Ashes 2013 - 1st Test Trent Bridge: Five things England can take away

Steven Finn

4. Steven Finn or Tim Bresnan?

This question is likely to raise its head once again as Australia looked rather comfortable against Steven Finn excepting a crucial spell on Day One.

But, apart from that spell, Finn was scored of at more that five runs per over in the first innings and bowled only ten overs in the second innings.

He is an attacking bowler but he is not a threat with the old ball. Tim Bresnan and Graham Onions are two options that England can go with if they decide to drop Finn. Onions will be a better option bowling as the first-change bowler and with the old-ball whereas Bresnan will be able to extract greater swing in supportive conditions.
