I would've before the Sri Lanka series, but I get the feeling that Pattinson has peaked at debut while Southee's only heading upwards. Both bloody similar bowlers though, late outswing at brisk but not express pace and hit a dangerous fullish length when on song. Will be interesting to see how it plays out from here.

Southee certainly looked awesome against the might of Dean Hutchison and Scott Kuggeleijn today.

Even with eight fast bowlers injured the Australian bowling attack is considerably better than NZ's. I mean come on man, how is this even a thing?

Lol Australia. Southee already close to being better than Hadlee, and the best the aussies can come up with in response is a narcoleptic vegan ***** with a heart tumour.

you're doing that thing again where you say something with plenty of conviction but no substance.

I mean, Starc is definately in the stands if the lineup is full strength.

.
Do you think so?

Full strength Aus team for me would be Cummins, Starc, Pattinson, Watson and Lyon.

Tough on Siddle but I think the other 3 will be better strike bowlers in the long run. Plus there's the left arm variety there as well.

Not really surprised that you've tried to argue that our full-strength attack isn't that strong when you haven't picked our full-strength attack.

I haven't tried to argue that it's not that strong.

I've tried to argue that boult being in an inferior bowling attack is not true.

Which implies that our attack isn't that strong, because whilst I agree that NZ's attack has potential, they've hardly set the world on fire over the past few years.

After winning a match against SL all of a sudden they've gone to having an attack in the top 3 of world cricket and will be in the top 3 sides in the world in 4 years time according to this joker. Wow.

So all I've read in this thread is mostly **** **** **** ****. Quality trolling from Bahnz and Benchmark in parts. Spark might have said something too. Not sure.
