Second Ashes Test, Lords

Re: Second Ashes Test, Lords

Agreed, I think it will be Cummins, Pattinson and Hazlewood though. For some reason we seem to have lost faith in Starc because of his economy rate

I think they feel Starc's selection is most dependant on conditions. If we get a pitch with some obvious grass and pace, I think they'll play him - especially after seeing the impact Archer had.

Can anyone remember a spell like that from an opposition quick in terms of pure ferocity? Closest I've seen was Mitch Johnson in our home Ashes win a few years back.

Curtley Ambrose at Perth when he took 7/1 was as close to unplayable as I have ever seen. Archer's effort was OK but he spent more time plugging up one end more than anything. Sure he had that one spell where he bowled fairly fast but the rest of the time he was just alright.
