I just don't think we're in a world where the captain is solely responsible any more - there's a coaching team that presumably worked through this strategy, and the team is incredibly experienced, surely if Cummins was hell bent on this, some of the senior players on field (only Green is really an inexperienced cricketer) would have said it - not to mention the other two quicks, neither of whom are well suited to short stuff...

Regardless of the result at Old Trafford, the strategy surrounding field placings needs a complete overhaul for the next test at The Oval. Regardless of who's the architect behind this strategy - whether it be the coach, bowling coach, captain - the Aussies have become too fixated on this short-ball nonsense and way too many fielders on the boundary for most of the innings, especially on a pitch that doesn't have anywhere near the pace and carry in Brisbane and Perth (several balls were already shooting low this test, such as the one that dismissed Joe Root on day 2).
It's looking a bit better for our chances. But i reckon they'll still have enough time to roll our rabble for an embarrassing innings defeatIf this forecast for Saturday and Sunday is accurate, Australia should escape with a draw:
Yep…. And has had a decidedly human performance his standards
