It's The Ashes (again)

[AnelkasBeard]

Now that one was stupid from Duckett. This short, bouncer tactic from the Aussies is annoying and difficult to score against. Just ignore all the short ones. They'll tire themselves out, there's no Lyon to be able to rotate the quicks. And they'll have to go to another tactic if you just ignore what they're trying to do.

Ducket has a leave % of about 7% though, which is crazily low. Even someone as gung ho as Sehwag was at about 16%, most openers around 25%. I guess hard to tell him to leave the ball when that's what's helped him be successful.
