Only Australia and England have good batting for these conditions, England being more

Australian bowling isn't that good ,it's quite overrated

Starc blows hot and cold in red ball,only Cummins and Hazalwood are consistent that is not enough for a long series as they too are growing old,this is what happening to them

England have been aggressive and fantastic but Australia aren't carrying some lethal attack

When you play 5 tests in such a short span with same set of bowlers, you get tired too. Aussies pacers are not the problem. They don't have any decent backups which is the bigger problem.Their batting unanable to cash in flat wickets is a also a problem.

 

Australia certainly does not have an express fast bowler which was needed in these conditions and to put fear of god in England batsmen.

 

Scoring 600 in 107 overs whas not been done by any team other than England. If it was any other bowling attack they would have leaked more runs than Aussies.

Why is it you keep bringing India into picture.  No one is devaluing Indian home dominance.England doing at home is different from India doing at home.

Everyone does . How is it different lol

Most teams have fast bowlers so winning in England should be possible for any team with good fast bowlers.Aussies certainly have those fast bowlers but they have been dominated in this test match which we have not seen from any team.

They are still 2-1 up. Besides their fast bowlers are not swing trundlers who statpad in England

 

The likes of Woakes,Broad,even Anderson are useless on non swing conditions.

Boult's bowling is designed to thrive in English conditions. He was thrashed black and blue by bairstow and co.  Only tall bowlers have been somewhat effective here. Jamieson, Marco Jansen. Both super tall. This cameron green is masquerading as an all rounder. He has no real skills or guile to be a good fast bowler. CDG is better than him despite lower speed.

Cameron Green is not bad at all, CDG would have been useless especially on this pitch stop comparing CDG bowling on juicy wickets to Green's bowling on this flat wicket.

 

Starc is 6'6" , Cummin is 6'4", Hazelwood is 6'5" so there are no short  bowlers in Australian attack.They don't know what has hit them.

You are missing the point, Pat Cummins and co are not useless in these conditions as they are being made out .

Jansen and Jamieson are taller than them. THey get natural bounce. He was the one who owned us in the WTC final 2021.  Jansen bowled well in the match against England.  Australian bowlers are not versatile enough. Their method is wearing down the batsmen by bowling line and length consistently. Once you disturb them they have nowhere to run.

yes, they still won 2 games and 3 including WTC finals. Everyone has a bad game.

 

One game is being used to write them off and sing praises of team trailing at home lol

If we use 100 overs as a bench mark Following are the innings with high run rate by ENgland. 

 

5.49 vs Australia (107 overs)

4.20 vs NZ (128 overs)

3.89 vs SA (106 overs)

 

Over a period of 4 tests England has a strike rate of 72.80 on an average against Australia. 

 

vs India 71 - test

vs NZ  71 - 3 tests

vs SA  62 - 3 tests

 

Basically Australia is the worst among the lot.

 

For the record India's strike rate against Australia was also 60 in that one off Test. That line up is predictable.

So according to an "expert" on here, CDG is better than Cameron Green, who is a generational talent. Enough of ICF for this month!!

Jameison and Jansen have never faced this kind of batting in their career on these flat wickets. You are comparing Jamieson bowling India out on juicy pitch to this  wicket.They would leak more runs.

 

Jansen got pummeled by Aussies in Australia.He has been good when he has help from wickets .

 

Aussies generate more bounce and pace than those two you have mentioned, They might not be capable of bowling at Mark Wood's pace but they still are fast enough.They certainly can generate more bounce and they have been swatted out brutally in test.

Noone is writing them off, but I have not seen a very good attack like Australia pummeled to ground.

Keith jamieson signature characteristic itself is extra bounce of good length. They even have that in cricinfo profile. He had decent carry even in India. At Lords England chasing 250 odd he was the one who triggered a collapse. But others didn't support him. He took out Crawley cheaply in both innings.  He did the same against India. Jansen bounce is insane. Just because you score runs off of him on flat roads doesn't mean he doesn't get natural bounce. At Gabba he bowled well.  It is well known tall bowlers naturally generate more bounce because they have a much higher release point.  Both these guys proved that in matches

Because they are not a very good attack?  Crawley averages 19 against India 11 against New zealand  33 against SA  9 against SL  28 against Windies. But averages 42 against  Australia 68 against Ireland 70 against Pakistan.

Cummins, Starc and Hazelwood are far better bowlers than Jamieson will ever be invcluding bounce, stop it with your his bounce theory.

 

Indian bowlers won in England in two sessions twice too in 2021 too.

You are taking it out of context. Yea that England side was different. Even Ireland rolled them over in one of the innings. They were rolled over by West Indies too. I don't say they are far better bowlers. Easier way you can undo them is with extra bounce. You can sustain natural bounce longer than effort bouncers.  You are over-rating this Aussie attack. There is a reason why they lost two home series to India. Even to a side that had a bunch of T20 players. Full strength Australian bowling couldn't bowl us out in back to back matches. Then they struggled in Pakistan as well. Now here.

As an Indian fan we should already know this given how they struggled to get us out in several matches
