Any reason why England have forgot the leave shot?

Has there been a better 3 fast bowling line up since the WI of the 80s that Australia has at present for the last better part of a decade?

Starc had a few brilliant years during the sandpaper era, not sure he's been much to write home about otherwise.

"We have a massively undercooked batting line up, it's a green pitch that will seem and it's cloudy. I think we'll bat."

Edit - lol England deciding to bat first.

Quietly forgetting that Australia would've also batted had they won the toss...

Yeah I'm not quite sure about that. I hope that was all bluff.

But how long did they bowl together for? Just over 2 years? This has been more than 4 years that this trio has been together for.

Edit: looks like it was 13 test matches only and for 6 of those test matches at the end (apart from one where he got 4 wickets) Khan either didn't bowl or he got no wickets.

Kalliis was more of a bowler in his early days

I sort of did by saying last better part of a decade - but yeah I'm looking at longevity.

Nothing worse than fist pump yessing Warner getting bowled, then seeing him getting recalled due to the ball being a no ball. Apart from maybe your team getting rolled for 62

So the question is really "have England had a quick that's neither terrible or continually injured outside of Anderson or Broad in the last forever"

missed most of today so far. Came back to a 'nine lives Warner' segment in the tea break

10 lives and he might have made his hundred. <That's a shame/>

Is my understanding of Jimmy Anderson not playing at Brisbane correct that after the 45 min hit out in training before the test he was like nah **** this it is too hot - I'll wait for the day/night test match in Adelaide
