I'm going to be in trouble if we sudden?y go **** again aren't I?
I listen to the Tailenders podcast feat. Sir James Anderson. Now I don't know if he has any inside info but he is going with a bowling attack in Perth of:
Archer
Wood
Carse
Tongue
Stokes
So... No spinner (other than Root / Jacks if he plays and bats 3). But 5 bowlers who can bowl at over 90mph (well over in some cases).
What I don't know is how that deck in Perth plays at the new ground. It's a drop-in I know that much.... but either way; their batting doesn't look all that so we have at least got the gas for the first time in about 20 years to do well out there.
It's certainly not supposed to be as bouncy as the Waca was. Still a very potent bowling line up, assuming they all don't break.
We certainly have the 'wheels' this time. And without question, Archer on fire is unplayable and whatever the Aussies say, they are scared of him.
I think Atkinson has to play and could do well there. I'm not convinced about the others. I like Wood and Carse but they'll need to be a their best to make a contribution.
The spinners are likely to prove useless.
We can score heavily over there, no question. But wickets is key...
