As a 20 year old bowling easily at 85 mph One of the ball was 89 mph

 

 

his height also gives him (and jamieson) considerable bounce

Yea for sure. 

 

If India can have prasidh with bumrah and siraj with harshit we would have the best attacking for flat pitches. Until then it's SA

Bhai The same Australian team won one test in Pakistan where as England batted the same Pakistani team into submission and won all three tests.

 

This England batting is on another level, I really thought Australian attack would be good enough to overcome them .If you hear Ponting you see the pride Australian admitting what this bazball has done is unheard off.

 

Australia mein bazball nahin chalega, you heard it here first, tu dekh le.

 

You need a balanced mix of attack and caution like how Laxman bats. I don't trust Pant's approach, can work sometimes but not reliable always.

In England after their bazball approach. SA won by an innings and 12 runs

SA dropped Jansen stupidly next test and paid the price

 

They lost two tests in this series too. They still won that series against SA.They lost test against NZ too.

 

But I admit England batting is just scary, they are not depending on one or two player to score runs.

Australia and India are where it needs to be seen if this bazball works.But if they bat 50 overs they will score enough runs with this appraoch in India on any spinning wicket.

The thing is this Australian attack is easier to bully compared to SA attack. SA's batting is what make them poorer.  Same Australian attack could not remove Babar Azam until he scored 196 runs. England attack with average attack got rid of babar every time in 3 tests. They struggled against Woakes/Wood last match.

Same wit india. Our weak batting makes our strong bowling look weak sometimes.

I don't think so , they are not even in the same ball park.Nortje other than his pace has not many skills.Rabada is overworked and overused.

Pak tried playing positive cricket to answer critics (everyone called Babar and Rizwan selfish) against England but ended up losing 3-0.

 

Against Aus they were in Michael Atherton mode completely, hence the reason why Aus bowlers found it hard to dismiss them.

Aussies will come up with some strategy in the next Ashes 100%

 

You can be certain they won't be resorting to the brainless short ball tactic like they are doing here.

I am not sure how you can say that.  They rely on Lyon holding up one end and rotate the seamer from other end. Now they have no one to do holding job. They are brutally exposed. SA used Maharaja for 7 overs in the entire India series in 3 tests. They could still work.  This team relies on pitch offering a bit of bounce. Cummins is an exception. But he can't do it all alone.

England had excellent bowling strategies. Wide of the crease stuffs. Reversing the ball. Australia quickly runs out of ideas. They heavily rely on CUmmins who himself has a lot to prove in Asia.
