International Captain
Paine playing as a specialist captain batting no 8 while Wade is keeping.
Nailed on for a ton at Lord’s. Get on.Warner really should have played this
Yeah Siddle.Who, Siddle? If Hazelwood is bowling well I'd have him ahead of Siddle fo' sho. Starc only comes in when Pattinson needs a rest imo.
Agreed with all of it. Would rather have Haze as the holding bowler too. Looks like Starc served up some total dross in that tour game. Good signs.Yeah Siddle.
I think Patto plays Lords if he’s fit. 10 days off is a good rest period. That being so, and assuming Cummins is ok after he got better as the first test went on, it leaves one spot. And I reckon that spot is between Siddle and Haze, because I can’t see them playing Patto, Cummins and Starc. They’ll want someone in that holding role in s four man attack. Haze picking a good time to be taking poles
I can't see it ever happening. We don't need 5 bowlers, we need batsmen. Leaving out a batsman to play a 4th unnecessary seamer? nah****, it would be nice to see Hazlewood get back into top form. We are so close to The Four Horsemen (+1 Alien if you include Lyon) being a thing now.
5 Bowlers, with two of them being worth one batsman and one tailender. How would you bowl them? Who opens? I'd start with Starc and Pattinson. I think Cummins is better as first change.
He wasn't. He got injured and is only just coming back to full strength.Why was Hazelwood dropped? Wouldn't say he dined out v India last summer but he was hardly rubbish.
Not very often the 4 test players all outscore the 3 bats trying to make the team.Head and Khawaja getting runs with Manus and Marsh failing is pretty ideal
go onSpoke to a mate up in Qld the other day and he made a point or two in stark comparison with the opinions held by CW regarding the merits of our bowlers. It was interesting hearing something at odds with what I usually read on here. Kind of leading me to think there is probably some mythologising going on regarding some members of our pace attack.
