I don’t think Mo was too bad all things considered but I’ve only been following the scorecard for at least three sessions now if not more. I like Rootalitharan as a spinner but I doubt he’ll be of much use once he starts getting hit on a flat pitch. I think they’ll also work on countering Brook’s medium bowling should it happen in the next game better.
I think the plan works if you have a pitch that can slightly aid the bowlers so that your bowlers get some usefulness from it whilst the Aussies don’t naturally get the same effectiveness and your side plays aggressive cricket with the bat to mitigate the potential lack of a number eight who would be considered more than a tailender in 2023. You then get on the field and try to get them all out in an equally aggressive manner before the lack of a holding spinner starts impacting the innings which is where a pitch that has a little something for the bowlers helps.

Pretty much said so that the Aussie tail is horrible. Cummins batting for sixty two balls was definitely not on the cards and I’d say it’s something England should’ve not allowed to happen.
OK well in that case Foakes has to come into consideration for Lord's,however my gut feeling is that's not going to happen. The main reason being because England are unsure where to fit him into team.
Yeah that annoying 34 run partnership for 7th wicket could still prove costly

While they might be innovative I think they will stubbornly back their decisions and selections. I think it'd take something truly calamitous for them to budge.
The top 7 won't change for at least this series unless someone gets injured. Can't see it changing for long after that.
Hate to say this, but I agree completely with KP, and what he said about Australia's tactics. Zak Crawley 'nicks off for fun' and they have given perfect opportunities to get in on a flat track.
