    Wood is their Wags. I'm not sure they'd want to swap

    He is more of a conventional first change out and out pace bowler no? Wood isn't bowling 15 over spells and you aren't brining Wagner on to blow through the tail. Wood is closer to a better version of Henry.

      Kane really is a great "leaver" isn't he?

      Thoughts on who is/was better at that?

        @rotated attitude and team spirit. Apologies for not being pedantic. Nobody ever is like wags, there's a video by Jarrod Kimber illustrating exactly why

          Well about the only complaint I have about that session is the time zone it was played in🙂

          Can devon cope with an afternoon of short stuff?

            Steve Smith springs to mind. Frequency, patience and making bowlers change, not elegance🙂

              so I broke down and signed up with Spark - must say despite being purely wireless, being able to watch in 1080p on my budget 24" monitor connected to a 10 year old laptop has actually worked very nicely so far. I'll make a final decision when this test ends but it's actually easier watching tests in England live than domestically.

                He hits the ball so damn late. There was one delivery where he seemed to hit it so late it was about to hit the stumps. One of the fielders looked quite perplexed

                  @canefan Nasser did a great analysis highlighting a small "box" where he keeps his hands. Never goes outside the box essentially when defending. Look at his hands and how far they move from his body and you'll quickly see his point, well made.

                          Ok, I'm going to say it.

                          Ross Taylor is past it. Great career but the body can't cope ( eyes, reflexes etc). Think Keiran Read in 2019

                          There, I've said it (nervous gulp)

                                  Hey! I didn't actually say he was playing awesome. Nasser mentioned that Anderson has gotten Kane 6 times in the past, and his average of around 30 in England is the lowest he has in any of the test nations.

Can someone please put Gary Stead out of our collective misery please?
