Great series so far with root and head. Missing one this time

He's in the team for Head

Can anyone remember what Siddle's pace was in his prime? I vaguely remember him pushing 150 but can't be certain.

Siddle bowling shite- get hazelwood back

 

[ROOTA#6]

Pitch the bloody thing up

 

[Santana]

Just bowl Cummins from both ends

Sids needs a rib eye.

Just a bat first pitch bat first series situation, we have taken Lyon out of the game and given leach his best chance to impact a test.

imagine the pressure for England chasing a total trying to save the series now we are going to have to chase or survive late to win the series.

What did Paine and langer see here that made it bowl first?

This pitch is dead really.
Siddle is a bad choice, needed Pattinson, heck even Starc has a habit of getting wickets of dead pitches. (Any Aussie Pitch).
Head should of stayed in.

 

[Santana]

Just nick one w***er

 

[The Convert]

About 135 ish maybe a bit more

Geez Siddle, if you're going to bowl at popgun pace, at least find a decent line and length.

 

[Plugger35]

The 2nd innings will probably be Denly's last test innings

Probably Siddle's last test as well.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

His bowling is underrated. The problem with Marsh is he has never really been able to justify batting in the top 6

Early days his bowling was quite decent but it’s progressively got worse by the year as his focus has been more on getting his batting to a strong enough level.

These are his bowling averages since January 1, 2016



Has taken 27 Sheffield Shield wickets at 34.4 during this period too.

 

[Outshined]

Right arm poo

 

[DangerHere]

So:
They dropped Head, our 4th best performing batsmen, retaining Warner and Harris (two of our worst batsmen this series) to give the bowlers some respite with MMarsh's bowling, even though MM is one of the all-time worst #6, ever.
If that's not weird enough, they won the toss and bowl.
If they wanted to rest the bowlers or give them a break, bat for two days. That'd be a good rest.

Seriously, wtf?

This has something to do with Brexit, Boris, and the Queen

Playing Siddle is nearly as baffling as bowling first. Langer and Paine have lost the plot a bit I think.

 

[DaRick]

Siddle did well at The Oval last time around, but if Cummins was really cooked, I'm surprised that they didn't just bring Pattinson in.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

This is poo

 

[SSwans2011]

Letting them get to 50 in the first hour after choosing to bowl is terrible.

Was mid 140's back in like 2009 from memory.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Watch Ellen ton up in the dead rubber

 

[DangerHere]

This is BS, why the F are we bowling ?

 

[Santana]

Yep, we're in for a tough day.

Poor stuff from team management
