good lord we did well to beat this lot

Dude this is easily Australia's second greatest team after 2000-2008. People keep mocking them but they are a gun side. This bowling attack is second only to India's at full strength and saffers perhaps.

England will be 175 all out. Max.

How the heck did India manage to beat this Aussie bowling attack. Give fricking Pujara lot of credit for sticking out so long putting his body on line and negating over after over.This is why I would still choose Pujara for first test in SA.

Because India's bowling is even better? But our players like pace and bounce tbf.

Pujara lol. Sundar Pant and everyone played Cummins so well. Pujara made it look impossible.

Aus only has cummins & hazlewood. Starc is way inconsistent and lyon has been avg in last few years. Their bowling will get more strong if they replace starc with richardson though.

Richardson is not that special. He doesn't get picked because he doesn't have the pace of starc. Australia only care about pace.

Hameed is a pretty decent player tbh. Good defense.

Lol he bowls at good pace & will play in this ashes.

Eng could have put Australia under pressure by bowling here. Robinson, woakes & broad/anderson along with stokes would have loved to bowl here.

Losing toss is not bad sometimes.

Not after injuries. Dude is a one to 2 test man. He is slower than starc. Around hazelwood pace.

60/5

Aussie pitches can be really diabolical at times..  Rahane also lost the toss as Brisbane & MCG.  Whatta amazing place to play cricket.  Toss is almost a non factor.  

MCG should host WTC final over Lords imo.

No it is not - Ian and Greg Chappell's side in the 1970's was far better than this one - esp in batting. 

Ian Redpath

Alan Turner

Ian Chappell

Greg Chappell

Doug Walters

Ross Edwards

Rodney Marsh

Max Walker/Gary Gilmour

Dennis Lillee

Jeff Thomson

Ashley Mallett

Then we will win and people will whine.

Buttler on attack...  Shows having Positive minded players is a luxury on fast tracks.

Joe Root against real pace cannot do his nudging and pushing and grafting for big scores......esp on Aus pitches.
