If Sam Curran could bowl like that more regularly, he’d be a legitimate strike bowler. That last LBW is unplayable.

 

He's getting some amount of movement in the air, 2 more lbw shouts in that over but the ball had done too much.

 

Only downside is the lack of pace if it's not swinging, but it does show the impact having a left handed bowler can have. Felt in the last test that all England's bowlers were too similar, especially with Archer bowling at much the same speed as Broad.

Yes, I feel, a lot like Wood (and possibly Archer), you either get him causing the opposition no end of bother or no bother at all. There's no middle ground. Brilliant or expensive.

Why have they not brought in the rule about the toss going to alternate teams (obviously after doing the first one as it stands just now)? That seems like the most sensible rule change ever, and takes some of the luck of the toss out the game.

Makes loads of sense. Make it so the away team get the toss in the first test, alternate from there.

Although I suppose home teams could then manipulate how pitches are prepared for the games they have the toss.
