The highly talented England player is simply being used for when either the batting or bowling goes wrongFor anyone still curious about the exact role of Will Jacks in this England Test team, the key is probably to see him as a kind of a tell, a set of entrails, a weather vane on the state of the game.The first rule of Jacks goes like this. If you can see Will Jacks on your TV screen, it’s bad. If Will Jacks is bowling when you wake up something has gone wrong. If Will Jacks is batting something has also probably gone wrong.

14 h. ago England double down on Bashir as ‘No 1 spinner’ after Jacks toils in Adelaide

Patel: ‘Bash is our No 1 guy and does a fantastic job’Coach plays down suspicions of injury to StokesEngland have doubled down on Shoaib Bashir’s status as their “No 1 spinner” despite omitting their two-year project from the third Test in Adelaide and watching Will Jacks struggle in his place.Speaking after the close of play on day three, at which point Australia were closing in on an unassailable 3-0 series lead, England’s assistant coach Jeetan Patel said Bashir had been sacrificed to prop up a struggling batting lineup. But the tactic has backfired, with Jacks making just six during England’s sub-par first innings of 286 all out and, unable to command a steady line, sitting on overnight match figures of three for 212 from 39 overs.

17 h. ago Travis Head piles on pain with hometown hundred as Australia tighten grip on Ashes

Third Test, day three: Australia 371 & 271-4; England 286England trail by 356 runs to leave series hopes hanging by a threadThere were flickers of hope for England on the third day in Adelaide but like some of the murmurs thrown up by Snicko during this pivotal third Ashes Test, they were never entirely convincing. Instead, courtesy of Travis Head’s hometown hundred, Australia manoeuvred their way into a position of outright dominance.At stumps the hosts had reached 271 for four and built a lead of 356 runs. As a 53,700-strong crowd filtered out, the majority did so beaming. They had watched Head only further his cult hero status: an unbeaten 142 from 196 balls that meant England would need a record chase on this ground to prevent going 3-0 down in the series.

Hosts heading towards series victory in Adelaide Ashes top 100 | Get The Spin newsletter | Email MartinEnough talk, Scott Boland is about to bowl the first over of day three. It’s much cooler in Adelaide, around 26 degrees.“Honestly, it’s not England’s batting – that’s pretty much on par with Australia’s,” writes Andy Roberts. “The glaring difference is the bowling. If Australian batters look better, it’s because they are getting a lot more bad balls to hit. England couldn’t score any faster yesterday because the bowling was consistently accurate and tested the batter’s technique and concentration over after over, with no weak links. Compare that to England, with Jacks and Carse sending down rubbish time and time again. Continue reading...
