That's an odd statement. It's the same bowlers who were the best attack in the world mere months ago. Same conditions, same grounds. By multiple measures (wickets, average, economy rate), they're doing as well as the opposition is.
It's fine to claim one person or two is off the boil - Starc does appear to be. But it's rather bizarre to claim the entire lot suddenly went from arguably the best, to useless, within months. There's no basis for that claim other than the circular argument "we're not winning so we must necessarily be playing badly" . You can be playing extremely well and still coming up short - the binary result of sport doesn't take away credit for legitimate effort. It's fine to claim one person or two is off the boil ........ thanks. I will Binary Result? Yep "binary result" of poor bowling and bowling on day 1 and 2 flat tracks is test losses. It's not rocket science. |

A bit of a conversation-stopper, Beoz. Why so antsy? Take it easy, man. Be nice.
The pitch is turning now as it was always going to do come day 3. Should be all over by stumps. |

I am nice. Just helping those scratching their heads over batsmen when toss winning and better bowling should be the focus. Also helping those know where the reply with quote button is

So what we're saying is Ponting, Clarke & Smith are all bigger tossers than Tim Paine?

Mark Taylor was the best tosser. His record at 2 up is excellent. Virat has never lost a test as captain when winning the toss. |

We were at a football match in Malaysia, LFC v the Prime Minister's 11. The Malaysian guy in front of us had a Malaysia shirt on, then when Liverpool hit the front he changed into a Liverpool shirt :lol: Have a great time!
Ta, it was a good day, the game is delicately balanced after day one ... 8 quick wickets for SL tomorrow and it’s game on. :lol: |
