Australia was thrashed in England by England. But on these pitches they can't do the same

Still Australia win some matches

[Suhaan]

Aussie Reddy nearly got Sir Pope

[maniac]

Dogett reminds me of our our very own Kamboj 130.1 @The Realist 

[putrevus]

If England cannot beat this Australian bowling attack then they will never win in Australia.

[Nikola]

Saved by Rain in the last test. Also Stokes dropped Lyon. Otherwise it would have been 3-1 England.

145 for Starc , this guy was bowling above 150 with ease when he was young. He has been so durable while bowling at such pace.

400+ test wickets for someone with that pace is so rare.

[MK55]

Doggett another medium pace swing guy?

[maniac]

Dogett making the ball talk  this guy might run though our top order in helpful conditions  @vvvslaxman

[Lone Wolf]

Attack this Trundler Brook

[putrevus]

Aussies have loaded team  with trundlers.

But many times they struggled against us with second change third change bowling.  They miss two of their best  bowlers.

England have some mental block on Australian pitch

But pitch is pacy. So that's okay as long as he hits the length

This is the pitch where jaiswal said "You are bowling  slow"  

All the juice had dried by then,this is first hour of play,Kohli scored a ton that says much about that phase of play

We were 150 all out first inns
