I’m no expert by any means. I just think if you bowl at the stumps, you’re a chance of getting a wicket

Just need one, perhaps 2 half decent partnerships with a low chase. Lose early wickets and it’s all over.

Got Trav winning the match all over it. :D… especially now he’s opening :lol:

Saying that, this test is also a great example how T20 has ruined test batsmen.
Big difference between being aggressive and being stupid. Bowling has been pretty good too.

*Carse wicket is a prime example.

Two sides to the argument, at least we’re seeing far less draws nowadays, I’m glad the game has tweaked a little, attacking batting and bowling everywhere but the sub-continent.

It was a batters game for far too long.

The one advantage is it keeps the rest of the order as is.
And Uzi might be able to contribute usefully at 5 or 6 (hopefully tomorrow).
