[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 883155, member: 20605"] Just a couple of things First, England's pace attack looks to be all same, same, same; there is no variety. Chris Woakes, Criag Overton, James Anderson and Stuart Broad are all right arm fast-medium and generally bowl over the wicket. Both the left and right handed Aussie batsmen are always facing the ball coming from the same general direction. A key factor in a bowling attack's ability to make batsmen uncomfortable is changing the angles of attack. Secondly, I thought Joe Root's captaincy was poor. Not only were his field placings not good, but he didn't counsel his bowlers very well. Surely he could see as well as anyone else that balls hitting the pitch cracks were often deviating sharply and/or bouncing unevenly, yet he didn't appear to be talking to his bowlers, telling them to concentrate on hitting those cracks.
