It's The Ashes (again)

[Tom Joad]

What is so great about this approach? It's insanity.

It's like any approach in any sport isn't it? If you win you get the plaudits, if you lose you get criticism. If we had won the first test, which was entirely possible throughout the game, there wouldn't be anywhere near as much criticism this test.

I enjoy the attacking approach, but do think there's a balance to be struck. A couple of batsmen who just dig in, to complement the attacking players would be beneficial.

Ultimately, in boxing terms we come out swinging every time. It can appear brainless at times, but it's exciting to watch, and we're trying to make things happen. It's always going to be open to criticism, but prior to this series, if you haven't enjoyed watching it, you're in a minority.

I love the approach but it is bordering on arrogance to come out baseball style when that was tge trap set. I think we all agree,  it just needs a tweak.
