True but this is not Lords. On this deck Broad and Woakes could cut us up early. Forget about archer the big threat in these conditions is Broad and Woakes.
All I have heard is Archer this and Archer that. Look don't get me wrong as he is an exciting talent, but honestly Broad has been the pick of the bowlers for mine. He's a real danger on this deck.
Don't take your eye of those 2 or look out.
Yep, if the pitch will suit the bowlers Broad will be seaming it both ways and Woakes will be swinging it around corners.
Still though the pressure is on the bowlers to get it right and get early wickets immediately.

It’s a UK thing. Making the best of the conditions. Backing your bowlers in.
Australia is different. Usually batting paradises that do very little.
