. He’s written in a column he was only going to play 3 of the 5 tests.

Re: James Anderson
Sensible for him to play in the games where he is likely to be more dangerous.

Re: James Anderson
It doesn't bother me too much, I think that arguably the bowling unit will be relatively consistent whichever lineup we choose (I'm not saying consistently amazing, I just don't think that if anyone of them was out it would be a big downer, though the pace of Wood is something different).
It's the batting department that worries me more and due to its fragility I'm not sure we're going to win a Test in this series. Hope I'm wrong.

Re: James Anderson
If we planned logically then only one of Anderson Broad would play each test due to age/heat/fitness but it's hard to leave the most successful partnership of all time in English cricket out.

They said he had a slight thigh strain but wasn't injured.

Re: James Anderson
No point in risking him as the weather forcast for Brisbane over the next days is certainly not great.
We don't need a stop start type of game as this is the last thing a bowler of his age needs.

Anderson and Broad, now 39 and 35, but what a partnership they've been. Between them they now have over 1,150 test wickets.

Re: James Anderson
A rain affected draw probably wouldn't be a bad thing at all. Allows the players to shake off some of the ring rust and move on to Adelaide all square.Andreshotboots wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:39 amNo point in risking him as the weather forcast for Brisbane over the next days is certainly not great.

Re: James Anderson
With the workload of Broad and Anderson likely to be shared through the series time for Robinson to make one of the slots his own permanently

Re: James Anderson
Robinson will be a key part of any hopes we have.
He's tall so gets bounce, accurate, moves it a bit, has a good engine and is quick enough without being rapid.
Perfect for Australian conditions.

Re: James Anderson
Just read on twitter the last place is between Broad and Leach.
If there is rain around and the pitch is a little green then Broad would be my pick. Even if it means the attack is a bit samey.

Re: James Anderson
That’s a remarkable achievement. It’s not just about fitness but to maintain the motivation and dedication over such long careers is a real credit to both players.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 11:17 amAnderson and Broad, now 39 and 35, but what a partnership they've been.

Re: James Anderson
Have they relaid the pitch at the WACA?
