They are old my man. 

It's going to be hard.

Wood and perhaps stone should have been picked but stone is a very injury prone fellow.

Carey has poor record against ENgland/India. As usual like any other Aussie has bullied Pakistan

Tim Paine averages 52 vs india. He was underrated.

no, he wasn't underrated by his board. he was made captain for a reason because his place was never in question during his peak - one of the first names on the list.

He is actually quite good. Without him aus would have lost 3 0 to india in 2021. Tim Paine stood up in second innings vs us. Without his innings, they would have been finished.

Rohit and virat have that chalega yaar attitude. They don't care. No passion whatsoever ever since they won in Australia back to back. 

 

It's etched in history so in their minds, they have attained greatness and therefore have no reason to prove themselves anymore. 

I admit it was phenomenal to win there but we need to still aim to win the title for the country. As pointless as it may seem, icc mace is still a grand final and it needs to be r3spected. If the truly valued this title, they wouldn't play without any prep, especially coming right off ipl. True colours have come out.

True. Lost the fire in virats case.

This man rohit has done nothing except gain kilos and make our players fitness worse.

Without Tim Paine aus would have lost the first match in 2021. They were on the brink. 0 3 would have been a very bad look. 

 

His average vs india is 52. He has been alright vs england too. He is not an average player. Sure Carey may be a better batsman now but Paine is no slouch either. He has scored some tough runs.

i asked when did this happen in last post? where you get those random stats from?  yes he played important knock against us but average of 28 overall since he became captain is not that good. against england he averages 28 so not alright really.
