Cummins averaged 40 plus in India recently. Just saying. He isnt anything special when the pitch gets flat. 

Only helpful tracks he is deadly. 

Yes. But Australia has  Kuneman, Todd Murphy, Okeefe kind of bowlers to cover in India. Places where he is really needed he steps up.

This is why offie vs left hander is a legit theory.

[vvvslaxman]

Stokes surprisingly has a better average vs LYon. 45 or something.

Stokes doesn't care about his 50 while Indian batters  like jaddu at this position would be looking for singles in first ball of the over to get a 50 somehow and a n.o

Remember Thakur smashing Starc all over during that partnership with Sundar. Game turned on its head.

Steve smith takes catches like we used to take of our hard tennis ball

Broad

I think Australia should try Michael Nesar.

[vvvslaxman]

Smith as a fielder is the best among Root/Kane/Kohli

Neser and that express quick are better than Boland

yes. Even on pitches that are known to assist spinners, even against sides that has weakness a specific bowler. But problem is there is no real consequence for their stupid selections.

I remember Sehwag not running on 199* to protect Ishant at the start of the over

damn what a ball

[vvvslaxman]

Stokes has come a long way. He started with 3 ducks in a row against us. Bhuvi took him out twice atleast.

This Stokes has fight in him unlike any Indian cricketer I have seen. Closest is Gambhir and Yuvraj in their prime.

Pant is way better.
