6/42 from 20 overs, the forth best figures by a test captain since 2000 and the forth best first innings figures by a West Indies captain ever.Jim05 wrote:Holder ended up with 6 as the Poms skittled for 204.

Awful.
Chanderpaul I could at least watch, as he dropped into a normal-ish position when the bowler released.
Bailey was stupid, and was hard to watch
Burns just looks like a D grade park cricketer

I think the poms have enough unfortunately.
Was plenty in the wicket, will be too much for the Windies to handle

Sibley is pretty unco and his stance makes him hard to watch.Armchair expert wrote:Corona Man wrote:The Dark Knight wrote:Not very easy on the eye is he!Corona Man wrote:Burns is a dead set crab.

Grenville wrote:Holder has the potential to bowl 5kms quicker without changing much which would make him an ever harder proposition to face. He's a cracking player. Always rated Gabriel, he's a genuine spearhead. Roach has proven me wrong, I thought when he lost a yard of pace he'd be cannon fodder but he seems to have adjusted his role. Jimmy Anderson's looking like a constipated Ralph Macchio.
Without Statsguru-ing, who's the best one-change fast bowler in Test cricket since 2018?
How many of you guessed it was Jason Holder? Pat Cummins, Neil Wagner, Mohammad Shami; any of these would be valid, understandable guesses. All three have over 60 wickets each in that period, compared to Holder's 39 but it is Holder who has the best average (14.66) among bowlers with more than 20 wickets. He also has the best economy rate (2.66). He has the best strike rate of the three. He has four five-fors in that period, the joint-most with Wagner.
Since 2017 in countries where the Dukes is used - England and West Indies - Holder is on par with the master - James Anderson.
The England strike bowler has 82 wickets in 19 Tests at 17.10 with an economy of 2.43. Holder has played three fewer matches, but has picked 67 wickets at 17.97 with an economy of 2.49. In the rest of the world, where the Kokaburra and SG Test balls are used, Holder has played just five tests, taken 14 wickets (one five-for) at a healthy average of 25.92. He's still not easy to score off, conceding just 2.44 per over.

Thank god he has made some changes and lengthened his run up, it looks so much more comfortable now, there's no way he'd have any longevity if he stuck with his old run up and follow through. His ankles would be loving it, looks like there's alot less stress on his body now.Grenville wrote:Interesting watching Wood's comparison between 2015 and now, longer run-up and finishes lower in his follow through. Should've listened to Michael Holding earlier.

Archer's run up and action is much easier on the eye and looks so much less stressful on his body. He's bowling high 80s and it looks almost effortless.
