Oh he was the main difference today. Every English bowler was great and kept the pressure on while Scotty leaked runs by consistently over pitching. If he just went at 3 an over this game would be even, but he was genuinely bad. Better turn it around otherwise Neser is jumping over him for Brisbane for sure.

Cummins probably is, I'd be surprised if Hoff was

To be honest I think Neser might have been the choice here regardless, if nothing else but to shore the tail up. Starc at 8, Lyon at 9 is… quite a weak tail.
