Heard they will drop Harris for khawaja. Jhye in too. Rough time for pommies

We need an Australia with a brutal pacer like Johnson,Tait,Lee,Young Starc

Someone in their domestic circuit

I agee with you they respect pace from their own

Need Australia to unleash one,they have done this for decade and half

Well starc is still the fastest in the world along with wood (1/2 game man rofl ahhaha per series)  and nortje. 

 

143 on average. Wood is 147 ish but he is usually dead in the next match so doesn't count imo. 

 

From current ones let me see....only stanlake and Meredith but both suck lol.

when the ECB push county cricket to be played in April/May and September only, obviously you are only creating home track cloud bullies which can only win with medium pacers to swing the bowl- the months when the wickets are flat, these bozos are playing white ball cricket... how are you going to create test batsmen who can play in all conditions in test tours, same with bowlers- they hardly produce any 145K+ bowlers anymore at test level- trying to stretch Broad/Anderson involvement as long as possible by resting them for key games.

 

ECB has totally lost it

Who created this? lol Our fans get carried away  We have to focus on winning in SA for the first time.  Should we fail there it will be embarrassing.

they haven't lost anything - their real focus is in T20 and the Hundred.

Well, they lost the T20 WC and no one outside their stupid little country gives a toss about the Hundred.

If pujara and rahane both play we will lose 100%. S.africa is very strong now. Believe me. This will be as hard as Aussie tour.

I am sure they are more torn up about losing T20 WC than the Ashes since ECB clearly doesn't give a toss about it either.

I think richardson, if in form, can do well. it's a pity that Hazel is out, would much rather have seen starc out of team instead

Only stone

Mark wood

Jamie overton atleast used to

There is a saffer who is quick but erratic. Merchant de Lange

Brydo Carse

 

That's it

 Problem is all 5 are injury prone as *. Jamie is the slowest out of these but he is probably the most talented of the lot. 

Merchant is more a short format player.

Carse has potential but performing I county is much easier than playing against a top side like India. We won't always gift you guys like rahane pujara and vegan kohli.

I think Aussies lose the next one. Just not the same without hazelwood. Their best bowler tbh..even better than Cummins in Australia.

 

Aussie to win the series 3-1. I cant see a 4 or 5 0 with hazelwood out.

 

Root, stokes etc are all hazelwoods bitches.

Hazel is a world class bowler. But Cummins is still better than Hazel, both home and away. On the relatively flattish tracks of Oz, Cummins has a bowling avg of less than 21. Hazel can go missing on occasion - Cummins is relentless.

 

Hazel will be a huge loss, and does give Eng a chance back. However, he is not Oz's best bowler (home or away)

Check out who gets most key wickets out. Its always hazelwood. He gets root out the most. He gets kohli too the most. Only recently Cummins got him a few times. He gets Kane out the most. Hazelwood is a top player killer. 

 

Cummins is a freak obviously but hazelwood will be sorely missed. Cummins is their best bowler but without Hazel the attack is incomplete. He usually sets the tone and breaks partnership's 

 Cummins finishes it. 

 

Need both. 

 

Starc is only good in the first 4 overs and then vs tail from 8-10.

yes, you do need both.

 

however, if (and this is a big "if") jhye richardson is fit, I am looking forward to him bowl. That guy has a lot of skills too. Decent pace, good control, probing line and length, solid swing.

Jhye Richardson is like bumrah clone with a different action. Good skills pace nagging length. He is the future but he is very brittle. Very injury prone.

He should be called BABU - Brittle Aussie BUmrah

If he is injury free he will be the best bowler in the world along with bumrah and Cummins.
