this seriously is a poor australian team, il b shocked if this goes in to the 5th day to b honest, the batting is worse than pakistans
I beg to differ
England have a very strong team.
Can't believe Aus left Harris out. Not convinced at all about Starc in Tests. Siddle yeah he's got heart but Harris is a much better bowler than him as well.
in a way its Harris's fault.
He gets hurt like every game.
Maybe OTT, but I see a McGrath in Pattinson
Australia's bowling line up looks so good!
Pattinson
Starc
Siddle
Watson
Agar
Clarke
Yeah I guess that's his only chink in the armour. But still would have played him 1st Test and Faulkner maybe as back up instead of Smith.
Harris in for Siddle and Faulkner in for Starc and it'll be even better imo.

you missed Smith a loopy leggie
Yes Harris is very good but if he gets injured in a test match then it puts much more pressure on the other pacers as they then have to take up more of the workload which not only decreases their pace and effectiveness but also increases their chance of also picking up an injury.
At the end of the day having Siddle/Starc for 5 days is better than having Harris for 3/4 days.

Siddle is a must. That guy has the biggest heart of all. Gives it all. Faulkner is again, an LOI bowler. But yes, if Harris fits into this, this pack will be great
Cook seems to have dozed off. lol

Faulkner has an excellent FC record but not so impressed when i see him play.
O Keefe is one guy who should have been here ah well.
Agar I have no idea about.
Personally I think Steve Smith will play better than Philip Hughes
If Aussies were playing Smith, I'd have not played a spinner and played Faulkner.Faulkner seems to be in great touch with both the bat and ball tho. Might not look much of a threat but if he picks up wickets and scores runs game after game worth a gamble I say. OKeefe would have definitely given Aus more options. Not sure why he's been ignored. I remember him doing very well in a tour match against Eng before the last Ashes in Aus. Haven't seen Agar but from what I have heard decent with both the bat and ball. I reckon Lyon is a bit hard done by though.

Feel the spinner is going to be used as a defensive option, someone to give the pacers a break. So I say pick another pacer, make their attack more penetrative and Smith's capable of some overs of spin, even Clarke himself.
Australia's pacers are so much better than their spinners, think in most cases best not to pick a specialist spinner.
Thing is I think Australian pacers will do better than spinners in helpful conditions to them. That's the gap.The word is that this wicket should give the spinners quite a bit of assistance later on.
Siddle bowling a load of pies as usual. Crap bowler.
Rather face Fiddle than Rhino that's fo sho.
